The lore about "Mary Had a Little Lamb" you never knew

One of my biggest projects to date, the St Mary Passion is a work exploring the style of baroque oratorio music. It is a parody oratorio, telling the untold connected stories of the characters from several nursery rhymes, in an accurately inaccurate manner :)

The musical aspect of this oratorio is influenced by Bach's Passion Oratorios (mainly the St John Passion), with a few movements taking influence from Handel's Messiah. Though it does diverge from the baroque style every few movements.

Additionally, the primary inspiration for this project came from Freddy Wickham's St Eamy Passion parody of Easter oratorio (https://youtu.be/uEt13lO19UA?si=4dizPRrgF1zFOeAx).
