"...a most welcome attempt to sum up the main results of recent scholarship on the B Minor Mass. Designed mainly for nonspecialists it presents a concise and up-to-date account of Bach's monumental work that will be of use to students, teachers, and music lovers alike." Peter Wollny, Notes, '… outstanding. Into a mere 100 lucid pages, this most stimulating of our younger Bach scholar-performers has managed to pack accounts of the work's background, composition and reception history … this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, '... outstanding. Into a mere 100 lucid pages, this most stimulating of our younger Bach scholar-performers has managed to pack accounts of the work's background, composition and reception history ... this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, ' ¿ this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.¿ Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, "...this book fulfills its purpose admirably. For the concert-goer, it provides a lucid guide to one of the pillars of western music. For the serious student or choral conductor, it furnishes an introduction to the glories and the mysteries of what is arguably Bach's greatest single work." John Devorick, The Choral Journal, "While the book has numerous virtues--such as up-to-date assessments of why Bach created the Mass, and of how he used pre-existing pieces to do so--an even finer kind of writing emerges when Butt takes us into the composer's workshop." Fanfare, ‘… outstanding. Into a mere 100 lucid pages, this most stimulating of our younger Bach scholar-performers has managed to pack accounts of the work’s background, composition and reception history … this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.’Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, ‘ … this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.’Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, ' ... this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.'Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, '... outstanding.

Index) on the Mass in B minor is an absolute MUST for anyone who wants to know about this remarkable piece in every particular.' London Bach Society, ' … this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine
