The opening chorus to J.S Bach’s St John Passion, “Herr, unser Herrscher”. Here one can discover Bach’s true genius with harmony and suspension in one of his most stirring vocal works.
St John Passion, along with St Matthew Passion were both written during Bach’s time as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, as Passion music for Good Friday. In total Bach wrote 5 Passions that survive today.

The audio for this was taken from the Bach Collegium Japan, with conductor Masaaki Suzuki.
