Lenten Cantata
ITTLE is heard of Harold Moore, the composer of The Darkest Hour, a Lenten Cantata for choir and_ soloists. Written in the style of Stainer, it is suggestive of The Crucifixion. The Cantata is divided into
a prologue, four scenes, and an epliogue, and is scored for mixed choir with sequences for male voices. The two principal solo parts are Jesus (baritone) and the Narrator (mezzo-soprano). Other parts are Pilate (tenor), Caiaphas (bass) and a soprano soloist. The work portrays the Passion of Christ, from Gethsemane to the trials before Caiaphas and Pilate, and along the road to Calvary. The Cantata will be performed by the Choir of the Trinity Presbyterian Church, Nelson, on Tuesday, March 31, from 8.0 p.m., and will be broadcast by Station 2XN.
