This training aid set comprises all the sections in Bach's St. John Passion (Passionmusik nach dem Evangelisten Johannes). Both choir and solo parts are provided. The choir aids have the vocal part highlighted on piano, and the solo's are highlighted on a wind instrument. There are also recordings that have little or no help, so as to develop confidence further. Please scroll down to review our demosnstration samples for this work at the foot of this page.
There
are many ways this work can be delivered, some holding on to the
fermatas in the chorales others not. We have created our training
recordings modeled on Karl Richter's recording for Deutsche Grammophon,
and to a lesser extent that of The Scholars Baroque Ensemble recording
by Naxos
