Edwardian Anglican church. Considered by some to be over sentimental by modern tastes, it contains a sincerity and dedication which, despite being a definite product of its time, has carried the piece through to the modern era. Its popularity is in part due to its simplicity, needing only organ, choir, bass and tenor soloists (some editions include Soprano solo for the final aria), it is a work which can be performed by the smallest choirs. Described as a sacred cantata, Olivet to Calvary recalls the scenes which mark the last few days of Christ's passion. Part 1 starts with Christ's jubilant journey to Jerusalem and ends with the scene on the Mount of Olives. Part 2 begins with the Feast of Passover with Christ's commandment to his disciples to 'Love one Another' and ends with the Crucifixion at Calvary. It is interspersed with congregational hymns which reflect on the scenes. ‘While a slight and somewhat outdated work, Olivet to Calvary, like Stainer's more substantial Crucifixion, rewards sincere performance.’ List of works ANTHEMS Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
