I set aside some time this Good Friday to listen to the complete St. John Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Besides being fitting music for that day of the Holy Week, this year Marks the 300th anniversary of the work. In Christian music, a Passion is a setting of the Passion of Christ (i.e. the short final period before the death of Jesus, described in the four canonical gospels and commemorated in Christianity every year during Holy Week).
