Stainer -- God So Loved The World

This is my piano version of the well-known a capella chorus from Stainer's cantata "The Crucifixion."

I like this, well played. Your transcription leaves in all those fabulous alto and tenor line suspensions the middle parts in choirs just love in thes piece. I also like the way you enhance the basswith those great bottom Ds. Lovely, a good posting.

@longeaton34 Thanks. I look back on this now, and I'm impressed with the musicality of this recording. There's a sensitivity in my playing, and an attentiveness to detail that -- it seems to me -- have been absent in my more recent playing. I'd love to get back to this caliber of musicianship again.

That being said, my tempos swing rather widely in this rendition. :)

Cheers,

Bruce

Very nice interpitation of this beautiful piece. I have sung this so many times!

Have you ever given playing a pipe organ a try?

[bdouvill]

I certainly have, but I'm really more of a pianist. Of course, I love the sound of a pipe organ when it's played by a real master.

Cheers,

Bruce

Very very good!

Reminds me of my days as a choir boy!

Great sensitivity. Bravo.

Stainer is so underrated. This just goes to show what a genius he was. And what a fantastic piano rendition. Any chance of adding some more piano versions from The Crucifixion?

misssssssblue444-

There is a new posting of this sung by a choir:

"Stainer: "God so Loved the World" from The Crucifixion"

But, unfortunatly, the choir sings it a bit flat. :-(
