Locus Iste | Anton Bruckner
Locus Iste is a composition of 1869 made by one of my favorite musicians of all time, Anton Bruckner. It was written to be interpreted as a mixed choir with four voices, soprano, contralto, tenor and bass, and can be translated as Sacred Sacred Place. The same composer dedicated it to the Votive Chapel (Votivkapelle), of the New Cathedral of Linz in Austria.
Anton Bruckner was organist in this beautiful place, where he composed his most passionate harmonies dedicated to God, the Virgin Mary and to everything religious. It is not strange that he has composed this dedication to a place that filled him with so much peace, the same peace that he transmits when he listens to this piece of music from the romantic period.
This being the first motet he composed in Vienna, Austria, he premiered it in 1886 along with three others, using the ABA da capo structure, with the use of motifs as a building block. The Latin letter is:
Votive chapel for King Ludwig of Bavaria, Germany
