Samuel Besler:
St Mark Passion
Samuel Besler’s historical St Mark Passion is now performed in Finland for the first time.
During Holy Week, the week before Easter, Musicians of the King’s Road performs four early Passions set to the texts of all four evangelists. This may be the first time — at least in modern times — that a similar project is carried out in Finland.
The performance of the four Passions continues the cycle of early Passions that Musicians of the King’s Road initiated already in 2013, and during which rarely heard Passions by mainly first- and second-generation Reformation composers have been performed.
