Join Coventry Cathedral Chorus as we bring you the profound beauty of Sir John Stainer’s The Crucifixion in the moving setting of Coventry Cathedral this Good Friday. This beautiful music is a cornerstone of the Victorian sacred tradition, a meditation on the Passion. It is a moving way to enter into the emotional and spiritual meaning of Holy Week.
This much-loved work continues to resonate with audiences more than a century after its composition. From the expressive recitatives and the poignant Unfailing Love duet to the reflective choruses and timeless congregational hymns, The Crucifixion brings together some of the most enduring musical moments in the Anglican choral repertoire.
Whether The Crucifixion is a cherished part of your Holy Week tradition or a discovery yet to be made, this Good Friday performance invites you to encounter Stainer’s music afresh—rich in emotion, steeped in heritage, and perfectly suited to the contemplative solemnity of the day.
