I for one, simply cannot get "Cross of Jesus" from Stainer's oratorio "The 
Crucifixion" out of my head. (Which is sheer torture considering I'm an 
American, a Pagan and really don't care for church music of any period much 
after Bach's attempt at a Baroque revival.) Your Sir John Stainer was a 
sheer musical Genius!
