1 jan 1727 ano - St. Matthew Passion (BWV 244

Descrição:

a Passion or oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach.

This work is more contemplative than it is dramatic (compare to St. John Passion)

The Passion oratorios were written for church use, for Good Friday, in the 1720s.
a. They are semi-dramatic works with character roles, such as the Evangelist, and
the chorus often acts as the “crowd.”
b. Reflective arias interrupt the action (which takes place in recitatives).

The Passions are the closest pieces to opera that Bach wrote
