DESCRIPTION:Bob Chilcott's St John Passion tells the story of Christ's tri
 al and crucifixion through words drawn from St John's Gospel\, interwoven 
 with English poetry from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Like Bach's great
  Passion settings\, the role of the Evangelist is taken by a tenor soloist
 \, whose arioso narrative drives the drama forward\, while the words of Je
 sus and Pilate are sung by solo baritones. Oxford University Press The cho
 ir moves between the baying crowd\, the soldiers\, and moments of deep con
 templation — with four meditations offering space for reflection on the 
 human cost of the story. Hyperion Records Familiar hymn texts — among th
 em Drop\, Drop\, Slow Tears\, There is a Green Hill\, and When I Survey th
 e Wondrous Cross — are set to new melodies\, designed so that the congre
 gation can join in.  Chilcott's aim throughout is to communicate: to give 
 listeners space for reflection through the combination of narrative\, poet
 ry\, and song — dramatic\, but never without hope. \n\nThe Holy Trinity 
 Choir sing this powerful work on Good Friday\, 7pm — all are welcome.
