J S Bach Mass in B minor

Given as part of the St George's Easter Passion festival, Exultate Singers and the Lochrian Ensemble perform Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in B minor, undoubtedly one of the greatest works in the choral repertoire.

Famous for the beauty and power of the vocal and orchestral writing, this monumental work incorporates elements from compositions that span many years of Bach's career, developed and refined during his last years of life to create a masterpiece of the Baroque era.

From the majestically solemn opening'Kyrie' to the celebratory blaze of trumpets and drums that concludes the final'Dona nobis pacem', Bach's music expresses the full range of human emotions from intense sadness to great joy and zest for life.
