| Summary: | One of the most moving of all the musical settings for the Passion of Christ, Bach's St. John Passion was first performed in Leipzig on Good Friday, 1723. This majestic oratorio underwent several major transformations before it assumed the final form we know today. Contemplative reflections in freely composed verse and highly expressive chorales intersperse the narrative to comment poignantly and powerfully on events as they unfold. One of the most frequently performed of all religious choral works, this great masterpiece is reprinted here from the edition originally published in 1863 by Breitkopf and Hartel. The work appears in full score, with bar-numbered movements for easy reference |
