Description:
In addition to the Mass in B minor, Bach is known to have composed four other, smaller masses, the so-called Lutheran or Kyrie Gloria masses. Despite their high musical qualities, they are often overshadowed by Bach's other church works. With their six-movement structure (up to "Cum sancto spiritu"), they had their specific liturgical position in the church service of Bach's time. The masses consist for the most part of parodies, the original music of which mostly comes from cantatas and which Bach reworked in the familiar manner - in some cases considerably - to suit the new context of the work. Ulrich Leisinger has published the four works for Carus in new critical editions.
