After the death of Johann Rosenmüller the Wolfenbüttel court selected a new chapel master in 1684: Johann Theile, who in the view of Duke Anton Ulrich and his musical advisors had always been a very well-qualified candidate. It is to be assumed that Theile's experience in the field of the opera recommended him for the post of court music director in Wolfenbüttel - after all, during his tenure, which lasted from 1685 to 1689, a court opera theater was established at Wolfenbüttel Castle, where works by Lully and Italian composers were performed. The multifaceted richness of Theile's compositional artistry is reflected in special measure in his St. Matthew Passion published in Lübeck in 1673. In it elements of the traditional church style are combined with progressive techniques of dramatic narration and meditative reflection in song. In their subtle emotionality, which is expressed both in the leading of the voice parts and in the design of the instrumental ritornellos, the arias and canzonettas invite listeners to engage in personal, highly emotional contemplation of the Biblical events, very much in the spirit of the Pietistic currents that then were taking shape. While most listeners will be familiar with the accompaniment of the words of Christ by stringed instruments from the Passions of Johann Sebastian Bach, the accompaniment of the Evangelist's narrative with gambas in Theile's Passion produces an entirely new and different effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus I: Eingang, Jesus Zu Bethanien: Das Leiden Und Sterben Unsers Herren \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus I: Das Letzte Abendmahl: Aber Am Ersten Tage Der Süßen Brote \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus I: Jesus Am Ölberg: Und, Da Sie Den Lobgesang Gesprochen Hatten \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus I: Vor Caiphas: Die Aber Jesum Gegriffen Hatten \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus I: Petrus: Petrus Aber Saß Draußen Im Palast \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus II: Vor Den Hohepriestern: Des Morgens Aber Hielten Alle Hohenpriester \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus II: Vor Pilatus: Jesus Aber Stund Vor Dem Landpfleger \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus II: Im Richthaus: Da Nahmen Die Kriegsknechte Des Landpflegers Jesum \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus II: Kreuzigung Und Tod: Und Indem Sie Hinausgingen \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi - St. Matthew Passion-Actus II: Grablegung, Beschluss: Und Es Waren Viel Weiber Da\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
