:'''Edition notes:''' This edition of the Schutz St John Passion is, for me, part of a project to bring these influential works back into the liturgical life of the church in English speaking countries.

For these works, occupying a crucial position in our Christain faith, it is not enough for listeners of faith, listening to them in a church setting, that they are works of great art. They must be fully  understood and, of course, the best way for this to happen today is for them to be sung in modern English.  Setting the modern words to the more ancient plainsong and choral writing of Schutz has meant certain changes of rhythm in the choruses and details of the vocal line in the recitatives.

I have come away from this process surprised how effective song is in transforming sometimes clumsy language!  I am indebted to CPDL and the edition of Peter Kaplan for the score and to  Professor Richard Gaskin for his major contribution to the English translation of the final chorus, and of course to Heinrich Schütz, who has written these works in a way that brings them within reach of amateur singers and the resources of some communities of faith.    Christopher Martin, March 2018.

German.png German text

Das Leiden unsers Herren Jesu Christi,
wie uns das beschreibet,
der heilige Evangeliste Johannes.

Jesum von Nazareth.

Bist du nicht seiner Jünger einer?

Wäre dieser nicht ein Übeltäter,
wir hätten dir ihn nicht überantwortet.

Wir dürfen niemand töten.

Nicht diesen, sondern Barrabam!

Sei gegrüßet, lieber Jüdenkönig.

Kreuzige ihn!

Wir haben ein Gesetze,
und nach dem Gesetze
soll er sterben,
denn er hat sich selbst
zu Gottes Sohn gemacht.

Läßest du diesen los,
so bist du des Kaisers Freund nicht;
denn wer sich zum Könige machet,
der ist wider den Kaiser.

Weg, weg mit dem, kreuzige ihn!

Wir haben keinen König denn den Kaiser.

Schreibe nicht: „Der Judenkönig“
sondern daß er gesagt habe:
"Ich bin der Jüden König".

Lasset uns den nicht zerteilen
weß er sein soll.

O hilf, Christe, Gottes Sohn,
durch dein bitter Leiden,
daß wir dir stets untertan,
all Untugend meiden,
deinen Tod und sein Ursach,
fruchtbarlich bedenken,
dafür wiewohl arm und schwach
dir Dankopfer schenken.
