Stainer’s oratorio The Crucifixion was written in 1887 for use by choirs of average ability.
Don Carlo Gesualdo was an Italian nobleman who was also a brilliant composer, lutenist
and murderer. BWV 650 is one of six chorale preludes Bach transcribed from cantata
movements. Johann Georg Schubler published them in 1748 an event which was unusual
for Herr Bach as most of his cantatas were never published within his lifetime.

French composer Pierre Villette studied with Maurice Durufle. Hungarian
composer Franz Liszt’s oratorio Christus runs about three hours in length.
Hopefully the Pater Noster will whet your appetite to listen to the entire oratorio
on Spotify. The American organ building firm of C.B. Fisk hails from Gloucester,
Massachusetts and is considered one of the finest builders in business today.

Praise the Lord is the final chorus from Handel’s oratorio Solomon which
was first performed in March 1749. English composer Herbert Howells wrote
his setting of the morning canticles entitled Collegium Regale for King’s College,
Cambridge. I searched everywhere for information on the Russian composer
Georgy Riutov (1873-1938). Let me know if you find anything on him.

I thought it would be interesting to present the distinguished church musician
Dr. John Scott in two of his major roles this morning. Earlier we heard him directing
the choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London where he was director of music from 1990-2004.
Now we hear him conducting the choir of St. Thomas’ Church, New York, where he has been
since 2004. New Zealand-born Nigel Potts is Organist & Choirmaster of Christ & Saint Stephen’s
Episcopal Church in New York.

Simon Crouch thinks highly of the tenor aria in this cantata which was written
for the third Sunday after the Epiphany.

Reger’s Fantasy and Fugue on the Name of Bach is a dazzling tour de force for a
virtuoso organist such as Lionel Rogg.

Apparently Beethoven wrote this oratorio in a few weeks in 1802. It is a fine work which
is not performed much these days.
