You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.The St. Matthew Passion was first performed on Good Friday ( Karfreitag ) 1729 at Leipzig, Thomaskirche. In his two great Passions, the St. John (1724) and the St. Matthew (1727) Bach�s luxuriance of melody the intensity of his harmony and the way in which he could force the most complex polyphony into the service of the profoundest emotional expression must have created a lasting impression on that first congregation in Leipzig.
This series of arrangements for string quartet is aimed at string quartets� that are building a repertoire of incidental popular classics and �easy listening� music for social functions of every kind. In preparation also at the time of writing is a collection of the most popular hymns taken from the English Hymnal for string quartet with optional chamber organ. From time to time I shall add further pieces thus building the availability of music that is well known to the general public. String quartets should contact me if they have any particular requests, but here I must stress that strict copyright restrictions may apply for certain commissions.
