Pasticcio. The majority of turba choruses, two duets, and all the chorale harmonizations derived principally from the Matthäuspassion and some other works of J.S. Bach; one turba chorus adopted from the Markuspassion of Homilius, the composers of others remaining unidentified; two large choral movements borrowed from other works of C.P.E. Bach; recitatives nominally composed by C.P.E. Bach with the obvious influence of the J.S. Bach Matthäuspassion; various other movements newly composed by C.P.E. Bach.
German words; libretto printed on p. xix-xxiv.
In addition to the biblical narrative, other textual sources include the poetry of Anna Louisa Karsch and chorale texts from the Hamburgische neuvermehrtes Gesang-Buch.
