EX CATHEDRA | Inspiring singing

BACH - MASS IN B MINOR

A small product of the skill I have attained in Musique” wrote Bach as he sent two of the movements to the court of Dresden. That’s quite the job application, and rather an understatement! What an epic work it is, showcasing supreme mastery and a profound beauty that resonates deeply within us - the perfect way to start your Christmas season.
