Herz Jesu-Lied ("Song of the Heart of Jesus"), WAB 144, is the second of two motets of uncertain authorship. If actually by Anton Bruckner, it was composed presumably in 1845-1846.[1]
History
If Bruckner was the composer, he composed the motet in 1845–46 during his stay in St. Florian Abbey. The text is a hymn to the Sacred Heart.
The motet was first published in band II/2, pp. 11-12 of the Göllerich/Auer biography. [1] The work is put in Band XXI/11 of the Gesamtausgabe.[2]
Music
Aus allen Herzen Eines, |
Of all hearts One |
The work of 24-bar in B-flat major, which is scored for mixed choir and organ, contains two short passages for tenor and bass soloists, and soprano soloist, respectively, and ends with an organ postlude.[1]
