The St
Matthew Passion (German: Matthäus-Passion), BWV 244, is a Passion, a sacred
oratorio written by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1727 for solo voices, double choir
and double orchestra, with libretto by Picander. It sets chapters 26 and 27 of
the Gospel of Matthew (in the Luther Bible) to music, with interspersed
chorales and arias. It is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of
classical sacred music. The original Latin title Passio Domini nostri J.C.
secundum Evangelistam Matthæum translates to "The Passion of our Lord
J[esus] C[hrist] according to the Evangelist Matthew".
