St. Matthew's Passion is a sacred oratorio written by Bach in 1727 which sets the Biblical text of Matthew 26-27 to music, with interspersed chorales and arias. While many composers wrote musical settings of the Passion during this time, Bach's is distinctive for his use of a double-choir format and extensive use of chorales, which appear in standard four-part settings, as interpolations in arias, and as a cantus firmus in large polyphonic movements. The violin excerpt here includes the solo from Arie 47 (Erbarme dich, mein Gott).
