Messe in h-Moll
Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Les Musiciens du Louvre & Marc Minkowski
The Mass in B minor (Messe in h‑Moll) is a choral mass by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and completed in 1749. The work synthesises Baroque vocal and instrumental writing across movements for choir, soloists and orchestra, serving as a culminating statement of Bach's sacred compositional practice and reflecting his engagement with large-scale liturgical forms in his late career.
