Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract What should we make of the 18th-century practice of reworking passion settings for performances in various times and places? In Bach's time passion settings were freely adapted to local needs. This practice is well-documented in an anonymous St. Mark Passion that Bach performed (in several different versions) throughout his career, a work which also saw adapted performances in other places as well.
