Matthäuspassion


Music by
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Libretto [in German] by Christian Friedrich Henrici (1700-1764)

Matthäuspassion is my favorite sacred music. Such an inspiring work! This clip shows the opening chorus, Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir Klagen, which begins the first part of the work referring to events and words found in Matthew 26:1-13.
