About This Song
About "Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 "Hohe Messe": No. 4 Aria: Agnus Dei" by David Wilson Johnson
Bach's Agnus Dei becomes a plea carved from candlelight, Wilson-Johnson's bass-baritone wrapping the Latin text in velvet gravity. The strings hover like breath on glass—tender, unconsoled—while the aria's quiet architecture holds a grief too vast for the room it fills.
