Excerpts from The Passion of Christ,
by Arthur Somervell (1863-1937)
This week you will be able to hear the Chancel Choir's Good Friday meditation online. We recorded excerpts from The Passion of Christ, by Arthur Sullivan (1863-1937). This Anglican Passion has been described as "a forgotten masterpiece,' and we are pleased to offer the following excerpts from the work: the introduction, "O Savior of the World"; the choral meditations and hymns from the "Seven Last Words" portion of the Passion; and the final movement - an original hymn - Praise to the Holiest in the Height. I recommend finding time to listen to our recording on Good Friday, following along with the words, also provided online.
