A Listener's Guide to His Choral Music??? introduces the general listener to a genre of music that is mistakenly supposed to be difficult. A vivid biographical sketch of Bach's life and times provides the necessary background.

Studies of the two great oratorios the St John Passion and the St. Matthew Passion follow together with a detailed analysis of what Bach himself probably thought to be his finest work the Mass in B Minor. ???The book is accompanied by a 75-minute CD featuring complete tracks from five of the finest cantatas as well as several tracks from the two Passions the Mass and Magnifcat.
