    ​

    Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote a different setting of the Passion of Christ for twenty-one consecutive years. They represent the final stage of a long tradition of oratorio Passions in Hamburg.

     

    This setting sees C.P.E. Bach borrowing music from Georg Philipp Telemann, Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, Gottfried August Homilius and even pinching the final chorus 'Ruht wohl' from his father, Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion BWV 245.
