Where it came from
The Johannes-Passion, or St John Passion, was originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1724 during his first year as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. It was designed as a dramatic musical setting of the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John, intended to be performed on Good Friday. The work is noted for its intense emotional urgency and complex contrapuntal structure, reflecting the liturgical and theological rigor of the period.
The 1920 edition published by Teatro Regio emerges from the tradition of European opera houses preserving and circulating significant sacred choral works for performance and study. This specific publication reflects an era when the performance practice of Bach’s works was transitioning toward larger orchestral settings, maintaining the intellectual legacy of the original manuscripts while adapting them for the formal musical institutions of the early 20th century.
