Good Friday Service of Music
At this year’s Good Friday Service of Music, the Central Congregational Church Choir – conducted by Patrick Aiken, organist/choirmaster – will present “The Crucifixion” by John Stainer (1840 to 1901). One of the most distinguished musicians of his generation, Stainer was appointed organist of London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1872.
“The Crucifixion” is an oratorio scored in 20 movements for choir and organ, featuring solos for bass and tenor. Stainer modeled the work on the scheme of choruses, chorales, recitatives, and arias in Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion.” However, intending the piece to be performed during a normal church service, he also included five hymns for congregational participation.
The concert is free, open to the public, and accessible.
