In 1712 the north german poet Barthold Heinrich Brockes published his «Passions-Oratorium» Der für die Sünden der Welt gemarterte und sterbende JESUS, which today is widely known as the so called «Brockes-Passion». Because of its picturesque and expressive diction the text became one of the most popular passion-libretti of the 18th century and was set to music by the most famous german composers of this time like Reinhard Keiser, Georg Friedrich Händel, Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Mattheson, Johann Friedrich Fasch and Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. Even Johann Sebastian Bach used parts of the text for his St. John‘s Passion.
Reinhard Keiser's setting of the «Brockes-Passion» dates from the year 1712 and was probably performed for the first time in a private concert that took place in Barthold Heinrich Brockes' house in Hamburg. In comparison to the only well known composition of Keiser, the St. Mark's passion (which was most likely composed by Friedrich Nicolaus Bruhns), the «Brockes-Passion» is much more artful, dramatic and operatic and demands much higher vituosity from the singers and instrumentalists.
