Mass in B Minor Full Score

Johann Sebastian Bach

Overview

The Mass in B Minor is a monumental sacred choral work by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed over several decades. Initially conceived as a Lutheran Mass, it was expanded to encompass the structure of the Roman Mass ordinary. This majestic composition proved too extensive for regular church services, finding its unique role as a concert piece that transcends denominational boundaries. It remains a focal point of Bach festivals and is among his most frequently recorded works.
