Mass In B Minor, BWV 232, in Full Score (Miniature Score)

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Misa en si menor. BWV 232. Partitura general de bolsillo.

The crowning glory of Bach's achievements in sacred music, the Mass in B Minor representa a powerful statement of Christian faith. Composed over more than two decades, this unprecedented work pairs deliberately archaic polyphonic sections with far-sighted modem ones, creating a vast, symmetrical plan of almost theatrical proportions. Scored for five solo voices, chorus, orchestra, and continuo, this towering masterpiece is reprinted here from the authoritative Bach-Gesellschaft edition.

The work appears in full score, with bar-numbered movements and ample margina at the bottom of each score page for notes and analysis. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, highquality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.

Dover (1998) unabridged reprint of the Bach-Gesellschaft edition.
