St Luke Passion, BWV 246
The ''St Luke Passion'' (german: Lukas-Passion), BWV 246, is a Passion setting formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. It is included in the BWV catalog under the number 246. Now it appears in the catalogues under the heading apocryphal or anonymous. History A surviving manuscript of the ''St Luke Passion'' from about 1730 is partly in Bach's hand, though scholars believe that the music is certainly not his own. The music was later thought to have been composed by Johann Melchior Molter, but that was proven false because if Molter composed the music, then the manuscript would date to later than 1730. Presumably Bach performed it, or intended to perform it, in Leipzig. C. P. E. Bach and Agricola may have mistaken it for a work of Bach's and thus included it in their census. Of course, given his delight in exhaustive cycles, Bach should have composed a ''St Luke Passion''. Apparently J. S. Bach took the anonymous ''St Luke Passion'' and arranged it for four voices, chorus, o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Passion (music)
In Christian music, a Passion is a Musical setting, setting of the Passion of Christ. Liturgy, Liturgically, most Passions were intended to be performed as part of church services in the Holy Week.

Everywhere At The End Of Time
''Everywhere at the End of Time'' is the eleventh and final recording by the Caretaker, an alias of English electronic musician Leyland Kirby. Released between 2016 and 2019, its six studio albums use degrading loops of sampled ballroom music to portray the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Inspired by the success of ''An Empty Bliss Beyond This World'' (2011), Kirby produced ''Everywhere'' as his final major work under the alias. The albums were produced in Krakow and released over six-month periods to "give a sense of time passing", with abstract album covers by his friend Ivan Seal. The series drew comparisons to the works of composer William Basinski and electronic musician Burial, while the later stages were influenced by avant-gardist composer John Cage. The series comprises six hours of music, portraying a range of emotions and characterised by noise throughout. Although the first three stages are similar to ''An Empty Bliss,'' the last three depart from Kirby's ea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Selected Memories From The Haunted Ballroom
''Selected Memories from the Haunted Ballroom'' is the debut studio album by the Caretaker, an alias of musician Leyland Kirby. Released in 1999, it consists of an influence from the horror film '' The Shining'', manipulating songs from the 1920s to resemble the film's music. It differed from Kirby's earlier works in that it did not manipulate pop songs to create noise albums, as he did under the V/Vm alias. It rather slowed down big band records to create a hauntological atmosphere, as he did on the Caretaker's early albums. However, the packaging was the same as other V/Vm releases. The album was met with positivity from music critics, who praised its hauntological themes. Background In the late 1990s, English musician Leyland Kirby started recording as V/Vm, releasing noise albums sampled from pop songs. Controversial aspects, such as copyright concerns and recordings of pigs feeding, were a prominent part of the alias. The alias was prolific, releasing in vinyl and CD on l ...
