I am trying to figure out which to buy, J.S. Bach's Mass in B Minor, St.
Matthew's Passion, or St. Luke's Passion.  I have never been overly fond
of choral works, but in the past year I have been getting more into them.

Before I lay out $25 to $45 dollars for these, I want to be sure that I am
getting a work that I will enjoy listening to.  In this case, that means that
I want one of the above works that has the MOST joyous music (i.e. jubilant
fanfares and choruses).  The more in the work, the better.  Please post
or send me mail.  Thanks.
