🖋 About the Composer: Sir John Stainer (6 June 1840 – 31 March 1901) was an English composer and organist. Though his music is seldom performed today, it was very popular during his lifetime. One of his most well-known works is “The Crucifixion”, which is still heard at Passiontide in some Anglican churches.

Born in Southwark, London, Stainer became a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral at ten and was appointed organist at St Michael’s College, Tenbury, at sixteen. He later became organist at Magdalen College, Oxford, and St Paul’s Cathedral. After retiring due to poor health, he became Professor of Music at Oxford. Stainer’s contributions to Anglican church music and the study of Medieval and Renaissance music are particularly noteworthy.
