ヨハネ受難曲
In the summer of 1815, Bach's Passions began to be studied once again. Parts of the "St John Passion" were being rehearsed and the "St Matthew Passion" was soon to follow. Fred Wolle, with his Choral Union of 1888 at the Moravian town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was the first to perform the "St John Passion" in the Americas. This spurred a revival of Bach's choral music in the New World.
