St John Passion is a sacred Passion composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, first performed in Leipzig in 1724. The work exemplifies Baroque liturgical music, combining choruses, arias, recitatives and chorales with orchestral accompaniment to dramatise the Gospel narrative and occupies a central place in Bach's output of sacred music during his early Leipzig tenure.
