Charles Wood: My God, I love thee (from the St Mark Passion) - arr Indra Hughes

a take from an unreleased recording session made in St Michael's Church, Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand on 20 April 2005
Musica Sacra
Sue Maiden, soprano
Indra Hughes, conductor
This beautiful setting of the hymn "My God, I love thee", using Tallis's "First Mode Melody", is from the middle of Wood's St Mark Passion. So as to be able to perform it with unaccompanied choir, Indra Hughes arranged the second verse's organ part for voices.

I shall always treasure the memory of singing this as a choirboy. The Lord used it to awaken in me a love for the Saviour which has never departed in over seventy years.
