Baroque vocal music at Passiontide
The music of Passiontide has always been characterized by a tension between the depiction of Christ's suffering and the resulting story of salvation. Downright crushing harmonies and sounds of deep sorrow alternate with virtuoso lightness in anticipation of the coming days of Easter.
