Bach’s “St. John Passion” (BWV 245) is a profound oratorio composed in 1724. It dramatizes the events of Christ’s crucifixion, blending chorales, recitatives, arias, and choruses. Known for its emotional depth and intricate musical architecture, the work vividly portrays the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John. Bach’s masterful use of vocal and instrumental forces creates a powerful spiritual and dramatic experience, making the “St. John Passion” a cornerstone of the choral and sacred music repertoire.
