High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In church music, Passion is a term for sung musical settings, normally at least partly choral, of the Gospel texts covering the Passion of Jesus, the events leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus, and emphasising his suffering. The special Catholic services on the last three days of Holy Week are known as Tenebrae, and there have been many famous musical settings of the readings from these services, especially those from the Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet. These are not covered below. The reading of the Passion from one of the Gospels during Holy Week dates back at least to the fourth century and is described by Egeria. In the fifth century Pope Leo the Great specified that the gospel of Matthew be used on Palm Sunday and the following Wednesday and that of John on Good Friday; by the tenth century Luke replaced Matthew on Wednesday and Mark was added on Tuesday.
