St. Matthew Passion

Great choral masterpiece, long considered the noblest, most inspired musical treatment of the crucifixion of Christ, remains an immensely popular, oft-recorded work. Scored for a vast ensemble of double chorus, soloists, double orchestra, and two organs, the score appears here with bar-numbered movements and ample margins at the bottom of each page for notes and analysis. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall.
