FTP, identify this Johann Sebastian Bach mass in a key with two sharps.
Robert King's 1996 version, rare in that it uses boys instead of women for the alto and two soprano roles, and Nicholas Harnoncourt's 1968 one, the first modern one to use period instruments, are two of the most popular recordings of this piece. The E minor passacaglia that comprises a "Crucifixus" and a fugue that forms an "Et Expecto," both contained in its second section, the Symbolum Nicenum, are examples of numerous pieces from it that were recycled from earlier works of the composer. This work was an expansion from an initial Kyrie and Gloria, and its four sections were completed and performed separately, with its final parts being completed in 1749 and standing with the unfinished The Art of the Fugue as one of its composer's final works.
