Motets

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gächinger Kantorei Stuttgart & Bach‐Collegium Stuttgart & Helmuth Rilling

Motets is a collection of sacred choral works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century (circa 1720). These pieces exemplify Bach's contrapuntal technique and complex polyphony, featuring intricate imitative textures and dense vocal writing that occupy an important place in his sacred music output and the broader choral repertoire.
