Matthäuspassion, BWV 244 (St. Matthew Passion) <1729>
double chorus solos SATBB semi-chorus of sopranos (boys)
Specific information available for subscribers.
Double chorus & double orchestra.
Numerous smaller solo parts may be taken by members of the chorus.
Recorders in one movement only; probably the 2 recorder parts were originally intended for 6 players or so, perhaps covered by some of the violinists not otherwise occupied in that particular movement.
1 viola da gamba will suffice, though score calls for 1 in each orchestra.
Bärenreiter ed. Alfred Durr & Max Schneider.
