Welcome to the Goethe Choir's special performance of The Crucifixion by John Stainer! Join us at St. Ann's Church of Ireland for an unforgettable afternoon of beautiful music with soloists Conor Prendiville (Tenor) and Gyula Nagy (Bass), ably supported by Charles Marshall (Organ). The Crucifixion is an oratorio retelling the passion of Christ through music. Experience this renowned piece in person, surrounded by the stunning architecture and acoustics of the church. John Stainer (1840-1901) was born in Southwark and entered the world of church music as a boy chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral. After some time at Tenbury and Magdalen College, Oxford he returned to St Paul’s Cathedral in 1872 as organist. There he raised standards and overhauled many of the traditions around choral music and liturgy. Throughout the latter decades of his career Stainer was endowed with a host of honorary teaching, adjudication and leadership positions. His music education advocacy and academic achievements were significant; he published treatises on music theory and organ technique and was a trailblazer in the study of Medieval and Renaissance music. During his retirement years, Stainer enjoyed travelling to the warmer climes of Italy. He died in Verona on Palm Sunday in 1901. Although Stainer’s compositional output was extensive, the oratorio The Crucifixion has become his single most enduring legacy. In the tradition of the masterpiece passion settings by Johann Sebastian Bach, Stainer’s work portrays the events leading to Christ’s death on the cross. Stainer had encountered Bach’s passions as a chorister, singing at the first English-language performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion was he was fourteen. When he came to compose his own passion oratorio at the height of his career in 1887, Stainer drew on many of the elements that make Bach’s music so powerful: narrative delivered through solo arias and recitatives, interspersed with choral reflections, rousing crowd scenes and accessible congregational singing. The libretto was by William John Sparrow Simpson (1859-1953), an Anglican priest and writer. It brings together passages from all four gospels, as well as texts from Philippians and Lamentations. A great achievement of the work lies in its passages of meditative simplicity. The centerpiece unaccompanied chorus God So Loved the World is a sublime movement of outstandingly beautiful simplicity. Other examples include the tenderly uttered unison refrain of the second hymn, “Crucified, I turn to thee, Son of Mary, plead for me,” and the evocative tenor and bass chorus which depicts Jesus’ seven last words from the cross. Don't miss this opportunity to be moved by the incredible voices of the choir as they bring this classic masterpiece to life. Reserve your spot now for an afternoon of inspiration and harmony!

St. Mizan&#39;s Church is an old church in Dublin, first built in the late 11th century, the existing church was built in 1686. The history of the church is quite interesting. The church was first built in 1095 and was built by the Vikings who stayed in Ireland. The church was rebuilt in the 17th century, and in 1724 a huge organ was installed, where Handel&#39;s famous Messiah was said to have played for the first time. But the church&#39;s most fascinating was the dozens of mummies in the basement. The mummified remains were initially stored in a wooden coffin, but over time the coffin gradually decayed and the body that had been air-dried inside revealed itself. Six of the coffins were completely decayed, so the mummies inside were completely exposed to the view, and two of them are now open to the public. The most notable of the basements is a separate display of coffins, known to their owners as the Crusaders. The crusader was so tall, his hands stretched upwards from the coffin that visitors could shake hands with the 800-year-old mummy and touch it today.

It was very good. I drank a pint of beer on the top floor without even paying for peanuts. It was different from the previous brewery tour in Boston, except that I could enter the workshop.

Dublin&#39;s most worth visiting attractions, there are three worth seeing: First, the Kyle Sutra, it is a national treasure of Ireland, but must listen to the voice explanation, otherwise you can&#39;t understand the preciousness of this book; The second is the library corridor, which is the location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very simple and distinctive; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting. The small disadvantage is that the price of Trip.com is slightly more expensive than the local fare, and the price is not very high.

Dublin Castle has some long royal history, and the attractions are very good and worth a visit. On-site tickets only sell 8 euros (60 years old and 6 euros). Trip.com over 60 years old tickets cost 160 yuan, which is 3 times the scene. Too expensive! ! ! Affected my high trust and goodwill for Trip.com ! ! !

Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
