Imagine St. Matthew Passion as a sacred musical masterpiece—one of the most profound expressions of Christ’s Passion ever composed.From the very first chorus Bach draws us into the suffering of Christ with haunting beauty. The Evangelist serves as the storyteller, guiding us through the Gospel narrative, while Jesus’ words are set apart with a halo of glowing strings, emphasizing his divine presence.
The chorus takes on many roles—at times the angry crowd shouting “Crucify him!”, at others the faithful soul reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice. The arias become deeply personal prayers, like "Have mercy, Lord, on me", which echoes Peter’s heartbreak after denying Christ.
Every note in St. Matthew Passion is a meditation on Christ’s suffering and love, inviting us to enter into the Passion story not just as listeners, but as participants in a deeply spiritual journey. The final chorus, “Here bide we still with tears and weeping”, leaves us in quiet contemplation, much like the sorrow of Good Friday, yet with a sense of hope in the coming Resurrection.
