The St. Matthew Passion was written for two separate Choirs, accompanied by two small Orchestras. In most Arias, only one Orchestra provides accompaniment. The Choirs are sometimes separated, but more often sing in unison or antiphony – moving the story forward and also providing commentary on the events. At different times, the Choruses appear as an unruly mob, or quiet witnesses, or actual participants in the story.
Originally composed in Bach’s native tongue, German, the Tahoe Symphony will perform Part Two of Passion in English to honor legacy while bringing the Passion story to life for a broader audience.
