The Story of the Crucifixion (1905)
This mini-cantata, a Lenten devotion, has words by the Reverend Thomas Blackburn (Rector of Woodville, Adelaide, Southern Australia). Unlike the longer works there are no congregation hymns - it consists of short choruses interspersed with solos and is only 16 pages long. In the publicity blurb it was described as: 'although more pretentious than The Story of the Cross, contains no difficulties an average choir cannot easily overcome'.

An interesting detail on our copies of The Story of the Crucifixion is a hand overstamp above the publisher's name (Weekes), saying CALEB SIMPER, Kilbirnie, BARNSTAPLE - this may indicate that our copies were obtained directly from Simper.
