- Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose:
Recording in Guildford Cathedral, November 1964:
(Tenor: John Mitchinson. Baritone: Frederick Harvey. Organ: Peter Moorse. John Maunder was born in Chelsea, London, in 1858 and was the organist of several churches in the London suburbs. He became conductor of the Civil Service Vocal Union in 1881. As a minor composer, his œuvre includes a number of anthems and cantatas, including “Olivet to Calvary”, which was published in 1905 on a libretto by Shapcott Wensley. He also wrote settings of canticles for the Anglican Church, several part-songs and church hymns, some instrumental music and two operettas.)
- 1. When o’er the steep of Olivet
- 2. Like a fair vision in the morning light
- 3. O Jerusalem!
- 4. And Jesus entered into the temple of God
- 5. Another temple waits Thee
- 6. Not of this world the kingdom of our Lord
- 7. ’Twas night o’er lonely Olivet
- 8. He was despised and rejected of men
- 9. Come unto Him, all ye that labour
- 10. Just as I am, without one plea
- 11. And Jesus, knowing that his hour was come
- 12. A new commandment give I unto you
- 13. O Thou whose sweet compassion
- 14. And when they had sung a hymn
- 15. Thy will be done, the Saviour said
- 16. And while He yet spake
- 17. O was there ever loneliness like His!
- 18. Ye who sin and ye who sorrow
- 19. Then came Jesus forth from the judgement hall
- 20. The Saviour King goes forth to die
- 21. And when they had come to the place
- 22. Droop, sacred head
- 23. Rock of ages, cleft for me

I sang this Easter cantata at SBHS in San Bernardino,CA. I LOVE this cantata and remember Dutch out choir director and hours of practice ‼️ Beautiful memories 😊❤️
I sang it for 6 years as a boy at All Saints Episcopal Church in RVA. It was my favorite
So sorry to hear of the recent death of John Mitchinson.My late Father Frederick Harvey was the Baritone on this recording.I have happy memories of meeting John when very young and more recently when John was singing The Verdi Requiem.John and My Late Father made several recordings for BBC Transcription Services.John was a great guy and a wonderful Tenor .....John Harvey.
Sang this as a teenager in the Sandylands Methodist Church choir in Morecambe Lancs. circa 1965. Dentist Walter Briar on the pipe organ. The most awesome part about the whole thing was at the end. There was a heavy presence: a holy presence: a consuming presence that I knew was the Lord himself was there in our midst. It was like he gave us his seal of approval to all that was written & sung.
The church long since demolished but the memories remain of an evening blessed by the Lord himself.
I love this with all my soul. I bless God for his anointed composer and the inspirational choir that sang.
I loved singing this beautiful piece of music with the Fiji Arts Club Choir
So lovely and heart touching
Thank you for posting this. It is absolutely beautiful - at times, heart-breakingly so. It is tragic - almost criminally so - that this is so little-known. The same applies to Stainer's Crucifixion but it is even more true in this case.
Agreed. a beautiful piece.
The Choir of St Luke’s Queen’s Park, Brighton, sing a passion every year. This year they sung Stainers Crucifixion. I used to sing with them and loved singing Maunders Passion. Very fulfilling for a chorister.
Indeed I really love this book ...always listen to it
That was wonderful. One of my best memories from treble choir.
Magnificent! I listen each year whether from the UK or the US. Very moving.Thank you.
What a Wonderful Sounds!!
Thank you!
I have chosen the hymn at 23.06 for my funeral - beautiful words and harmony. Barry Rose once taught me as a chorister - too long ago!
Nothing like getting these things organised in advance!
Cherish your memories.....
Another justly esteemed recording from Barry Rose and his choir. (His performance, with - believe it or not - the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, of Elgar's Sursum Corda is definitely worth listening to.)
The quartet (O Thou Whose Sweet Compassion) is particularly beautifully sung here.
Superb posting, but I am horrified to find this piece of sacred music has been interspersed with advertising. It is NOT what I wanted on Good Friday. This criticism is not directed at ArchivesofSound, but at RUclips who think it is OK to do it. Shame on RUclips.
We agree, but it's the "price" we all have to pay for being allowed to put it on RUclips in the first place. There was a time when advertising was done merely by overlays, which were easily dismissed.
@@ArchivesofSound Thank you for your reply and, yes, modern commercial practice is omnipotent these days. To be honest, I have this very LP in my collection... somewhere! I saw it available on You Tube and took the lazy way out instead of looking for it. Thank you for taking the effort to reply ; it is much appreciated.
4:13 Like a fair vision
Absolutely cheesey, but I still love it to bits, as it brings back some happy memories.
Yes, indeed.
That's it in a nutshell! The hymn tunes are just marvellous. 'Just as I am' especially; it's very moving. Now I'm no musician, but I believe if you enter into the spirit and musical style of this cantata (and John Stainer's 'The Crucifixion' too) and allow it to do so, it will speak to you in its own particular way.
Thank you for sharing that thought. I'm more on RVW's wavelength, but there's never any harm in widening one's horizons. And Barry Rose's musical horizons have always been very wide, as this wonderful channel amply demonstrates!
I love it ! But can you put time stamps for each melody ?
The link in the video-description to the sheet-music doesn"t work anymore, the link supplied in the comments by Phil Kelley on the other hand is still active.
March 20th 2018 approaching 14.00 hours I'm giving this one a go see comment under Peaceful Man and wurlitzer895...
PS just now on my Recommendations section, ArchivesOfSound headed up ALL FIVE of the Mixes! Including My Mix, Barry Rose, Guildford Cathedral Choir and the two others (think it was Pettman and Purcell) What about that!
Was the soloist in "Just as I am" the late Clifford Mould? I always associate him with that wonderful arrangement of "See Amid The Winter's Snow"; he was the soloist in verse 3 as everyone knows!
And at 15.10 the jury is back...and yes it's a like! I can't say this is my favourite style but variety is the spice of life and it has got something so I have to give it the thumbs up.
It's perhaps not the greatest piece of music ever written, but you have to bear in mind that, at Guildford the greatest piece of music ever written was the one we were singing at that moment.
No, it was John Mitchinson - an interloper!
