About "St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 / Part Two : J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 / Part Two: "Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder"" by Chicago Symphony Chorus
The final chorus of the St. Matthew Passion is a lullaby for the dead. 'Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder' rocks gently between weeping and sleep, the chorus's voices cradling the listener in a shared, exhausted peace. It's the sound of grief finally laying down its burden.
