Good Friday

Tomorrow is Good Friday. I just learned Saint Peter's will use the Saint John Passion instead of Saint Matthew. I listened to it today and I simply can't find it as special though the chorales are ethereal. Another opportunity to embrace change, I tell myself. Paul always felt the opposite but I don't trust his opinion. I've come around on a lot of music he introduced me to, but I don't think I'll ever find the John as compelling as Matthew. I think I'm right on this one. And to think Bach lost a passion. How do you lose a passion? Lost work greater than the sum of whatever my life's output will be. How depressing is that?
