Playlist for:
The Crucifixion



Notice. This is a monaural, non-professional, live recording made by the Annapolis High School choral department of the 1959 spring performances. It has been mastered and restored, but it remains a non-professional recording.

There are 20 numbered parts in The Crucifixion score consisting of:

In this playlist, for completeness, all titles of all numbers in the score are shown. (The hymns are noted as omitted from the performances.)

Each of the numbers shows what performer type is designated in the score. This performance deviates from Stainer's designations because there were 3 choirs that participated. The choral director substituted the 2 womens choirs for a number of the parts the score designated for solo and recitative parts. (That means this version of The Crucifixion has more choral content than designated in the score.) The director also used 2 of his sopranos as substitutes for a tenor part. The performers in the 1959 AHS performances are shown on the line following the subtitle.

The solo performers names came from the record, and are clearly in order by first appearence. That information enabled filling in individual soloists' names, and which choir (mixed or womens) on the playlist.

(Unfortunately, no information is available to differentiate which of the 2 women's choirs sang which solos and recitatives. If anyone can help with this information, please click on the comment button at the bottom to send information or your contact information.)


NOTE. If the information can be found, a future 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 (if it contains that information). That means I need to find my copy, or someone needs to loan me a copy. (Can anyone help?
