B Minor Mass

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Robert Shaw Chorale & Robert Shaw Orchestra & Robert Shaw

The Mass in B minor is a large-scale choral mass by Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. The work sets the Latin Mass in a Baroque idiom with complex counterpoint and varied vocal and instrumental textures, and it was compiled near the end of Bach's life as a synthesis of techniques from his earlier sacred music.
