Notes

For SATB, Evangelist (Baritone), Christ (Tenor) with Organ accompaniment.
It is in three parts - Part 1 Christ's Coming and Maundy Thursday, Part 2 Crucifixion, Part 3 Resurrection. The mp3 plays back the complete work using a sound library. 
I have always wanted to write a Passion piece. The piece is a 35 minute choral cantata with words I’ve selected from St Luke’s Gospel as well as two lovely Christina Rossetti poems plus a new setting I’ve done of There is a Green Hill Far Away.
