BACH B Minor Mass

Saturday 6 November, 7.30pm
Auckland Town Hall
 
Bach’s B Minor Mass, written over a period of 25 years, marks the pinnacle of his achievement as a composer of choral music. The work embraces a variety of musical styles in its epic progress from the majestic opening Kyrie to the final gripping Dona nobis pacem fugue. Along the way we encounter virtuoso arias, great ceremonial choruses and music unmatched in its richness and complexity in the entire history of Western music. Auckland Choral combines with Musica Sacra and a team of specialist soloists to create the most spine-tingling choral experience of the year.
