Description:
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote five total Kyrie-Gloria Masses (Missa brevis) over the course of his lifetime, the 1733 Missa, BWV 232 which was later incorporated into the MASS in B minor, and BWV 233-236. The MASS in F Major, BWV 233, borrows a great deal from his earlier cantatas to act as the basis of most of the six movements. 1. The Kyrie eleison borrows from KYRIE in F Major, BWV 233a.; 2. The Gloria in excelsis is original. 3. The Domine Deus is based on part of the lost cantata FROHER TAG, VERLANGTE STUNDEN, BWV Anh. 18 (No. 6).; 4. The Qui tollis is based on the sinfonia from HERR, DEINE AUGEN SEHEN NACH DEM GLAUBEN, BWV 102 (No. 3).; 5. The Quoniam borrows from the sinfonia from HERR, DEINE AUGEN SEHEN NACH DEM GLAUBEN, BWV 102 (No. 5).; 6. The Cum sancto Spiritu is based on the first movement from DAZU IST ERSCHIENEN DER SOHN GOTTES, BWV 40 (No. 1). While it is uncertain, this Mass may have been first performed on Good Friday, April 6, 1708. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (2.2.2.1.1 in set): [Hpchd]: Solo SATB: Mix Chorus. This reprint of the Moritz Hauptmann edition was created originally for the 1858 Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe.
