Please enjoy an excerpt from #erbarmedich from #stmatthewpassion by #jsbach performed by me on #violins #violas #violoncellodaspalla with #violasolo and #violinsolo This #beautifulmusic is sung by the character of Saint Peter after he denies knowing Jesus 3 times. The #pizzicato #bassline is said to represent Peter’s tears and the #semitone dissonances heard in #groupsofthree throughout the piece represent the three times denial. #stmatthewspassion #passionweek #johansebastianbach #johannsebastian #baroquemusiclovers #barockmusik #celloist #violapower #violaworld #violanation #stringsextet #stringplayers (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLTrh-r-yy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
