Performing the Passion We enter the world of Baroque Passion settings through an absorbing documentary on Bach’s St. John Passion, which will be compared to the lesser known, but equally magnificent, setting by Schütz.

The Art of the Canon Hans Abrahamsen’s Schnee is comprised of 10 canons, one of the oldest musical forms.
