The St Matthew Passion (Passio secundum Matthaeum, BWV 244) for solo voices, soprano in ripieni, double choir and double orchestra is Bach’s largest ensemble work, but at a length of around three hours, it’s also his longest. This monumental piece not only perpetuated the tradition of Good Friday passion plays, but also expanded the possibilities of the genre – something that induced Bach’s wife Anna Magdalena to describe it simply as the ‘Great Passion’.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) composed the St Matthew Passion for Good Friday 1727. It received its premiere at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Bach revised the original scoring in 1736, producing a version since regarded as the definitive one. It was Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 – 1847) who rediscovered the St Matthew Passion more than 100 years later, arranging its performance at the Berliner Singakademie in 1829. The major Bach composition was significantly reworked in accordance with contemporary tastes. Mendelssohn’s performance ushered in a veritable Bach Renaissance.
Christian Friedrich Henrici (1700 – 1764), Bach’s Leipzig librettist, who worked under the pseudonym Picander, was responsible for writing the words for the St Matthew Passion. It is viewed as his most successful sacred poetry. The libretto presents a dialog between the Daughter of Zion and the faithful souls, which may have been the reason why Bach opted for a double choir and orchestra. This interplay creates - in both the libretto and the music – an exuberant Baroque outpouring that nevertheless maintains uniformity.
