b minor Mass - Take two.

Gloria - Cum Sancto Spiritu - D Major
This was very melismatic, fast, and light.
It sounded like it was starting like a concerto form, but then turned into a vocal fugue. "With the Holy Spirit"

Credo - Credo in unum Deum - A Major
The style is like Stile Antiquo (from Renaissance)
A little big of gregorian chant is infused.
I like how the instruments inmitate the vocal line. I think this is like what they do in Da Chiesa style.
(Dr. Pierce's "Add-in": Bach used contrapuctal and ostinato figures when text meant "keeping the faith." It was one of Bach's tools.

Credo - Et in unum Dominum - G Major
"And in One Lord (Jesus Christ)"
Da Capo Aria love text
Soprano and Alto Duet, first introduced by two oboes.
Neapolitan Opera (from Naples) - Oboe D'Amore
Bach never wrote an Opera, but his text and music are very dramatic at times, and this piece was an example of that

Credo - Crucifixus - e minor
"The Crucifix"
I hear the low pulsating basso ostinato. The heavy minor tone really reflects the suffering of Jesus. I hear soprano sustane on a high pitch, which I interpret as the wailing of Mary and Mary Magdaline.

---
"weeping wailing breathing"
There is a long desent of tone and pitch until it reaches its lowest point. Then, as in the angels in heaven, there is an explosion of sound from everybody: Brass, strings, woodwinds, chorus... at a happy fortissimo. Again, Bach is very dramatic with his tone painting. Great job, Bach.
