Bach’s St. Matthew Passion as we know it today evidently had a long history dating back before 1727. It is unclear whether the work performed at the Thomaskirche , Leipzig on Good Friday 1729 was based on a still earlier version. Whatever the case, the surviving version of 1729 presents the work in a form strikingly different from its later incarnation. For example, the opening section ends with the chorale ‘ Jesum lass ich nicht von mir ’ which was replaced by the large-scale cantus firmus chorus ‘O Mensch , bewein dein Sünde gross’ for the 1736 performance.

The well-known alto aria ‘Ach! Nun ist mein Jesus hin ’ is still assigned to a bass in the earlier version, and the aria ‘ Komm süsses Kreuz ’ calls for a lute instead of the later viola da gamba . Moreover, the pieces for double chorus only require a single continuo group. Other differences can be found in the instrumental scoring and voice leading. The early version of the St. Matthew Passion is thus a most interesting addition to the great concert repertoire.

  • BA 5038-90 replaces the previous vocal score but retains its longstanding article number.
  • The pagination has been adopted from the previous edition.
  • This means that you can rehearse and perform this work with some singers using this new edition and some the old Bärenreiter edition.
  • The vocal score is fully compatible with all existing performance material (BA 5038).
  • The vocal score now contains a revised piano reduction. The reliable Alfred Dürr piano reduction has been maintained but it has been revised and uncluttered; it is now easier to read and to play.
  • The text appears in slightly larger type size and a more legible font.
  • A more exact placing of underlaid words has been included in the vocal parts.
  • Apart from corrections, the musical text remains unchanged.
  • The recommended retail price remains unchanged.
