While Penderecki is best known for the visceral sonic assault of experimental works such as his
Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (1961),
St. Luke Passion (Passio et mors Domini Nostri Jesu Christi secundum Lucam) is considered by many to be a landmark work in the history of twentieth century. What is still most striking about his
Passion is how compellingly it blends avant-garde techniques—especially Penderecki's innovative textures and hovering tone clusters—with more traditional styles of choral and vocal writing. All of this contributes equally to the emotional resonance of music and story alike, and it's no wonder the
Passion has become one of the composer's most renowned works.
