Programme Note
For Easter this year we will be performing John Henry Maunder's sacred cantata Olivet to Calvary on Good Friday in Hailsham Parish Church at 7.00pm
Admission is free, with a voluntary retiring collection to help cover costs.
Olivet to Calvary is a deeply felt religious work which tells the events leading up to the crucifixion. One of Maunder's many admirers wrote the following:
“The music of Maunder is always well written and thoroughly musical and devotional in feeling, and yet it is always easy to sing. Any amateur parish choir can attempt it, and yet it is worth the attention of even the best choral organizations. There is always a fresh and apparently inexhaustible flow of melodic ideas and the harmonic fabric is always full of interest and color and yet never unduly complicated.”
