He takes Late Baroque opera and converts it into a powerful sacred art form, giving musical voice to the five figures at John's Calvary scene. Unlike most Oratorios of the Passion (particularly the protestant ones), it is not a translation of what is in the Gospel, but it is a loose interpretation of the thoughts of those present; their experience of the Crucifixion. They mourn in harmony or cry with fierce passion. Their contrasting positions are reflected musically: John's brashness in not understanding Jesus' suffering over the sins of the guilty; Mary Magdalen's anger at the people for their ingratitude; the soothing repentence together with Maria Cleofe; the Virgin Mary's despair over her son. The oratorio is dramatically cloven in two by the Crucifixion chorus which is stark and vehement. Altogether, Zelenka gives us a powerful human drama. Libretto: Michelangelo Boccardi. Background painting: Simon Vouet - "The Crucifixion" - 1622.
