The Great Passion: St. Matthew’s in English
Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion was originally written to be performed in the Good Friday Vespers liturgy. I did not know that there was an English version of the Passion until today! It’s available in either Apple Music or Spotify (just search for St. Matthew’s Passion; Jeffrey Skidmore). And if you’d like to learn a bit more about the Passion, here’s a fine article.

I performed it in English at Bronxville. I listen to the recording every year during Lent. It was a beast to perform, but it inspires me every time I listen to it,
Nice, Alan. I’ve never got to sing it. But I try to listen to oit each year.
