Notes:

The St Matthew Passion (German: Matthäus-Passion), BWV 244, is a Passion, a sacred oratorio 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 (in the German translation of Martin Luther) 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 Matthæum translates to "The Passion of our Lord J[esus C[hrist according to the Evangelist Matthew". The Image Supplied Is an almost exact copy of the cover. Only thing missing is the oryx, exploring the world of music emblem in the top right corner. the image is of the "church of the saints constantine and helen our saviour arkadi crete".
