Playlist for:
The Crucifixion



Notice. Version 1 was released in 2023. It is replaced with version 2, released in 10/6/2024. It is a remastered and restored digital version of The Crucifixion from the 1959 LP, which is a monaural, amatuer, consumer grade recording made in Spring 1959 of the live performances by the 3 Annapolis High School choirs.

Stainer's score of The Crucifixion contains 20 numbered parts, some containing multiple subparts. They consist of:

In the playlist below, for completeness purposes of the score, all titles (including the hymns) contained in the score are shown. (The playlist notes that the hymns are omitted from the AHS 1959 performances.)

Each of the numbers shows what performer type is designated in the score. Stainer designed the score to be easier for church choirs to perform, assigning many recitatives and arias to soloists.

To make maximum use of his 3 choirs. the AHS choral director deviated from designations in Stainer's score. He substituted the 2 womens choirs for all but one of the major solo parts designated for arias and recitatives. That makes this version of The Crucifixion dramatically more choral than the score's designations. The playlist indicates whether mixed or womens choirs performed the numbers.

For the multiple small solos Stainer designated as by members of the choir, student members from the mixed choir were used. For one tenor part, the director substituted 2 sopranos from the mixed choir. The student soloists in the 1959 AHS performances are shown on the line following the subtitle of those parts.

We have those student soloists names because they are on the private LP record, clearly in order by first appearence. That enabled filling in the individual soloists' names.


(Unfortunately, no information is available to differentiate which of the 2 women's choirs sang which solos and recitatives, or if they sang them together. If anyone can help with this information, please click on the comment button at the bottom to send information. Your contact information will only be used if clarifications are needed.)


NOTE. If the information can be found, my goal is to build a webpage containing names of the choir members in each of the 3 choirs. A possible source for that might be the Wake yearbook for 1959. (My recollection is the yearbook did not cover the choirs.) To verfy if any such information is contained in yearbook, I need to find my copy (buried in a box as part of a previous move), or someone needs to loan me a copy. (Can anyone help??? with either of these? Reply via comment button below!!)
