Description:
Experience Heinrich Schütz's masterly "St. Matthew Passion" SWV 479 in an authoritative Urtext edition published by the renowned Bärenreiter Verlag. This deeply moving late masterpiece of sacred vocal music captivates through its meditative purity and dramatic intensity: performed entirely a cappella, the Passion narrative unfolds in a poignant dialogue between solo voices (tenor as the Evangelist, bass as Jesus, alongside soloists from the ensemble) and the four-part mixed choir (SATB).
Based on the scholarly Urtext of the New Schütz Edition, this full score provides ensembles and choral conductors with supreme textual fidelity and exceptional readability. An essential masterpiece for the Passion season that will captivate performers and audiences alike.
