The St Matthew Passion, BWV 244, (German: Matthäus-Passion),
is a musical composition 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 to music,
with interspersed chorales and arias. It is widely regarded
as one of the masterpieces of classical sacred music.
The original Latin title Passio Domini Nostri J.C. Secundum Evangelistam Matthaeum
translates to: The Passion of our Lord J.C. after the Evangelist Matthew.
It is also rendered in English as St. Matthew Passion and in German as Matthäuspassion.
