- The fifth part of the Sir John Stainer's The Crucifixion which is the Chorus and Tenor Solo the 'Procession to Calvary (Fling wide the Gates)'.
Sung by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge
The tenor soloist in this is fabulous. Buy that man a beer
I sang this in my school choir at Winchester Cathederal when I was 12 and have never forgotten the uplifting experience
I have never sung this part as a choir boy/man. However, I like it so much that at any time I play the music (in a CD recorded by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir, under the direction of Dr. John Scott), I am never done playing it once! A beautiful Sir John Stainer!
+Abayomi Odunuga Scott wasn't a Doctor
+Abayomi Odunuga He was FRCO and LVO
First heard this in Evensong today, what a stunning piece!
The St Andrew's Cathedral Choir (Sydney, NSW) sang this as part of the Palm Sunday service today. Magnificent
Beautiful peace, can't wait to perform it.
Simply beautiful!
Beautiful!
GREAT PART OF THE CRUCIFIXION SUNG VERY NICELY BY THIS GREAT CHOIR.
Very very beautiful
what's a beautiful piece. I would like to sing it in my choir if Mary Lu wants it, I can not wait.
Lovely
In addition to FRCO and LVO, John Scott was awarded in 2007 an honorary doctorate from Nashotah House Seminary in Wisconsin.
This song it's mwaaaaah
I sung this last year it was awesome thanks again for posting these
So helpful when you are trying to learn without a piano nearby! thank you
Love it! Thanks for uploading :)
Good Friday 6.30pm performance at st marylebone church london
fling wide the gates scrumdumtiously!
Shortly after a rehearsal of this, someone in the choir was heard singing:
Bring me the cakes! Bring me the cakes! The chocolate cakes!
Bring me the cakes, for my stomach aches
To be fed with the biscuit base.
They have come from the shop with the cream on top
To allow me to stuff my face.
Rutter's "Gaelic Blessing" was always re-titled "Garlic Dressing" whenever we sang it... there are lots of hungry choirs out there, it seems!
@AndyFisher142 The original score is public domain. There is sheet music you can google and download. There are many good professional recordings downloadable at very reasonable prices. I got one with the BBC Chorus which is superb for less than $10 from Amazon
One of my favourites.
Should that read the 'Procession to Calvary" :-)
I was so young but I did this at Canterbury - 1969
Dollars to cents the tenor soloist is James Gilchrist.
great! I remember singing this one at church presentation!
I wish the director had made more of those rallentandos. And why not carry over "waits" with the dotted rhythm?
Which edition is this? The E-flat in the tenor at 0.55 is surely a spelling mistake for a D-sharp?
@luke oreilly Perhaps they are the same on the piano, or for someone working in equal temperament; and for to someone who reads music simply as a code for individual sounds like a computer it wouldn't make any difference; but from the context there's a tonal function, and the two spellings suggest different things - it's a simple spelling mistake, which any good editor would amend.
I can accept that for some people it doesn't matter... but I resent being told 'not to be so picky' as if high standards of presentation are something that doesn't matter.
Something for you to ponder:
A night road honour hoarse.
Nice one
thanks...easy words...
The wrong note sung at 5:27 (E to F) is actually better than what's written (staying on E)

Thanks for uploading! But please change 'Cavalry' into 'Calvary' :)
It's a little slow compared to our rendition. Not quite "pomposso".
I'm sorry to say this but it was very hard not to fall on the floor laughing with the fling wide the gates portion. I would hate to have to sing it.
Decent tenor soloist. Rest nothing special.
good voices though^
The choir does a great job of shaping his phrases and putting energy where it needs to go. The only thing I would change about this is that they supported more on the rising motif, instead of simply punching it with their breath. Tenor soloist needs to position his passagio better and work on healthy engagement, as his whole range had suffered from tension and I suspect too much breath pressure.
@@ninjaassassin27The tenor soloist is James Gilchrist, i think he knows what he’s doing
@@wockeyfilm at 4:52, you can hear a bit of what i'm addressing; at the peak of his phrase, you can hear the warbling of a heavy laryngeal vibrato. He tries to compensate by pushing harder on the F, but it still sounds forced. If his passagio had been properly positioned, the tone wouldn't sound choked. Singing phrases like this can cause damage to the voice.
You might be surprised at how many popular singers are actually not using great technique. I can count on one hand the number of singers i've met using good technique.
