 In earlier musical versions of the Passion story the entire narrative was a succession of polyphonic motets, but Walter used a monophonic reciting tone for the Evangelist and "dramatis personae", reserving for the people and disciples simple "falsobordone" (chordal) polyphony.Finnish ensemble Kuninkaantien muusikot (Musicians of the King's Road) has performed the Passion as a part of its early passions cycle.The performance took place in Turku Cathedral in 2017, the year of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
