Messen BWV 233-236

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Basler Madrigalisten & Linde Consort

Messen BWV 233–236 are a set of four short Masses (Missa brevis) by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1730. They are concise Latin Kyrie and Gloria settings that repurpose movements from Bach's cantatas into Baroque choral and solo textures with instrumental accompaniment, illustrating his practice of adapting cantata material for compact liturgical use and linking these works to his broader sacred output.
