Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion is a monumental oratorio depicting the Passion of Jesus as told in the Gospel of John. Composed for the Good Friday vespers service in 1724, it features expressive recitatives, intricate choruses, and profound arias. Unlike the more narrative St Matthew Passion, the St John Passion is known for its dramatic intensity and stark emotional contrasts.
