Christus factus est - Bruckner 

I am a Japanese Brucknerian The wonderfulness of this music is off the charts , and far superior splendor, full of admiration and emotion, and comfortable to the ear and the soul

I sang this as a soprano in my choir, and I really appreciate the wide range required to sing it, and how singeable it is

Amo a Bruckner. Con mi coro el Coro Polifónico Nacional de ARgentina haremos la misa numero 2 en mi menor con la maravillosa directora invitada Virginia Bono. Una obra sublime , e inspiradora, logra Bruckner con su genialidad hablar con la música. Una de las bendiciones de esta vida. Gracias música, gracias vida!!

I think this is one of the best bass lines ever written. Fantastic

Beautiful. I'd forgotten how dramatic this piece is. My days as a treble chorister are two decades behind me now.

Gorgeous :) anyone else here because of PTX? I love how they transpose it down, it's absolutely heavenly

Practicing this, immediately recognised the voices and noticed it is Bristol Cathedral Choir! Was a prob when I was in the choir when this was done! Was on the front cover even though I didn't sing on it. Left 3 years ago, feels like yesterday!

absolutely love this song. It was my favorite song i've ever sung in a choir.

I'm not a fan of Bruckner's symphonies but I love his choral works. I performed this piece with the U of Penn Chorus/

Esplendido, siempre me gustó esta obra. Este compositor tiene obras, muy buenas.El Ave Maria es bellísima!!!! Muchas gracias, y buenas noches.🌿

love this piece so much. Did it last year, probably one of the more difficult pieces our HS choir has done.

I sang this as a soprano when I was visiting worcester this august with my choir and I love this piece

Love that alto line so much. Bruckner wrote beautiful music for altos. I love this piece so much.

man, that piece (and this performance) is utterly divine. Really really hard to stop playing that ending over and over and over! Thanks for uploading :-)

This piece of music (christus factus est), nomatter what time or season, oozes meaning of the crucifixion. Thankyou to kings college.

Love Bruckner's Motets, especially this one. Bravo for Bristol Cathedral Choir. So beautiful!

Very nicely sung. Well done Bristol Cathedral Choir. Thanks.

Que obra tan ESPECTACULAR!!!!... por Dios... ¿Saben lo complicado para un coro que és estar cambiando a cada 3 o 4 compases de referente tonal? Que belleza... nada que hacer!!! Y Bruckner... se lleva los laureles con esta composición!!!

This piece sounds absolutely amazing transposed to C-minor.

Trying to pick out the alto part is always sooooo much fun haha. Finding good recordings to practice with is an adventure

Very good and a very lovely piece to sing!

beautiful!!!thank you...

If angels in Heaven won't sing this every day, then I'm going to have a problem...

This is my favorite song ever! I instantly fell in love! Sopranos

This makes a stunning Palm Sunday anthem.

Thank you Pentatonix. I adore this music.

amazing song! my favourite one to sing =)

THANK YOU!!...

00:53 All it takes is one bass to sing a Gb instead of an F and the whole section sounds off. (shakes head)

I don't understand the strange gaps before 'exultavit' etc. Otherwise this is a really nice performance. I love the boys voices in the descending phrases. Also the tuning of the altos.. It gets more and more beautiful towards the end.

WONDERFUL

You need to hear Pentatonix sing this before their aha song. AMAZING!

Quod est ‘just super’!

It reminds me a lot of when hearing the best of Thomas Tallis.

so i was playing this video game called devil may cry and im at the final boss which, in all seriousness, is satan. i usually play it with random music playing in the background from my computer. suddenly this piece by anton bruckner comes up out of nowhere. not realizing it at first i start winning against satan... so christus factus est just saved my butt from a demon. thank you Jesus for helping me beat the game :D

sublime! Opera D'argento Gateshead- sillver group of which I am a member - are doing Locus Iste.

Well, very cool!

@AliFyre Same here, but now I get to sing it as a bass. It is very fun.

0:37 Hey, this is stolen from Bruckners 8th symphony! Uh, wait...

The meaning is quite moving

Although I love low notes, in this kind of motet a simple chord like that sounds good.

Christus gestern , heute ... und in Ewigkeit AMEN

Yes it's lovely, but it would be lovelier if the basses had sung what Bruckner wrote in bar 36. :-)

what a gem the durufle is! it really sticks in the memory. beautifully sung too.

Esos bajos!

Is there any performance with noticeable d2 at the end you've ever seen on YT ?

I sang this piece with Bristol Cathedral Choir, for the first ordination of women priests live on tv thanks for uploading

danke

eu gostei do video *-*

I'm no fan of Bruckner or his time. But this is a gorgeous piece.

Allways a great song. Especially sung with a lot of dynamic. Great. For my taste it could be a bit faster. Only a bit.

was this intended to be sung in a cathedral or basilica with significant echo? it sounds very different when done in a closed room - and not as good

He means Italian pronunciation of the Latin I think. Usually choirs do it with German Latin to be more true to the historical context when Bruckner composed these, and the choir(s) that would have initially sung them in late 19th-cent. Austria

Es gibt nichts Schoeneres und Edles in der Welt als die Mutterliebe.

I sang this in Bristol Cathedral on a live broadcast of the first ordination of women in the church of England...LOL

qué pasada

Bravo je le chante à Bonifacio Corse mais des notes qui change. Le Ghrite de Rossini

Ni tan siquiera un amante del barroco y normalmente reacio a otros estilos como yo puede negar la belleza absoluta de esta pieza en la que no haría otra cosa que postrarme no a los pies de Dios, sino a los de A.Bruckner.

Dear friend: How I envy you your knowledge of Latin and admire your understanding of grammar. The original the Vulgate translates is thus: [transliterated first in case the following Greek font doesn't make it through] etapeinOsen heauton genomenos uphkoos mechri thanatou, thanatou de staurou 9 dia kai ho theos auton uperupsOse kai echarisato autO onoma to huper pan onoma.

the Dvorak? If so, yes it is.

basses at bar 7 :o

I didn't even hear the bass interval in the end

It's beautifully sung, but one soprano is shouting in my ear so loudly at high notes I fear deafness. Pity.

was this the album with the d major mass?

Very good singin although the trebles are quite quiet...

Why there is break between "deus" and "exaltavit"? I guess it was not bec. of page turn?

😔🍏💙

favorite non english peice for all-state this year (=

Anyone else here from PTX?

Dynamics?

@tee25horse mine too :D

not bad, only I have to agree with those saying that a soprano is singing like a solo soprano, not with the section, and plus, tenor voice's quality is not one of the best

NO low D at the end. Or i'm deaf

SMCS :D

@tee25horse me to. it owns

is it not like the music of today?!

Les Bonifaciens serait ravis

"Christ was made obedient" is the best. "Factus" is the perfect passive participle of the verb meaning "to do" or "to make" translated "having been made" and the addition of "est" makes it absurdly literally say, "He is in the state of having been made." In English we make it the perfect passive or, "He was made." "Obediens" is the present participle of the verb meaning "to obey" which takes on the sense of an adjective. Hence "obedient." "Oboedientia" is the word for obedience.

Boy trebles? I think so but not sure

i think the sopranos sound like children cuz they are children!

☕🍍🇭🇳✌️💜

bez komentarza...

I know, so should be pronounced in Latin, not Italian. You know exactly what I mean. it Latin "c" is not "tch" for example.

Les mêmes paroles faites de la pub sur radio 📻 Corse

I'd suggest "[Christus] factus [est pro nobis] obediens" may be better translated as "Christ is made for us obedience" (though the bracketed words are added to the original Scripture from Philippins 2:8-9 in the Latin Vulgate (see live.e-sword.net/app/) "... [Christus] factus [est pro nobis] oboediens usque ad mortem mortem autem crucis 9 propter quod et Deus illum exaltavit et donavit illi nomen super omne nomen"

I can perfectly hear a low G contra in Russian choirs... alas, this is not a Russian choir.

Lovely song but if the altos from my choir would have saw this? Nope😂

Schitterende koorzang van de Laurenscantorij Rotterdam

Bravo, maestro Bruckner. The final cadence is just scummy!

Many of the pp in the script is nowhere to be heard (e.g. "usque" is supposed to be pianissimo but is mf at best. The following "mortem" by the should be forte but is at about the same mf level.) . Half of the consonants are missing (e.g,. the d in "quod") Also strange semi Italian pronunciation.

sorry, but I don't agree with you in this point. You're right, they're singing it wrong (They do a lot of things wrong, like breaks at places without break, bad "e"-s, too loud sopranos who sound like children, weak Alt, Tenor and Bassbecause it's Latin and not Italian. But there is a third version.The Latin with the "ts" is called church Latin. And church Latin is MUCH better to sing than the normal one.

its too low for us to hear or too soft

of course italian pronunciation.

This choir doesn't contain true basses that can hit low D easily, /watch?v=Y10y7ycD1cU

Daran merkt man, dass die Sänger kein Latein gelernt haben, sondern nur stumm den Text "runter labern" - falsche Aussprache und teilweise falsche Betonung ... singen ist nicht alles - und falsche Tonart - hier wird ein halber Ton tiefer angestimmt, oder aber mit a = 400hz gearbeitet ... :( schade

Italian?!? No, it's Latin.

I can't stand Bruckner; however, his motets are a different story and this is probably my favorite!

Beka w chuj

Have the tenors got something big stuck in their throats? ugly ugly sound, and too much screaming overall...
