Drawing deeply on the traditions of baroque Passion settings as well as such works as Stainer’s The Crucifixion and Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary, Passiontide is a masterpiece which, if there is any justice in the world, will be widely sung, to be appreciated by choirs and audiences/congregations alike.
Premiered in Kent in 2009, Passiontide was conceived as an alternative to Stainer’s Crucifixion, telling the story of Holy Week in the manner of a small oratorio and including several hymns for choir and audience in a nod to the earlier composer’s well-known choral work. Simon Mold has compiled an eclectic libretto that combines some quirky 17th-century metrical Gospel narrative with a variety of choral and solo reflections; the result is a strikingly accessible work that explores a range of emotions with a sure feel for word-setting and an irrepressible tunefulness, while nonetheless capable of many passages of gravitas, poignancy and lingering beauty.
