At the time Bach worked as a Lutheran church musician in Leipzig, but he composed the mass for the Catholic court in Dresden. The Mass (or in Latin: Missa) consists of a Kyrie in three movements and a Gloria in nine movements, and is an unusually extended work scored for SSATB soloists and choir, and an orchestra with a broad winds section. It seems not very likely the work was ever performed during Bach's lifetime. After reusing some of its music in a cantata he composed around 1745 (BWV 191), Bach finally incorporated this Kyrie–Gloria Mass as first part of four in his Mass in B minor, composed/assembled in the last years of his life, around 1748–1749. The Kyrie–Gloria Mass for the Dresden court was not assigned a separate number in the BWV catalogue, but in order to distinguish it from the later complete mass (), numbers like and are in use.〔 In 2005 Bärenreiter published the 1733 version of the Missa as , in the Neue Bach-Ausgabe series.〔 The work is also referred to as '〔 or "The ''Missa'' of 1733".〔 == History == Bach was a Lutheran church musician, devoted to the composition of sacred music in German. He wrote more than 200 cantatas for the liturgy, most of them in Leipzig from 1723 to 1726 at the beginning of his tenure as ''Thomaskantor'', responsible for the music at the major churches. In Leipzig, music on the traditional Latin texts were performed on holidays. Bach composed works on Latin texts, for example a Magnificat in 1723, performed both on the Marian feast Visitation and Christmas that year, and in 1724 a Sanctus for Christmas, which he later integrated into his Mass in B minor.〔〔 Both works were exceptional setting, the Magnificat extended and for five vocal parts, the Sanctus for six voices, while four-part singing was common in Leipzig.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mass for the Dresden court (Bach)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
