The B minor Mass means so much to so many. But can our singers boil this masterpiece down to just one word? In a recent rehearsal, we asked our singers to do this – and while they certainly found it difficult, they gave some wonderful answers. Here’s what they came up with. How would you sum up this masterpiece in a word?
If you’re yet to experience the B minor Mass, make sure you listen to our podcast episode about this masterful piece. We’ll perform it on Tuesday 26 May at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall as a part of our celebratory 150th anniversary season – we gave the UK premiere of this work back in 1876, which is what kickstarted our journey as a choir! Book your tickets here and join the celebrations.
