The Passion of Our Lord According to St. Mark is a choral work composed by Charles Wood. It was composed in 1920 and premiered on March 23, 1921, at St. Mark's Church in North Audley Street, London. The work is divided into nine movements and is approximately 40 minutes in length. The first movement, "Introduction," sets the tone for the work with a solemn and mournful melody. The second movement, "The Last Supper," features a beautiful choral setting of the words of Christ at the Last Supper. The third movement, "Gethsemane," is a hauntingly beautiful setting of Christ's prayer in the garden. The fourth movement, "The Betrayal and Arrest," is a dramatic and intense setting of the events leading up to Christ's arrest. The fifth movement, "The Trial," is a powerful and emotional setting of the trial of Christ before Pilate. The sixth movement, "The Crucifixion," is a solemn and mournful setting of the events leading up to Christ's death on the cross. The seventh movement, "The Death of Christ," is a poignant and moving setting of Christ's final moments on the cross. The eighth movement, "The Burial," is a somber and reflective setting of the burial of Christ. The final movement, "The Resurrection," is a triumphant and joyful setting of the resurrection of Christ. The Passion of Our Lord According to St. Mark is characterized by its beautiful choral writing and its emotional depth. Wood's use of harmony and melody creates a powerful and moving musical experience that captures the essence of the Passion story. The work is a testament to Wood's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that speaks to the heart and soul of the listener.
