About the work
In 1749, Bach completed this monumental mass for orchestra, choir, and five soloists—one of his final compositions. The Mass in B minor, as it is commonly known, is a complete mass with a Latin text, in which Bach employs the full breadth of the compositional techniques of the era. In this classic work, we experience everything from Gregorian-influenced melodic lines to virtuoso coloraturas in an exquisite Baroque style.
