Overview
Johann Sebastian Bach's La Pasión según san Mateo (BWV 244) is a sacred oratorio for soloists, two choirs and two orchestras, based on chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of Matthew.
La Pasión según san Mateo (Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244) is a work by Johann Sebastian Bach with a libretto by Picander, premiered in Leipzig in 1727. It is written for two choirs and two orchestras and tells the Passion of Christ using the text of the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 26 and 27, in Luther's translation.
It alternates the recitatives of the Evangelist and of the characters, the arias of soloists and the Lutheran chorales, which serve as moments of collective reflection. Its two-part structure, designed for Good Friday, places it within the sacred repertoire of the Baroque. It is one of Bach's best-known choral works.
The Palau de la Música Catalana, a modernista building by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, built between 1905 and 1908 and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997, hosts exhibitions and cultural activities. This offering is aimed at those seeking Bach's choral and sacred repertoire.
