The beauty and austerity of this sacred choral work is captured beautifully for band by the arranger. Given the tone colors available in the modern wind ensemble, Bruckner's brilliant blend of Renaissance-sounding melodic lines with chromaticism and the harmonic language of the Romantic era make this transcription an appropriate extension of Bruckner's musical tastes. Enrich your students' musicality by engaging with this spiritually uplifting, authentic transcription.
