Editor's info:
Der Tod Jesu forms part of the long Christian tradition of musical settings of the Passion story for the period before Easter. The text, compiled from the Gospels by Carl Wilhelm Ramler, was almost simultaneously set to music by Graun and Telemann, the two works receiving their premieres in March 1755. The stylistic differences of the two works are striking. Telemann represents the North-German, late-Baroque tradition, with all its complexity and preference for structure and colour. Graun, influenced by Italian opera, chose the path of lyricism and spontaneous melodies, using the harmonic language that had emerged from Classicism. In Der Tod Jesu we find fugal passages reminiscent of Bach; if a feeling of timelessness, an expression of higher things, is characteristic of Bach's works, here personal expression gains the upper hand in a freer style.
