About

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, German Passion music was strongly influenced by the Italian Oratorio with Heinrich Schütz perhaps the composer most responsible for introducing the Italian style to Germany.
 
Among the list of composers paving the way to Bach in this tradition was the composer, organist and singer Johann Valentin Meder (1649-1719). His St. Matthew Passion was most likely written in 1701 in Riga. Meder’s work captivates through its clarity and its accessible style.
