the Kyrie-Gloria Mass, 1733

S. Bach, from the dedication of the Kyrie-Gloria Mass, 1733 On Easter Sunday this month, the Gloria of the Divine Liturgy will return after its omission for the penitential season of Lent. This seems to be a fitting time for another installment in our “B Minor Basics” series, focusing on the last four movements of the Gloria.
