Peet du Toit #6207469. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802651). Locus iste (English: This place), WAB 23, is a sacred motet composed by Anton Bruckner in 1869. The text is the Latin gradual Locus iste for the annual celebration of a church's dedication. The incipit, Locus iste a Deo factus est, translates to "This place was made by God". Bruckner set it for four unaccompanied voices, intended for the dedication of the Votivkapelle (votive chapel) at the New Cathedral in Linz, Austria, where Bruckner had been a cathedral organist. It was the first motet that Bruckner composed in Vienna. It was published in 1886, together with three other gradual motets.As a composition with no obvious technical difficulty, it has been performed by church choirs and by professionals, often to celebrate church dedications.Bruckner composed Locus iste on 11 August 1869. It was intended for the dedication ceremony of the Votivkapelle (votive chapel [de]) at the New Cathedral in Linz, Austria. The New Cathedral was under construction since 1862, and the Votivkapelle was completed in 1869 as its first section. The Latin text of Locus iste is the gradual Locus iste, part of the proper of the mass for Kirchweih, the anniversary of a church's dedication. Bruckner dedicated the work to Oddo Loidol, one of his students at the Vienna Conservatory. It was Bruckner's first motet composed in Vienna.Here is my orchestration for a brass quartet in a slightly faster tempo, taking breathing and long phrases into account, and making it more accessible for the younger intermediate players. It is not difficult to read, but requires musical depth and comprehension of the setting and the reason for which it was composed. Enjoy!
