• The Evangelist (the storyteller), here singing the plain chant lines indicated by the initial capital C. The C stands for Chronista, but also for the recitation note C.
• Jesus, here singing the plain chant lines indicated by the initial F. This refers also to his recitation tone, but also in a stylized version stands for a crucifix.
• Soliloquents: solospeakers, such as Peter, Judas, Caiphas, Pilate. Sung by the choir in two- or three part polyphonic settings
• Turbae: the multitudes, such as the disciples, priests, soldiers, the people. Sung by the choir in five- or six part polyphonic settings.
