About This Song
About "Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244: 77. Nun ist der Herr zur Ruh gebracht" by Aldo Baldin
Bach closes the Passion with a lullaby for the soul: 'Now the Lord is brought to rest.' The tenor floats over a bed of strings, calm and exhaustion intertwined. It's the hush after storm, a grave tenderly rocked, grief and peace in fragile balance.
