Bach and Handel in one Passion<\/strong> \nIn the course of his life, Johann Sebastian Bach produced three versions of the St. Mark Passion<\/em> from \"Kaiser\". The third was composed around 1747; he was already sixty years old at the time. It was performed at the Good Friday service as a pasticcio with seven arias from Handel's Brockes Passion<\/em> performed. The term \"pasticcio\" refers to the practice of combining pieces of music by several composers to create a new work. The individual parts of the work can appear unchanged or edited, adapted to a new context or even newly composed for a specific occasion.<\/p>\nThe present Passion is in two parts and very extensive. The basso continuo consists only of a figured bass. The edition accepts the fact that it is not possible to clarify the details of the dynamic and articulatory design, as the instrumental parts were already 35 years old in 1747 and the vocal parts were notated 20 years earlier. The work has 39 numbers; the score is one hundred pages long. In today's usage, a performance for a church service would go beyond all norms. <\/p>\n
