The Mass in B Minor is arguably Bach's greatest single work. In
this short guide John Butt considers the work from many angles
offering the reader basic information in a concise and accessible
form. The Mass in B Minor is fraught with difficulties regarding
its origin, and ambiguities concerning its function. John Butt
looks again at the historical sources and provides an up-to-date
summary of existing research and opinions together with new
insights of his own. He gives a vivid account of the work's
genesis, its historical context, and its reception by later
generations. One chapter considers the work movement by movement
providing the text in both Latin and English. The final group of
chapters on the music itself suggests some new approaches to the
work - its forms, style and overall structure - which are both
critically and historically based. This is an informative and lucid
guide, valuable for student and music lover alike.
