The composition of the Mass in B-Minor came late in Bach's life, when he was employed as Cantor of theSt. Thomas Church in Leipzig. It is a composite of works written from 1733-38 and was completed (with re-visions along the way) in 1748, two years before his death. In effect, the Mass in B-Minor is a monumentalretrospective of Bach's massive compositional output, and a stunning testament to the man who is widely'garded as the greatest composer who ever lived.

When Friedrich Augustus II, King of Poland and Grand-Elector of Saxony, died on February 1, 1733, Bachsought to raise himself in the estimation of the Leipzig functionaries and to please the new Catholic Elector-King by composing a Catholic Mass, thereby connecting himself more closely with the Court of Dresden. OnJuly 27 of that year Bach visited Dresden and formally petitioned for the title of Court Composer by presentinghis Missa (the Kyrie and Gloria) to the new sovereign, with an accompanying letter that read in part: "I submitin deepest devotion the present slight labor of that knowledge which I have achieved in musique ... " Thehonorary title of Court Composer was conferred upon Bach three years later, but no portion of the work wasever performed in Dresden.

The Missa was thus conceived of as a whole from the start, and it is certain that Bach performed the Kyrieand Gloria in the churches of Leipzig. Over the next five years he composed the various movements of theSymbolum Nicenum (Nicene Creed). Sanctus and Agnus Dei for specific performances in the churches of St.Nicholas and St. Thomas in Leipzig.

More than 80 years after Bach's death, the Berlin Singakademie presented the first complete performance ofthe Mass in B-Minor (Part I, 20 February 1834; Part II, 12 February 1835), due in large part to the unprecedentedinterest in Bach's music that had been generated by Mendelssohn's revival of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829.

Bach refined the "parody" technique of musical adaptation to its highest pitch of artistry in the Mass inB-Minor; no less than nine specific instances of borrowing from earlier cantatas and masses can be cited. Asmuch as he borrowed from other works, however, Bach left nothing wholly unaltered. With a compositionalstyle founded on the firm basis of German organ music, he wrote for voices as if they were instruments of almostlimitless dexterity and range. Five-part writing predominates, showing the unmistakable influence of Italial1church music on Bach's compositional technique.

Next to his music, Bach's religious faith was his comfort and refuge. Indeed, nearly all of his music was aform of worship. With no less than 83 volumes of theology, exegesis or homilies in his library, Bach was alearned student of theology-a dimension evident on every page of the Mass in B-Minor. Since the form ofworship in the principal churches of Leipzig was closely allied to that of the Catholics, and Bach's religiousperspective was staunchly Lutheran, the Mass in B-Minor is at once Catholic and Lutheran. (A detail worthnoting, in this regard, is that Bach always wrote "Gloria ejus" instead of "Gloria tua" in the Sanctus, followingthe text ofthe Bible and not that of the Canonical Mass.) Thus. the mighty proportions of the Mass in B-Minorsomewhat outstep the bounds of the traditional liturgy. Like Handel's Messiah, the aim fulfilled by theMass in B-Minor-albeit in a remarkably differing fashion-is no less than the artistic presentment of the

sence of Christianity.None of Bach's scores were published before he was 41 years old, and only nine or 10 of his works were

printed during his entire lifetime. As Ernest Newman has observed, Bach's "own ideal in music was largelyalien to the spirit of the new age, and his work was purely and simply inaccessible outside the small provincial-circle in which he happened to be living ... the forms in which he worked were already becoming a littleoutmoded (and) the younger generation knew virtually nothing of him ... It was his good fortune, we now see,that he remained the great provincial of music throughout his life, always working in small towns and develop-ing his purely German genius along the lines native to himself and appropriate to his historical position."

The magnificent Mass in B-Minor stands as a towering tribute to the unparallelled life and genius of JohannSebastian Bach, the man whom German composer Richard Wagner called "the most stupendous miracle in allmusic."
