For soli, treble choir, mixed choir and chamber ensemble.
Choral texts by Bengt Pohjanen, other texts taken from Mark 14-15 and Isaiah 53.

Since its premiere, this work has conquered Sweden's churches. With its peculiar combination of folk music melodies and baroque elements, the music reaches its audience without detours. A soprano as evangelist leads through the story with virtuosic coloraturas and expressive parts. Jesus is portrayed by a baritone and the choirs have a central role.

"I am, and you shall see
The Son of Man sit on Power
right side and get in between
clouds of heaven."


Participating in the CD recording are Maria Magdalena Motettkör and a girls' choir from Adolf Fredrik's Music Classes, Jeanette Köhn is the evangelist, Jesper Taube Jesus, Gunnar Andersson portrays Petrus, Balcaras Crafoord the high priest, Christoffer Holgersson Pilatus and Mia Lundell a maid. In addition, a chamber ensemble with selected musicians participates. Conductor is Ragnar Bohlin.
