“The greatest work of art the world has ever seen” – this is what Carl Friedrich Zelter said in 1811, not about Da Vinci’s portrait of the Mona Lisa, but about Bach’s opus magnum of church music, which today is called “Mass in B minor”. is known. But how did it come about that the Protestant Leipzig Thomaskantor crowned his vocal oeuvre with a Latin “great catholic mass”, as the work was titled in his son Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach’s list of estates in 1790? This question is still open today. In any case, the monumental layout of the Mass goes beyond the scope of both the Catholic and the Protestant services of the time. But it can undoubtedly be regarded as the "summa" of Bach's church music work. Kyrie and Gloria were written as Missa brevis in 1733. In 1748/49 Bach added the Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei to the complete cycle of measurements. He had the Sanctus in its original form
Composed a quarter of a century earlier, he also picked up a number of cantatas from different creative periods. Nevertheless, the Mass in B minor is much more than a "best of" compilation. On the one hand, Bach also composed some new music, on the other hand, he edited the existing templates in such a way that they became an integral part of the work.
See "The Greatest Work of Art in the World"? That would be possible after the renovation of the Berlin State Library, or of course on the Internet. But first and foremost you have to hear this work of art, over and over again, and the series dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach offers the best opportunity for this.

English

Das grösste Kunstwerk, das die Welt je gesehen hat» – so äusserte sich anno 1811 Carl Friedrich Zelter nicht etwa über Da Vincis Bildnis der Mona Lisa, sondern über Bachs kirchenmusikalisches opus magnum, das heute unter dem Namen «Messe in h-moll» bekannt ist. Wie aber kam es, dass der protestantische Leipziger Thomaskantor sein Vokalschaffen ausgerechnet mit einer lateinischen «grossen catholischen Messe«, so der Werktitel im Nachlassverzeichnis seines Sohnes Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach von 1790, krönte? Diese Frage ist bis heute offen. Die monumentale Anlage der Messe sprengt jedenfalls den Rahmen sowohl des katholischen als auch des protestantischen Gottesdienstes jener Zeit. Doch kann sie fraglos als «summa» von Bachs kirchen- musikalischem Schaffen gelten. Kyrie und Gloria entstanden bereits 1733 als Missa brevis. 1748/49 erweiterte sie Bach dann um das Credo, Sanctus und Agnus Dei zum kompletten Messzyklus. Das Sanctus hatte er zwar in seiner ursprünglichen Form ein
Vierteljahrhundert früher komponiert, des weiteren griff er eine Reihe von Kantaten- sätzen aus verschiedenen Schaffensperio- den auf. Dennoch ist die Messe in h-moll weit mehr als eine «best of»-Kompilation. Denn zum einen komponierte Bach auch einige neue Musik, zum anderen bearbei- tete er die vorhandenen Vorlagen so, dass sie zu integralen Bestandteilen des Werks wurden.
«Das grösste Kunstwerk der Welt» sehen? Das ginge nach dem Umbau der Staatsbiblio- thek Berlin, oder natürlich im Internet. Doch muss man dieses Kunstwerk in erster Linie hören, immer wieder von Neuem, und dafür bietet die Johann Sebastian Bach gewidmete Reihe die beste Gelegenheit.
