The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Johncdn.ocp.org/shared/pdf/preview/20042Z.pdf · 2019. 7. 10. · 2 Introduction The singing of the Passion is an ancient practice

2

IntroductionThe singing of the Passion is an ancient practice in the Latin Rite. The music gives the proclamation both a solem-nity and an intensity that is appropriate for the Good Friday liturgy.

The Music: Sung SpeechFr. Columba Kelly, OSB, has set the text of the Lectionary (second typical edition) to the ancient tone for thisproclamation. The tone has been carefully adapted for the rhythm and accentuation of the English language.

Care should be taken to preserve the natural English rhythm of the text. The notes are not of equal value. Ratherthey should reflect the length and intensity of the English accent. The singers should read through the text out loudand determine how they would proclaim the text orally. Having made that judgment, they can then add the music.This type of music is sung speech in which the music serves the text.

Division into ScenesThe text has been divided into eighteen scenes in order to assist the singers when practicing and proclaiming thePassion.

The CharactersTraditionally the text is divided between three singers: the Christus, the Narrator, and the People.

This presentation also provides the possibility of further divisions in order to distribute the burden of singingamong a larger group if that seems appropriate. The singing of the Passion takes about twenty-fiveminutes. Practicalities may dictate that part be read and part be sung. The sections for the duos, trios, and thecrowd may be sung in unison, but where there are resources, these sections should be sung in harmony.

The narrator’s role has been divided between Narrator 1 and Narrator 2. The largest burden is still borne by Narrator 1, but the scenes of Peter’s denial as well as the dialogues between Christ and Pilate are given toNarrator 2.

The other characters are divided out as indicated by the text with a few passages for duos and trios. As is clearfrom the text, Pilate is a major character in the Passion of John, and there is a real advantage to making him, atleast, a separate voice.

The characters are as follows:The Christus, designated in the music by the Cross: �The Narrator

Narrator 1, designated in the music as N1Narrator 2, designated in the music as N2

The PeoplePilate (fifteen times)Peter (twice)Maid (once)Trio of accusers (twice)Trio of soldiers (once)Slave (once)Guard (once)Duo of High Priests (twice)The Crowd (nine times)

The PresentationThe sung proclamation of the Passion is not meant to be a realistic presentation of the action. Still the words of thetext should communicate the vitality and the mystery of the Lord’s Passion and Death. An over-wrought presenta-tion calls attention to itself instead of the text while a tepid approach belies the power of the words. The proclama-tion need only reveal the power of the words.

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to JohnJohn 18:1—19:42 Columba Kelly, OSB

N1: The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John

1. Betrayal in the Garden

N1: Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden,into which he and his disciples entered. Judas his betrayer also knew the place,because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him,went out and said to them,

� “Whom are you looking for?”

Edition #20042

N1: Jesus answered,

� “I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”

N1: This was to fulfill what he had said,N2: “I have not lost any of those you gave me.”N1: Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it,

struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter,

� “Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?”

2. Jesus before Annas

N1: So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus,bound him, and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,who was high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.

3. Peter’s Denial

N2: Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest,and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus. But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest,went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in. Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter,

Maid: “You are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?”N2: He said,

Peter: “I am not.”N2: Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire

that they had made, because it was cold,and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.

4. Jesus before Caiaphas

N1: The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine. Jesus answered him,

� “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather,and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.”

Edition #20042

N1: When he had said this,one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said,

Guard: “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”N1: Jesus answered him,

� “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

N1: Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

5. Peter’s Second Denial

N2: Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm.

N2: He denied it and said,Peter: “I am not.”

N2: One of the slaves of the high priest,a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said,

Slave: “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”N2: Again Peter denied it.

And immediately the cock crowed.


N1: Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium,in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. So Pilate came out to them and said,

Pilate: “What charge do you bring against this man?”

N2: So Pilate said to him,Pilate: “Then you are a king?”

N1: So they took Jesus, and, carrying the cross himself,he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull,in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others,one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read,

N2: “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”N1: Now many of the Jews read this inscription,

because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

N1: Pilate answered,Pilate: “What I have written, I have written.”

14. The Soldiers Divide Jesus’ Clothing

N1: When the soldiers had crucified Jesus,they took his clothes and divided them into four shares,a share for each soldier. They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless,woven in one piece from the top down.

16. The Death

N1: After this, aware that everything was now finished,in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,Jesus said,

� “I thirst.”N1: There was a vessel filled with common wine.

So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,

� “It is finished.”N1: And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

Here all kneel and pause for a short time.

17. The Fulfillment of the Scriptures

N1: Now since it was preparation day,in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath,for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and that they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,they did not break his legs,but one soldier thrust his lance into his side,and immediately blood and water flowed out. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth,so that you also may come to believe. For this happened so that the Scripture passage might be fulfilled:

N2: Not a bone of it will be broken.N1: And again another passage says:N2: They will look upon him whom they have pierced.

18. The BurialN1: After this, Joseph of Arimathea,

secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews,asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body. Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night,also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices,according to the Jewish burial custom. Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden,and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.
