Baroque - Mass

Mass in the Baroque era.


Up until the Baroque era, Mass was unaccompanied. As the Baroque era came into play, the Mass was accompanied by instruments, and as you would expect from the Baroque era, a Basso Continuo.

Here is an Agnus Dei part from Bach's famous B Minor Mass:

Here you can follow the music as the piece progresses, and you can see the lyrics.

The words of the Mass stayed the same: Remember your six mass parts?

• Gloria 
• Kyrie Eleison
• Credo, 
• Sanctus, 
• Benedictus
• Agnus Dei
