Johann Friedrich Fasch, Bach's predecessor at Leipzig's Thomasschule and a prolific composer with a contemporary reputation throughout Germany, composed works for Protestant services as well as secular instrumental works, including overtures (suites), symphonies, partitas and a great deal of varied chamber music. His Passio Jesu Christi is a setting of the so-called Brockes Passion, which is known for its open sentimentality and theatricality and was also set to music by Handel and Telemann, among others.
