Frédéric Ledroit's 'La Passion du Christ selon Saint Jean' features the role of Saint John represented by three different female singers—contralto, mezzo-soprano, and soprano—whose voices rise in pitch as the action progresses.

Composition History

Frédéric Ledroit, the composer, decided to write this oratorio after completing his Requiem, aiming for a large-scale sacred opera.

Composer's Artistic Vision

For composer Frédéric Ledroit, creating this work was a spiritual experience, a 'communion with Christ', where music acts as an 'invisible messenger'.
