Mass B Minor

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Mikaeli kammarkör & Drottningholms Barockensemble & Anders Eby

Mass in B minor is a musical composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. It is a vast setting of the Latin Mass that employs Baroque choral and orchestral forces, featuring contrapuntal complexity, varied vocal textures and a blend of fugal and homophonic writing, and synthesises techniques from Bach's earlier sacred works, reflecting his late-period compositional approach.
First released: 1992
