Bach's Mass in B minor was composed in 1748-1749, shortly before his death and after the completion of the Art of Fugue. The work is a true masterpiece of concentrated compositional technique. In some passages, Bach's handwriting testifies to the effort that the composer put into this late work. Hans Nägeli, in 1818, already regarded the Mass as the "greatest musical artwork of all time and all nations," and it has been regarded as an icon of music history ever since.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
