The commissioned work of the Jyväskylä Parish and the Jyväskylä Symphony from 2000 offers a variation on traditional passion compositions. The three-part Easter oratorio Triduum Paschale is one of the most extensive compositions in the production of composer Pekka Kostiainen. Divided into three parts, the work begins with the dramatic Maundy Thursday Mass, continues with the gloomy Good Friday Word Service and ends with a joyful, hope-filled Easter Mass. Throughout history, various liturgical works have been composed for Christian Easter services, and the passion about the suffering and death of Christ in particular has established itself in concert halls as a form of composition. Central to this, of course, is J. S. Bach's famous Matthew and John Passions, which have paved the way for later passion compositions. Triduum Paschale premiered at Taulumäki Church in Jyväskylä on Easter day, April 23, 2000, and was conducted by Markus Lehtinen. The work was a stormy success and has been performed in Jyväskylä during Easter many times later. Now the work will finally be heard on an album as well.
