Product Description
Christus factus est is written for eight-part mixed chorus, 3 trombones, 4 violins, 2 viola, 2 violoncello, and 1 contrabass. It was composed at the same time as his Third Symphony and similar influences season both compositions, such as the d-minor key, use of pedal tone, contrapuntal passages, use of suspensions and abrupt changes in musical character. It was first performed by the highly qualified musicians of the Vienna Hofmusikkapelle (court musical ensemble), one of the oldest and most distinguished musical institutions in Europe, on December 8, 1873. This edition, by Dr. Jay Dougherty, presents a usable version in modern notation. Of note is that Bruckner has two compositions by this same title. WAB 11 (1884) is far more common. This version, WAB 10 (1873) is his more unknown setting. Vocal scores and instrument scores are available with proof of purchase (at no extra charge) from www.jmdougherty.com (use the contact link).
