In this book George B. Stauffer explores the music and complex
history of Bach's last and possibly greatest masterpiece. Stauffer
examines the B-Minor Mass in greater detail than ever before,
demonstrating for the first time Bach's reliance on contemporary
models from the Dresden Mass repertory and his brilliantly
innovative methods of unifying his immense composition. Musicians,
music scholars, students, and music lovers will find in this
engagingly written book a wealth of information about Bach's
extraordinary choral work. Stauffer surveys the roots of the Mass
Ordinary text and its treatment in settings known to Bach. He looks
at the events that led to the writing of the B-Minor Mass and
places the work within the context of the composer's late style. In
three deeply informed chapters, Stauffer considers the individual
sections of the Mass--the Kyrie and Gloria, the Credo, and the
Sanctus and Agnus Dei. The book also traces the history of the work
after Bach's death, addresses specific issues of performance
practice, and investigates the qualities that give the B-Minor Mass
its universal appeal.
