johann sebastian bach – matthäus-passion bwv 244 lyrics
the st. matthew p-ssion is a work very different in character from its extant predecessor, the st. john p-ssion: the former is deeply devotional, introspective, and meditative in character, while the latter is more intensely dramatic, with more action in its narrative. the st. matthew p-ssion is often compared with bach’s monumental m-ss in b minor in terms of both scope and piety. performed at st. thomas’ church in leipzig, the work sets a text by christian picander (who may have been the author of a hypothetical, now-lost 1725 bach p-ssion). another significant difference between the st. john and st. matthew works lies in their respective texts: the st. john text is very short, beginning with judas’ betrayal of christ, and focusing on christ’s trial before pilate; the st. matthew text, on the other hand, is very long, containing almost twice as many verses as the st. john text
