Maunder's "Olivet to Calvary" Guildford Cathedral Choir.1965

The choir, directed by Barry Rose, sing J H Maunder's Olivet to Calvary, which choirs often alternated year on year with Stainer's Crucifixion.
This was the first commercial recording by Guildford Cathedral Choir, recorded in November and December 1984. A remarkable recording achievement for a choir founded only three years earlier. This recording has never been out of EMI's catalogue, probably because it is the only commercial recording of the work.

53:28
"The Son of God goes forth to die. To yield in pain His mortal breath. To rob the grave of Victory, And take, for aye, the sting from death."
59:49
"Gaze, mortal, gaze, The Saviour hangs for thee, Silent in death, Upon the accursed tree. Love, holiest love, Shall earth and heaven atone, In fadeless day, From Christ's eternal throne!"
Perfect Easter listening. Thank you for uploading.
