According to St. Matthew, by J. Sebastian Bach. (Relayed .from the Anglican Cathedral) When the great Bach set himself, more than two hundred years ago, to compose his Passion Music, he had perforce to use the form which the church of his day accepted, strange medley though that was of operatic and ecclesiastical styles. He cast his ideas in that mould with such splendid effect that, to this day, his Passion Music seems exactly right. It is simple and has a nobility which no one else has ever since achieved.
