The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

according to St. Matthew

for tenor, bass (Christus), and baritone (Evangelist) clergy parts

and three-part chorus

a setting of the Gospel appointed for Palm Sunday in Year A

following the text of

by Royce Nickel

The part of the Evangelist belongs to the deacon; but where clergy are unavailable

to sing all the solo parts, these may be entrusted to singers chosen from the choir;

the bass part of Christus should, if at all possible, be sung by the priest.
