Johann Sebastian Bach · 1748–49 · F♯ minor · 251 bars · 305 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.
