Patricia Tyler, Director BC Beyond Educational Travel Boston College Your faculty host, Jeremiah W. McGrann, is a founding member of the Boston College Music Department. He is a leading researcher on Beethoven, having edited Beethoven’s Mass in C for the new complete edition of Beethoven’s works published by the Beethoven‑Haus in Bonn and Henle editions. Active as a scholar, pianist and public speaker, he has written on Beethoven, Haydn, liturgical music and hermeneutics; he concertizes with a special interest in the music of , and has given talks at international conferences and for the Handel and Haydn Society. A second area of interest is the history of music in Boston and he has written a brief monograph on the history of music at Boston College. He studied in Vienna for his junior year and his research has led him to Eisenstadt, Budapest and into libraries and archives throughout Europe. t he Passion Pl ay of berammergau Nearly 400 years ago, the ruling council of Oberammergau made a valiant effort to safeguard their hamlet against the Black Death plague. They sought deliverance by performing a Passion Play on a modest stage built over the graves of plague victims. Surviving villagers made a solemn vow to reenact the passion of Christ every 10 years in perpetuity as an act of gratitude and remembrance. Through the centuries, Oberammergau’s Passion Play has risen in prestige, drawing pilgrims from around the world. Performed on one of the world’s largest stages, the Passionspielhaus, the play now features a cast of nearly 2000 village residents transformed from Bavarian farmers and townsfolk into an array of Roman centurions, Jewish villagers and other Biblical characters. The tradition lives on, respected around the globe as the world’s most historic and spectacular Passion Play.
