This setting of the St. John Passion for Good Friday pairs the traditional chants for soloists with the Victoria choruses for choir. All parts are included in the full edition, and the choruses with lead-ins are in a separate choral edition. Charles Thatcher has skillfully adapted all to fit the Lectionary translation, including the choruses. Singing the Passion on Good Friday adds great solemnity to this Triduum liturgy. An alternate version is available as a digital download that replaces the chorus parts with a single-line part that may be sung by another soloist.

Here is the Passion account from the Gospel of John in a dignified, easy-to-proclaim format. The text corresponds exactly to the revised lectionary for Good Friday and the passion account that is found in seasonal worship aids and missals. No longer must lectors and presiders use pew editions of missals for such a solemn and important Gospel proclamation! Includes 3 complete sets of the Passion account for Good Friday: one set for the part of the Narrator one set for the part of the Speaker one set for the part of Jesus Each reader's part is set in large, 14-point, bold-faced type arranged in sense lines in their set, making it easy to find and proclaim effectively. The crowd part for the assembly appears in each set, as well as in any worship aid (missal or hymnal) from WLP, GIA, or OCP that may be found in your parish pews. The packets measure a standard 8.5 x 11 and are 3-hole-punched for easy insertion into our Red Ceremonial Binder (#006631). This edition is text only.

The St. John Passion SWV 481, with its full title History of the Passion and Death of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ According to the Evangelist St. John, is counted among the most frequently performed works of Heinrich Schutz. Other than the later passions by Johann Sebastian Bach, the original scoring does not include instrumental accompaniment. To enable a presentation of the passion by a wider circle of performers, however, the composer and church musician Arnold Mendelssohn (1855-1933) has developed this arrangement with organ or piano accompaniment, being a harmonic framework and new tone color at the same time. The edition also suggests chorales from the Evangelisches Gesangbuch for a possible active participation of the congregation.
