  • 4. Franzoesischer Dom Berlin
    Französischer Dom is the colloquial designation for the French Church of Friedrichstadt located in Berlin on the Gendarmenmarkt across from the Deutscher Dom , formerly a church of German-speaking congregants.

At the same time, Bach was forward-looking, incorporating and distilling modern baroque musical forms, such as the French-style chorale.The work has the form of an Organ Mass: between its opening and closing movements—the prelude and St Anne fugue in E♭ major, BW...
