Description: One of the rare large-scale works of this type to appear in the English sacred repertoire, Wood's Passion dates from 1920 and follows Bach's example: where the latter interspersed Lutheran chorales among his biblical texts, Wood uses well-known English hymns, which led to the work's great success. Texts included. Simon Wall (tenor), James Birchall (baritone), Edward Grint (bass), Ruth Jenkins (soprano), Jonathan Vaughan (organ), The Choir of Jesus College, Cambridge; Daniel Hyde.
