The
oratorio Passions by
Homilius were among the
last compositions of
their kind in the 18th
century. In an oratorio
Passion the chorus is
restricted mainly to
singing the chorales and
the interjections of the
crowd; only the
conclusion of a Passion
provides an opportunity
for an extensive choral
movement. In the St. John
Passion the final chorus
emphasizes the supreme
importance of the
Crucifixion as the climax
of St. John's Gospel. The
free elements of the
composition take the
forms customary at the
time: da capo arias are
predominant. Score and
part available separately
