Luke Passion (Bach)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lukas Passion is an oratorio passion that was previously ascribed to Johann Sebastian Bach and was therefore assigned the number 246 in the Bach works directory . Research now assumes that the work was largely not composed by Bach himself, which is why it is now considered apocryphal ; There are different assumptions about possible composers.

There is a manuscript of the St. Luke Passion from around 1730, which, according to handwriting analyzes, was partially written down by Bach. Bach probably performed it in Leipzig, or at least intended to do it. His son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Friedrich Agricola mistakenly regarded it as a work of Bach and included it in the directory. With regard to Bach's preferences for complete cycles (at this point the St. John Passion and the St. Matthew Passion had already been composed), it seems plausible that he could have composed a St. Luke Passion. It is possible that Bach took the St. Luke Passion from another composer who had not yet been identified and arranged it for four solo voices, choir, orchestra and continuo in order to meet an urgent deadline of Good Friday 1730, and subsequently refrained from creating his own St. Luke Passion. To compose the Passion and instead went to the now lost Markus Passion to complete the Passion tetralogy.
