They represent the oldest known examples of this genre with Spanish text. The libretto depicts episodes from the life of Mary Magdalene that occur immediately before the Passion. Multiple performances in Valencia and Palma de Mallorca between 1715 and 1749 are documented, and the work may have been composed earlier in Madrid. It is the only surviving oratorio by José de San Juan, one of the most important Spanish chapel masters of his time.
