Today’s readings speak of Jesus the suffering servant. The Crucifixus from Bach’s Mass in B Minor paints a vivid picture of our Lord’s suffering, both in the pulsing accompaniment and in the melodic strangeness of the contrapuntal entries on the word crucifixus. There’s especial drama, which we tried to bring out, in the arresting homophony on repetitions of the word passus (he suffered). Despite being the briefest miniature from an otherwise epic work, it portrays the suffering of the Passion with stark and beautiful clarity.
