The L
ord be with you
I don’t know how many of you listen to the UD radio station (wrti.org) but you might want to check it out tomorrow (Good Friday) at noon. They will be broadcasting Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion. Below is their announcement concerning this event.
Good Friday on WRTI: J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion at Noon
Widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical sacred music, the St. Matthew Passion is an oratorio written by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1727 for solo voices, double choir and double orchestra, with libretto by Picander (Christian Friedrich Henrici). It sets chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of Matthew (in the German translation of Martin Luther) to music, with interspersed chorales and arias.
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Rickert
