One of the most beautiful pieces of worship music performed in a minor key.

Great recording . I love the idea that Mr Blomstedt is still conducting at 97 years of age :) oldest conductor in the world

This is one of the most beautiful movements ever written but it is too short! Why could it not have been the length of the opening Kyrie? It is only just beginning to get going and then it stops.😢 I know Bach could have done a lot more with this theme. If I had been the dedicatee, I would have asked him to extend it.

@sun.sneezer Ай бұрын

it's a great question, makes you wonder how he interpreted the emotional power of his own compositions.. one would think he would extend this to maximize the power of the subjects, answers, structure... maybe he was just pressed for time and forgot about it later 🤣or wasn't being paid enough...

It does actually happen twice in the mass- the same music for the Gatias Agimus Tibi.

@@mcmanustonyYes indeed. It makes me wonder whether there was insufficient time to write a concluding movement as there is no obvious connection between the two sets of words "We give thanks to Thee for thy great glory" and "Grant us peace". Bach's setting of the Magnificat repeats the music of the opening movement in the closing one "As it was in the beginning ..." so there's an obvious textual justification as well as a nice symmetry. Vivaldi conpletes his famois Gloria by repeating the music for the opening for the words "Quoniam tu solus sanctus" ("For thou only art holy"). Mozart left instructions for the closing words of his Requiem, "Cum sanctis tuis" to repeat the music of the "Kyrie" fugue close to the beginning but musicologists can only speculate as to his motives. In the B minor mass, there is neither opening and closing symmetry nor textual connection to justify reusing this fugue. Subjectively, I think the music does suit the "Dona nobis pacem" text better (in contrast to Mozart's Requiem where the earlier Kyrie words are to be preferred). As a work on this scale could surely never have been intended for liturgical performance (unlike the "Magnificat" which also has a truncated fugue, "Sicut locutus est" to avoid inordinate length), there is no obvious reason for the brevity of the final fugue nor an obvious reason for reusing earlier music from the middle of the work.
