Bach’s Mass in B minor stands as one of the greatest achievements in Western music: the summation of a life’s work. Written near the end of Bach’s life, it gathers the breadth of his musical genius into a single, breathtaking composition. From the joyful dance of the “Gloria” to the profound cry for peace in the “Agnus Dei,” the Mass is a journey through awe, devotion, and profound expression, uniting soloists, choir, and orchestra in music of timeless and universal power.
