St. Matthew Passion BWV 244 巴赫约翰瑟巴斯提安 圣马太受难曲 骑熊士版

我们今天所知的巴赫的《圣马太受难曲》显然有着悠久的历史，可以追溯到 1727 年之前。目前尚不清楚 1729 年耶稣受难日在莱比锡托马斯教堂上演的作品是否基于更早的版本。无论如何，现存的 1729 年版本呈现出的作品形式与后来的版本截然不同。例如，开头部分以 "Jesum lass ich nicht von mir "合唱结束，而在 1736 年的演出中，这首合唱被大合唱 "O Mensch , bewein dein Sünde gross "所取代

原文简介:
Bach’s St. Matthew Passion as we know it today evidently had a long history dating back before 1727. It is unclear whether the work performed at the Thomaskirche , Leipzig on Good Friday 1729 was based on a still earlier version. Whatever the case, the surviving version of 1729 presents the work in a form strikingly different from its later incarnation. For example, the opening section ends with the chorale ‘ Jesum lass ich nicht von mir ’ which was replaced by the large-scale cantus firmus chorus ‘O Mensch , bewein dein Sünde gross’ for the 1736 performance.

The well-known alto aria ‘Ach! Nun ist mein Jesus hin ’ is still assigned to a bass in the earlier version, and the aria ‘ Komm süsses Kreuz ’ calls for a lute instead of the later viola da gamba . Moreover, the pieces for double chorus only require a single continuo group. Other differences can be found in the instrumental scoring and voice leading. The early version of the St. Matthew Passion is thus a most interesting addition to the great concert repertoire.
