The artistic idea of the St. Luke Passion was to compose a piece of music based on the baroque (Bach) with stylistic excursions into more modern styles. The baroque sections accompany the Gospel of St Luke and Göran Greider’s powerful contemporary texts about missiles and suffering, are accompanied by more modern styles. The composition is practical for performing in churches that cannot afford the St. Matthew Passion or similar expensive productions. The purpose of the project is to make available a unique piece of music on the international market. A CD recording with the soloist chosen for the international premiere of the German translation, is a decisively important documentation for the international successes of the piece.
