Where it came from
Arthur Mendel's 1974 edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Johannes-Passion was published by Bärenreiter as part of the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, a comprehensive scholarly effort to establish definitive Urtext editions of Bach's complete works. Commissioned by the Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Institut Göttingen and the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, this series sought to move beyond the inaccuracies of 19th-century publications by returning strictly to original manuscripts and primary sources. Mendel, a distinguished musicologist, provided the critical commentary and editing, focusing on the historical performance practices and structural integrity of the work.
The design of this Bärenreiter edition reflects the rigorous standards of the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, prioritizing clarity and scholarly accuracy for performers and researchers alike. By providing a clean, source-based musical text stripped of subjective editorial markings, the publication was received by the academic and professional musical communities as a gold standard for study and public performance. It remains a foundational text in choral literature, valued for its commitment to the composer's original intent.
