According to the obituary written by his son Carl Philip Emmanuel and his former pupil Johann Friedrich Agricola, Johann Sebastian Bach composed five Passions, including “one for two choirs” (the St Matthew Passion). However, only two of them have survived in their entirety. A third one, the St Mark Passion, has given rise to various reconstructions, and the last two, if they at all existed, are irretrievably lost. Of the two Passions that have come down to us, the St John Passion was the first to be composed; Bach had it performed for the first time in the St Nicholas Church less than a year after taking up his post in Leipzig, on 7 April 1724 (he had taken the liberty of announcing it to the St Thomas Church, which earned him a reprimand; he got away with a somewhat ironic letter of apology). The work was again performed the following year, this time at St Thomas’, and most likely on further occasions in 1732, 1739 and 1749, with various revisions.
A musical account of Christ’s crucifixion can be traced back to the Middle Ages, but in the early eighteenth century, the narrative took on an oratorio-like form that one finds with most composers of Bach’s generation. It was a kind of apotheosis of music dedicated to liturgical services. Bach had planned three complete cantata cycles culminating with the performance of three Passions during the Lenten period on Good Friday. He conducted 26 of them during his 28-year tenure, repeating his own cantatas on several occasions and introducing those of other composers such as Telemann, Handel and Keiser.
The texts of the Passions associated biblical sources with derived poetic elaborations, such as Barthold Heinrich Brockes’ writings, which inspired several composers; paraphrases thereof are to be found in the St John Passion. These texts were strictly controlled, and Bach had problems with the Consistory in this respect. This might explain why he deleted, among others, the opening chorus, the concluding chorale (“Ach Herr, lass dein lieb Engelein”) and the tenor aria “Ach, mein Sinn” in the 1725 revival of the work. There were further problems with the 1739 revival, and Bach did not revert to the original version’s libretto until 1749, a year before his death. It is unknown whether this was in agreement with the Consistory or a gesture of defiance (but changes sometimes resulted from practical problems related to available performers). The name of the librettist who assembled the St John Passion’s texts is unknown: it was probably Bach himself, in collaboration with an assistant.
The Passion was bound to the service: after the ringing of the bells and a sung motet, its first part was performed, followed by a long sermon; then came the second part of the Passion. The service could last four to five hours; it ended with a motet, a sung verse, an oration and a final chorale. John’s account, which Luther considered the best of the four gospels, is narrated by a tenor voice in secco recitatives (accompanied only by the continuo): this is the voice of the Evangelist; those of the Christ, the apostle Peter and Pontius Pilate, as well as the crowd (known as the “turba”), are inserted in the narration.
