    4:26 SJP "Jesum von Nazareth"
    7:15 SJP "weinet bitterlich" (?)
    7:30 SJP Von den Stricken
    Fugues at 10:34 and 11:31 structurally resemble SJP Wir haben ein Gesetz and Lässest du diesen los
    12:11 Messiah lol
    14:37 SJP Wäre dieser nicht ein Übeltäter / general crowd scene stuff
    17:19 SJP Ich folge dir gleichfalls
    20:00 more SJP crowd stuff
    Chorales at 20:29 and 21:20 structurally resemble Petrus, der nicht denkt zurück and Christus, der uns selig macht
    22:01 interestingly back to the first recit from the SJP (Jesus ging mit seinen Jüngern)
    23:08 SJP Wir dürfen niemand töten / general crowd stuff
    26:57 SJP Eilt, ihr angefochtnen Seelen
    30:53 SJP Kreuzige, kreuzige
    34:31 SMP "Eli, Eli, lama asabthani"
    36:57 SJP Es ist vollbracht
    42:26 SMP the earthquake bit, can't remember the text

      In musescore you can try right clicking on the staff and select staff/part properties. There you can change the instrument naming. Though this is only for the visual appearance. To render the audio correctly, you still need to put different instruments on different staves
