Mass in Minor B
Johann Sebastian live, popularly cognize as bach, was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist, and was regarded as the supreme composer of the Baroque and one of the best of solely time. His contri unlessions are secular doings for the choir, orchestra and solo instruments. Though he didnt introduced new forms and he enriched the German look of music through a contrapuntal technique and adaptations of rhythm, forms and textures from other countries such as Italy and France. His musical comedy style arose from the influences of the South German, North German, Italian and French music.During his time, Bach was popularly know on being on one extreme end of the spectrum, nonating closely majority of the details of his melodic lines, piece of musicicularly in his fast efforts. He preferred dense contrapuntal textures which allowed lesser margin for the variation of his musical lines. Bachs contrapuntal textures involve the tendency to be more cumula tive than those of other composers before and nowadays. Noticeably, his harmony tends to use a brief tonicisation or a subtle reference to another key that lasts only a roughly beats at the longest. He also favored the supertonic to add colour in to his musical texture.Mass in Minor B Mass in B Minor is a complete musical setting in Latin Mass by Johann Sebastian Bach.
