The music scholar Malcolm Bruno has prepared a new reconstruction of the work based on the meanwhile established parody model Trauerode BWV 198.
Bach’s St John and St. Matthew Passions are popular and well established in concert life. Of a third, the Markus Passion, only Picander’s original libretto is extant. Parallel arias from various cantatas replace the lacking music for arias, and instead of the lost recitative and the turba [crowd] choruses, the spoken gospel text is bilingually published in this edition (in German/English). The freshly-prepared performance material including a detailed commentary is supplemented by a newly-arranged piano reduction.
