(2023) J.S. Bach: Johannes-Passion K. 304 text and historical background blendSt John Passion (BWV 245) Read reviews According to the obituary written by his son Carl Philip Emmanuel and his former pupil Johann Friedrich Agricola, Johann Sebastian Bach composed five Passions, including one for two choirs (the St Matthew Passion). However, only two of them have survived in their entirety. A third one, the St Mark Passion, has given rise to various reconstructions, and the last two, if they at all existed, are irretrievably lost.
