Perhaps it would have been neat to take in Bach's St. Matthew Passion at the Cathedral of the Madeline yesterday. I'm told it is rarely performed, partly due to it requiring a double choir and numerous soloists. I wonder if the oratorio is good enough to be considered one of the best offerings our culture has to offer during the Easter Season. Is it good enough, that if it were offered enough, it might be equal to what "A Christmas Carol" is to Christmas?
If so, I missed out.
We have stories, songs, concerts, and plays a plenty that come with Christmas. It would be good to have more offerings for Easter, not to commercialize the season, but to contribute to its observance.
