The annual Good Friday performance of Stainer's Crucifixion Sir John Stainer wrote his 'Meditation on the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer... interspersed with hymns to be sung by the congregation' for the Choir of St Marylebone Church in 1887 and it has been performed in the Church on Good Friday every year. Although the work fell out of favour during the 20th century (in common with other Victorian gems like St Pancras Station) it has enjoyed a considerable revival in recent years. The performance is conducted by Stephen Grahl, Director of Music at St Marylebone, who co-incidentally studied at Magdalen College Oxford, where Stainer was organist before moving to St Paul's Cathedral back in the 1870s. |
