Attributed to Handel and published in volume nine of the Handel-Gesellschaft (1860);
Attributed to Bohm later, and finally, in 1987, to Christian Ritter. However, it is currently still thought to have been by Bohm.
There are no text/lyrics; these Files were generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes (using a published piano-reduction Score), and so don't look pretty even though they should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold).
Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above). The Site also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available.
There is an excellent performance of this Work by Capella Savaria, under Pál Németh, on YouTube starting at https://www.youtube.com/playlist.....AoFGJHlaPY0xuTAs
There is an interesting but rather scathing revue of this Work at https://www.gramophone.co.uk/rev.....-st-john-passion
