Chorus Director

The re-enactment of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ at Easter has always been an occasion for a special musical arrangement. In Leipzig, too, Johann Sebastian Bach, who as the newly appointed "Director of Music" was officially responsible for the music in the city's churches, was expected to come up with something for this purpose. Bach fulfilled this task at his very first Easter in his new position: with the performance of his setting of the Passion story based on the words of the Gospel of John on Good Friday of 1724.
