Year: 2004
Type: Festival Prelude
Composer: James Curnow
Program Notes:
Based on the hymn tune “Crucifer” composed by Sydney Hugo Nicholson (England 1875-1947), who is best remembered as the editor of Hymns Ancient and Modern, and the stately text of George W. Kitchin (England 1827-1912) and Michael R. Newbolt (England 1874-1956), this fanfare and theme setting was created to capture the inspirational scripture upon which the text is based: “I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” (John 12:32)
