John Stainer's The Crucifixion has been popular with choirs and audiences since its first performance in 1887. It is composed for choir, organ, and tenor and bass soloists, and combines choruses, solos, and hymns as it tells the story of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ.
The rest of the programme of Lenten music spans from Tudor times to the present day and includes the luminescent motet O Nata lux by Thomas Tallis and the beautiful Tantum Ergo by Gabriel Jackson.
Join us for this programme of music for Lent in the wonderful setting of Douai Abbey.
Tickets £15, Under 18's free, from www.newburychamberchoir.org or on the door
