MCM - Masterworks of Choral Music
– Staffelpreis auf Anfrage –
The text of the Passion hymn Vexilla regis, dating back to the mediaeval bishop and poet Venantius Fortunatus, is chronologically the last of Anton Bruckner’s shorter church music choral works. Structured as a hymn in simple strophic form, the composition nevertheless develops an intense musical density. The effective use of dynamic extremes provides the final element in highlighting the painfully transfigured character of the composition. The motet is a gem in the choral repertoire for Holy Week and an expression of the deep personal piety of Anton Bruckner, who, as he himself wrote, wished it to be seen as “composed purely from the dictates of the heart”.
