No. 11 · Cum Sancto Spiritu

Johann Sebastian Bach · 1748–49 · D major · 128 bars · 132 chords analysed

Bach assembled his monumental Mass at the very end of his life, partly from earlier cantatas, and never heard it complete. Its 24 movements range from five-part choruses with trumpets to intimate arias. This is the full orchestral and choral score.
