"Pasja według św. Mateusza" jest jedną z dwóch pasji Bacha, które zachowały się w całości. Powstała ona w późnym okresie jego twórczości, gdy kompozytor był kantorem w kościele św. Tomasza w Lipsku. Pierwsze wykonanie "Pasji według św. Mateusza" miało miejsce w Wielki Piątek 15 kwietnia 1729 roku. Ten monumentalny, złożony z 24 scen, utwór stawia współczesnych dyrygentów oraz instrumentalistów wobec wielu różnorodnych problemów wykonawczych. Publikacja "Johann Sebastian Bach, St. Matthew Passion, Introduction and Instructions for Study" Helmutha Rilinga jest skierowana szczególnie do dyrygentów. Zawiera ona wiele przydatnych wskazówek (m. in. odnośnie artykulacji, tempa, dynamiki, frazowania) w odniesieniu do każdej ze scen pasji. Zawarty jest w niej także opis pierwszych wykonań tej kompozycji w czasach współczesnych Bachowi.

It avoids as much as possible problems of melody and harmony. There are ten pieced included in this book to illustrate not only compositional problems but also to supply music that group can perform to develope technique.
