The Passion story has always fascinated and influenced composers. Countless works have been created that tell the story of Judas' betrayal, Jesus' capture, the interrogation before Pilate and the crucifixion of Jesus. And at the end, there is the certainty of faith, which is expressed in comforting words in the St. John Passion: "Rest well, you holy bones, which I now no longer mourn, rest well and bring me also to rest".
