JS Bach Mass in B-minor J.S. Bach, at the end of his rope as cappelmeister at St.Thomas Kirke in Leipzig, was looking for a new opportunity in another town. He wrote the B-minor Mass as an audition piece for King Augustus III of Saxony. The composition was not enough to land him that position, however; instead, it later went to the king's nephew.
Too bad for King Augustus, but not for us. The work is a masterpiece of complex harmonies and rhythms; it is considered one of the finest compositions of Bach's lifetime and of the period.
The piece consists of 23 movements on two disks, developed in a series of choral pieces, solo arias, and duets. All soloists are drawn from the choir.
