In 'General information' this is marked 'a cappella'. Bach's St John Passion is, of course, accompanied by full orchestra. It is misleading to describe this work as 'a cappella' just because no orchestral parts are provided in the CPDL contributions. (The individual files often make it clear that there's a lot more than the chorus parts contributed.)

(I thought it might be an unaccompanied setting I had not heard of).
