Bach’s Mass in B Minor evolved through the composer’s last years as his ultimate musical and religious testament. Set by a fervent Lutheran to the text of the Roman Catholic Mass, the work is universal in its spiritual appeal and its musical scope and is considered among the greatest creations of the human mind and spirit.
