The St John Passion is a sacred oratorio composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Unlike the later and more massive St Matthew Passion, it presents a more direct and dramatic retelling of the Passion story from the Gospel of John. First performed on Good Friday in 1724 at the St. Nicholas Church in Leipzig, it is a profound work of liturgical music for soloists, double choir, and orchestra, featuring emotive arias, powerful chorales, and dramatic recitatives.
