Since its composition and first performance in 1724, Bach's St. John Passion has captured the spiritual and musical attention of musicians, audiences, and congregations. This book examines this monumental work from a twenty-first century perspective, providing a new and comprehensive examination of the music and libretto. Michael Fuchs and Bradley Jenson explore the historical context of the work as well as its performance history and practice. They address important questions regarding the Gospel of John, Martin Luther's theology, and anti-Judaism and antisemitism in the libretto. Combining expert theological and musical analysis, as well as a new English translation, this book is a useful resource for students, musicians, and scholars while being accessible to general audiences with a strong interest in the music of J.S. Bach, highlighting the composer's compositional creativity.
