Mass in B Minor

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Sir John Eliot Gardiner & English Baroque Soloists & Monteverdi Choir

Mass in B minor is a musical setting of the Mass ordinary by Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. The work synthesises movements from earlier cantatas with newly composed material to form a large-scale choral and orchestral composition that blends Baroque counterpoint, expansive fugues and varied solo vocal writing, and represents a late-career synthesis of Bach's sacred vocal output within the Baroque tradition.
