Oratorio Singers of Charlotte  BACH Mass in B-minor

Considered one of the supreme achievements of Bach’s career and, in fact, one of the finest creations of Western civilization, Bach’s Mass in B Minor was composed over a period of two decades. A magnificent musical setting of the traditional Roman Catholic liturgy, sung in Latin, the Mass is B Minor has 27 sections – solo arias, duets, and choruses for as many as eight parts.
