- Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 - 11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer known for his symphonies, masses, and motets. The first are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, strongly polyphonic character, and considerable length. Bruckner's compositions helped to define contemporary musical radicalism, owing to their dissonances, unprepared modulations, and roving harmonies.

The Mass No. 2 in E minor, WAB 27, by Anton Bruckner is a setting of the mass ordinary for eight-part mixed choir and wind band (2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets and 3 trombones)
The bishop of Linz, Franz-Josef Rudigier, had already commissioned a Festive cantata from Bruckner in 1862 to celebrate the laying of the foundation stone of the new cathedral, the Maria-Empfängnis-Dom. In 1866, he asked Bruckner for a mass to celebrate the accomplishment of the construction of the Votive Chapel of the new cathedral. Because of a delay in completing the construction, the celebration of the dedication didn't take place until three years later, on 29 September 1869.
Bruckner subjected the work to far-reaching revision in 1869, 1876, and 1882. The second version of 1882 was performed on 4 October 1885 in the Alter Dom, Linz.
The piece is based strongly on old-church music tradition, and particularly old Gregorian style singing. The Kyrie is almost entirely made up of a cappella singing for eight voices. The Gloria ends with a fugue, as in Bruckner's other masses. In the Sanctus, Bruckner uses a theme from Palestrina's Missa Brevis.
According to the Catholic practice - as also in Bruckner’s preceding Missa solemnis and Mass No. 1 - the first verse of the Gloria and the Credo is not composed and has to be intoned by the priest in Gregorian mode before the choir goes on.
Previously Bruckner had been criticized for "simply writing symphonies with liturgical text," and although the Cecilians were not entirely happy with the inclusion of wind instruments, "Franz Xaver Witt loved it, no doubt rationalizing the use of wind instruments as necessary under the circumstances of outdoor performance for which Bruckner wrote the piece." "The Mass in E minor ... is a work without parallel in either 19th- or 20th-century church music."
Hollywood composers owe Bruckner big-time!
Sure, but that‘s more obvious from his F-Major mass
This mass changed my life. I never could get really into Bruckner in many areas for whatever reason. But this is music that moves mountains. It briefly lifts the soul into the heavens to glimpse just a speckle of radiant light. What divine art! (and I'm not religious)
In my case this mass and the three exemplary masses by Byrd.
The emotion and greatness of Mass No 2 are unfathomable, and immeasurable

lol I am also in choral lit 2 right now
My choir is singing this piece right now. It’s absolutely beautiful and I fall more in love with it every time we rehearse.
I had to sight sing this because I was a fool and didnt learn it ahead of time. Its written so well you can feel it. I regretted not learning it ahead because it's just so beautiful.
02:17 WOW, heartbreaking. It's just beautiful.
The most beautiful mass!
And Bach's??
I sang this while in graduate school under David Thorsen and it was life-changing.
25:18 best chord ever - gives me shivers every time
Is it a minor fourth grade with a minor seventh?
@@Ivan_1791 It's actually a so-called German 6/5 or Augmented 6/5 chord. Raised fourth degree (f# in C min.) with seventh. It sounds the same (but written differently) as Ab Dominant Seventh Chord, but solves different (to G, dominant of C, instead of Db). Hope it's clear : )
@@PatPixs Yeah, now I can hear it with no trouble, that time I didn't know very well about those chords.
Je découvre, non pas un simple compositeur du 19e siècle parmi tant d'autres mais vraiment un Géant de la musique qui, pour moi, est aussi grand que Beethoven... Quelles richesses harmoniques dans ses 9 symphonies mais alors sa musique sacrée.... Quelle puissance de vie, de joie, et de foi...
Oui j'aimerais me rendre sur la tombe de Bruckner dans la basilique Saint Florian de Linz le 4 septembre 2024 pour le bicentenaire de sa naissance car je voue une profonde admiration à ce compositeur autrichien.
Oha! So nah an einem Komponisten war ich noch nie. Danke für meine Lieblingsmesse. Ich habe das nicht erwartet. Bin geradezu sprachlos ob der Komposition der Musik und der Noten... Mir mangeln die Worte... DANKE!
Je reste ébloui et fasciné par tant de beauté. Cette messe est peut-être la composition la plus parfaite de Bruckner.
Cette messe n est pas comme les autres...Elle est sublime et mysterieuse dans le sens le plus fort et liturgique du terme...mystique meme...
Tu as absolument raison ! Je le sens moi aussi.
4:21. At this moment, i feel i am in the paradise.
MAgic!
Unforgettable.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for posting! Singing this soon (Interlochen, USA, summer 2017), and it's great to hear how it's sung, and to have the SCORE also! :-)
i was in the allstate choir at interlochen in 1965. it was one of the greatest experiences of my life!
Thank you! A treat to see the score, too.
grandioso como todo lo del maestro y espectacular su propia partitura manuscrita
The Kyrie of this Mass terrifies me. When the sopranos come in at 6:18. Frightening.
Sensitive !
Beautifully done.
Should have 10000000 likes!
Pure & reverent.
my favorite mass
Amber Ianetti Have you heard Gabriel Faure's Requiem ?
I love Saint-Saens' Mass also.
@Amber Ianetti That's for me too ☺️
15:31 always sounds so triumphant. It triggers something in my brain and I love it.
21:30 also
Thank you. The Portland Symphonic Choir is doing this Wednesday night, August 15. This is my opportunity to see what they are doing before "attempting" to join in. I had never heard it, and it is beautiful.
Nice. I live in Oregon and know that choir. If I had known about that date I would've gone to hear them.
Beginning work on this piece for a May performance in New York City. Seeing the original score is a treat.
Thanks. i enjoyed croaking along to the bass II part.
Thank you for posting. Wonderful!
Wonderful!
WONDERFUL!
35:45 Incredible! One of Bruckner’s most intense moments. Anyone who thinks Bruckner is “cold” or “emotionless” needs to hear this.
Danke!!!!
Our choir will sing this mass this year on 11-18 10:30 am in the Jesuitenkirche in Vienna.

Excellent performance of this interesting piece. A question: whose pencil markings (red and other colors) are on the displayed score?
They're probably just from the original owner of the print.
That's not a print. It's a handwritten score.
Credo 15:52
Gran obra de un genio universal como Bruckner siempre lo admiraré!
Super opportunity to read and listen. The Credo Antiphone or whatever it is called sounds different from what You offer as sheet music. Is there a reason? Anyway thank You very much.
The reason is simple, had not the original but still wanted to post a version. Nice you noticed. Keep'the listener on their toes, not?
@Bartje Bartmans Is this Bruckner's own handwriting (sorry, I couldn't find any information on that anywhere)? It's wonderful.
Yes it's Bruckner's manuscript in his own handwriting.
Just sight-read it through for tomorrow's one and only rehearsal....it's quite hard isn't it!!

브루크너 - [e단조 미사]
Thank you so much for uploading. Pure magic! Whom belongs the score ? Is it the original manuscript ?
Just discovering Bruckner : so spiritual ; woke me up from my agnostic doldrums .
What's Easter without Bruckner ?
Love Christus factus est.
You should do a version of this with the printed score
You can do that too.
nein! Dies ist das eindrucksvollste, was Musik in Verbindung mit den Ideen eines Komponisten überhaupt bieten kann. Ein gedrucktes kann das gar nicht wiedergeben...
Which choir is singing this? musicians? thanks
You can find the names in the info under the video. Every video I post has information with it.
Are you also doing the F minor mass?
I just finished it. It is going to be up tomorrow, Tuesday July 19
Bartje Bartmans It has been 10 months, did you upload it yet and did it immediately got taken down?
Thank you for the work. It is great to see the partiture for studying but for singing it does not work. I would suggest that it should be scrolling the pages, or them changed a moment before the singing, otherwise it is not possible to read in time at the swap of pages.
I didn't make this video for singing purposes. That simple. Why don't you make one?
@@bartjebartmans - Well, I was not protesting, and I know this things take a lot of work., and you probably know a lot more than me on how to do it. Just a friendly sugestion. Cheers!
The MASS!
Lovely music to sing, but the director having us use 19th century German pronunciation of Latin made for larger learning curve.
Hoomeyow!!
Manchmal klingt es wie der Werkschor einer Anlasserfabrik. ;)
5:10
Triggered
this is gods Music.........bruckner was not an Atheist.........no great Music was ever composed by an Atheist.........Facts and love from vienna austria
Vaughan Williams, Maurice Ravel, Chopin, Bartok, and etc. etc. were atheists. You have your facts wrong.
Peter Helbich
You are very right. Thanks for your comment !
Bartje Bartmans
The question is, what they meet, when they come to the other side...
It could become difficult .....
Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as well. You're an idiot, Peter.
Michael there is no other side. It is all a thought, an idea. It doesn't exist outside of your brains. That is when it becomes difficult when you realize life is nothing else than what you think it is. PERIOD.
you fellows mix up religion with god. religion was made by humans. jesus, mohamed, buddha, martin luther etc..........
Jesus was not only human. He was God in the flesh. If you buy the idea....
so was odin
Who the fuck is "god"???!!!
