About Crucifixus

As part of the liturgy of Palm Sunday, in the Church of England, the congregation join in with the reading of the Passion, taking the part of ‘the crowd.’ It was the congregation’s shouts of ‘crucify him’ from this year’s service that acted as a catalyst for this setting of Crucifixus.
