Passion according to St. Matthew
Incorporating Music by Johann Sebastian Bach BR-CPEB Dp 4.1, 1769
Vol. IV, 4 of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Edition, edited by the Packard Humanities Institute
The series of C.P.E. Bach’s 21 Hamburg Passions begins with an exceptional work. No other Passion of Bach’s is as unusually ambitious as his first work in this genre; and none of his other Passions has such a high proportion of original compositions by C.P.E. Bach himself; only the chorales and a few turba choruses were written by his father. The only Passion by Bach’s son, his setting of the Matthew Passion of 1769 is a full-length work.

Composer
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
| 1714-1788Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) was an extremely prolific composer who enjoyed a high reputation during his lifetime with the result that his music became known far and wide. The early works were influenced by the Berlin School. In his later works, however, this composer developed a thoroughly individual style, independent of contemporary fashions, which is to be found especially in the sacred vocal works written during his years as Director of Music in Hamburg (1768–1788).
