About the Music

Sir Colin Davis’s second week of concerts is devoted to a new work co-commissioned by the BSO and the London Symphony Orchestra, the Scottish composer James MacMillan’s St. John Passion. Sir Colin requested this major work from one of his favorite contemporary composers in part to commemorate the conductor’s own 80th birthday; he led the premiere in London in April 2008. The piece is a largescale work in two parts for chorus, orchestra, and baritone solo, building on the great traditional Passions of Bach in a dramatic setting, both traditional and modern, of the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John. These are the American premiere performances.
