Composed by Anton Bruckner. Arranged by Rob Bushnell. Christian,Praise & Worship,Religious,Romantic Period,Sacred. 11 pages. Rob Bushnell #6458909. Published by Rob Bushnell (A0.752445)."Locus iste" is a sacred motet composed by Anton Bruckner on 11 August 1869. The Latin text is used for the annual celebration of a church's dedication. The incipit translates to "This place was made by God", with the text concentrating on the concept of the sacred place, based on the Biblical story of Jacob's Ladder, Jacob's saying "Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not" (Genesis 28:16), and the story of the burning bush where Moses is told "put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground" (Exodus 3:5).
Bruckner set it for four unaccompanied voices, intended for the dedication of the Votivkapelle at the New Cathedral in Linz, Austria, where Bruckner had been a cathedral organist from 1855 to 1868. It was the first motet that Bruckner composed in Vienna. It was published in 1886, together with three other gradual motets, and was premiered on 29 October 1869.
Arranged for SATB Saxophone Quartet, a recording of the original motet can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQRYwe4KDDQ.
