Info for Bruckner Motets

The Chorus sine nomine, founded in 1991 by Johannes Hiemetsberger, is one of Austria's most distinguished and innovative concert choirs. On this album, the choir presents motets by Anton Bruckner. Bruckner simply called them sacred choruses, as the occasion for their composition is usually related to a liturgical occasion. The six works on the album correspond to such liturgical occasions: Graduale (Christus factus est, Locus iste, Os justi, Virga Jesse), Offertorium (Ave Maria) and a hymn for the Good Friday liturgy (Vexilla regis). As an organist, Bruckner was admired above all for his improvisations, in which he demonstrated his technical skill in fugue and imitation. In the fugal parts of his improvisations, he orientated himself stylistically on baroque patterns (e.g. Handel), while in other, more imaginative parts, the tonal language of his organ playing became increasingly typical of Bruckner. Martin Haselböck establishes this connection to Bruckner with his organ improvisations.
