doesn't it just get ya right in the heart when Jesus announces he will be handed over to be crucified, and then the boy's choir comes in singing so quietly "Ah dearest Jesu, how hast thou offended that such a bitter judgement has been handed?"

And then when Jesus' disciples ask "Lord, is it I?" and after Judas says "Lord is it I?" the children come in again "'tis I, my sin repenting..." (or whatever your english translation reads...similar sentiment)

Check the link on my profile page to get to a couple of mp3's of me singing my solos they gave me during our performance.

Yes. It is absolutely my favorite piece of music.

BTW, Bach used the St. Matthew Passion as a job application. They turned him down in favor of somebody else. Whey first choice accepted another offer, they reluctantly hired Bach. How blase' can you get?
