Bach wrote several "Passions" what is a "Passion"?

Bartok · « **Reply #184 on:** February 21, 2006, 12:15:26 pm »

I "believe" Passion(s) have to do with Christs "ordeal" on the Cross at Golgotha??

Ok - I'm guessing....

Again very good. In general it is music dealing with the events from the Last supper until His death and resurection.

I see that quite often in my horn music. It translates to bassoon.

Stops are what block different voices on a pipe organ. Pulling out all the stops opens them all up.

An electric organ has the same thing, but of course the mechanism is different.

In most orchestras they Tune to A-440. Meaning the A below "Middle C" is 440 Hz. If an instrument is "True tuned" what is the frequency of the E above "Middle C" in such an orchestra?

762_XC · « **Reply #194 on:** February 25, 2006, 09:27:52 pm »

Well since that's a P5 above 440, I'm going to guess 660?
