Performance Notes: - Singers should feel free to change or adapt the pitches or rhythm of any of the solo parts, whether to emphasize different words, or for the comfort of the singer. - The original performance was sung unaccompanied, except for the verses of "Ah, Holy Jesus", which were accompanied by organ and sung by the congregation. You are welcome to adapt the piece to your own needs. - You are welcome to use keyboard accompaniment wherever you'd like: the hymns, choruses, or even a simple "basso continuo" style accompaniment for the solo parts. - Many opt to substitute the word "people" for the word "Jews".
