This link provides access to the updated 10/6/2024 mastered and restored version 2, which also separates the audio into numbers. (Original version 1 was released in 1/30/2023.) This is a restored and mastered digital version created from the 1959 monaural, private release LP record of this historic, nostalgic, amateur recording. The LP was created in 1959 by editing together the best of the two 1959 taped performances of The Crucifixion by the 3 AHS choirs. (It is 41 minutes long, and Lyrics are included as a Bonus.)
The 1959 private LP is the historic, amateur, monaural recording made of the Annapolis High School's choirs performances of The Crucifixion. The performances, the LP, and thus the 2023 and 2024 mastered and restored versions of the album, are unusual because the performances are mostly a choral arrangement. This distinctively different, more choral interpretation, was achieved by using 3 choirs:
The result is a very interesting, dramatically more choral interpretation of this classic Holy Week (the week before Easter) piece. (Note. The sound fidelity is limited by the late 1950's consumer quality tape recorder and mic used, and the school's Hammond electronic organ.)

Downloadable digital audio file of this hauntingly lovely ©1979 (2:50 minutes) song by Amanda McBroom.

Because this is the only Contemporary Christian song included on the album Hymns and Songs of My Mother, we decided to also make this 3:07 minute song explicitly available as an individual song for download for those who especially like CCM songs. This became a favorite of my mother when the author and composer, Kathy Brigman Haupt, the granddaughter of mother's sister, wrote and sang this song for the funeral of my mom's sister. Thank you to Kathy for giving permission for me to arrange and make the 1st recording of this song.
