Question
This work opens with a stepwise theme that begins [read slowly] E, F-sharp, G, F-sharp, G-sharp, A, G-sharp. That theme is sung by the first basses in the first choral statement of this work, which is initially harmonized with an E minor arpeggiation in the first sopranos. Chaos and unrest in this work is represented by a triple forte diminished chord on the word ‘Barrabam!’. Strings almost always accompany one character in a so-called (*) “halo effect” in this work, which includes the aria “Erbarme dich.” A 1829 performance of this work at the Berlin Singakademie, which sparked the beginning of its composer’s mid-nineteenth century ‘Revival’, was led by Felix Mendelssohn. For 10 points, name this sacred choral work for two orchestras and choirs by Johann Sebastian Bach, which is contrasted with his St. John Passion. ■END■
