| Johann Sebastian BACH – Mass in B Minor |
 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) Mass in B minor BWV 232 The Mass in B minor BWV 232 (Missa solemnis toni Si minoris) is a musical setting of the complete Latin Mass which Bach composed for the Dresden court between years 1724–1749. The Mass was most probably never performed in totality during Bach's lifetime, and the work largely disappeared in the 18th century. Several performances in the early 19th century, however, sparked a revival both of the piece and the larger rediscovery of Bach's music. Today, it is widely hailed as a monumental work of the late Baroque and is frequently performed.
