Christus factus est - Bruckner

[@shin-i-chikozima]

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

[@AliFyre]

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

[@nallelybenitez7451]

I sang this too as soprano and it's challenging but totally worth it and beautiful :')

[@angelix_159]

I'm a soprano now and it's one of my fav things to sing

[@j.a.mccready9273]

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

[@bydaddykurt]

Sang bass in college 30 years ago and I still sing it from memory in my car.

[@taralh1986]

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

[@andreagenisetto4470]

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!!

[@user-bh4rx8mf8g]

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

[@jazzaiyana]

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

[@urbanviii6557]

It's not transposed down. It is sung at A=440. Trust me, I have perfect pitch.

[@maxam3930]

omg me i was thinking that they create this but now i know where this came from, and i need to bring this to my teacher of music ;)

[@micahharris311]

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!

[@tee25horse]

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

[@rainbowcrystaluk]

Thank you for this 😊 You always choose the best recordings! ❤

[@PhoenixOfNight]

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

[@belkismartin7019]

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

[@lizzielittler]

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

[@mrnnhnz]

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 :-)

[@coconuts1145]

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

[@aluncooke3671]

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

[@christopherbeardsworth9351]

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

[@zoejorgensen134]

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

[@dominiquepayne1341]

You're not wrong there.

[@moneechi]

I was just thinking I would have liked to hear more alto :)

[@rruss81]

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/

[@victorbarcellos4484]

The "quod est super" on 3:57 sounds like sadness and sweetness at the same time.

[@stevesewful]

beautiful!!!thank you...

[@derhakkofax]

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

[@limeymcfrog1]

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

[@namlehai2737]

Alden Michels Agreed.

[@huntrichardson]

Good catch

[@jonpopelka]

Oh man. You are NOT wrong, haha!

[@Eckehard-Luedke]

What should be the reason to sing not a "F" ? It s a broken accord f-minor. Normally there should not be any problem....

[@limeymcfrog1]

@@Eckehard-Luedke - A "low bass" whou can't sing an F I guess. :D

[@Scylla99]

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!!!

[@Bianka288]

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

[@italobrettmusic]

This piece sounds absolutely amazing transposed to C-minor.

[@AnnelizeSpies]

Very good and a very lovely piece to sing!

[@ultrad-rex1389]

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

[@joshuamilan2902]

Thank you Pentatonix. I adore this music.

[@Dave1549]

This makes a stunning Palm Sunday anthem.

[@hunnicutt11]

WONDERFUL

[@TheJamesalden]

THANK YOU!!...

[@StCyriakus]

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.

[@tireswing7]

amazing song! my favourite one to sing =)

[@markhughes7927]

Quod est ‘just super’!

[@keiththomas4367]

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

[@WinrichNaujoks]

too bad it's bruckner

[@CrimsonPiano]

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

[@russelljimmies1789]

CrimsonPiano what game you playing now?

[@michaelwiesinger2643]

It works every time for me 😌

[@Mritalicsmine]

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

[@Saviochristi]

Well, very cool!

[@Bigbearbeau]

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

[@BiggySn1p3r]

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

[@DOBDaniel80]

Yes great Performance, live in cologne :) 19.04.

[@marinamaroto4933]

BiggySn1p3r OMG IKR

[@Lakkaffel]

+BiggySn1p3r I love Pentatonix, but I think for classical music they use too much vibrato and don't give a round sound- still my favorite band!!

[@lucyfoster4082]

+BiggySn1p3r Can't wait till they have achieved all the pop stardom their little hearts desire, and then release a full classical album.

[@BlobbyHill]

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

[@yuehchopin]

danke

[@ninaderpina]

Why does this song make me cry

[@Meerkat1234]

The music? The text? The singing? The context? Any combination, or just all of it! Take your pick! It's all incredibly moving...

[@O-sa-car]

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

[@therealzilch]

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

[@HaydnWCS]

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

[@HaydnWCS]

+Bob Knowles ? From G to A natural is a whole tone.

[@coko9186]

They do, they just lose a lot of volume and get drowned out (turn it up, you can hear a couple of them carrying on)

[@therealzilch]

Yes- they weren't very strong on that A natural, but it was there.

[@louisdattin2345]

they did m8 ;)

[@Karolusio1995]

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

[@Bigbearbeau]

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

[@huntrichardson]

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

[@RichTrindade]

eu gostei do video *-*

[@robgraham7508]

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

[@morphthing1]

[@flpalacios9633]

Esos bajos!

[@russedav5]

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.

[@hrajur]

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

[@kotiplessa]

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

[@maxjamesorgans]

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

[@jiyujizai]

😔🍏💙

[@AldaronLorem]

"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.

[@Karolusio1995]

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

[@TheEmperor9985]

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

[@AAAbbott]

Omg. You are aware that is an English cathedral choir, and that said "soprano" is about 11 years old? And my ears didn't spot is either. You clearly aren't a singer.

[@TheEmperor9985]

AA Abbott omg omg, or you're already deaf and therefor can't hear what I'm hearing. It bothered me, live with it.

[@LewisHamsterHammond]

Blake C Boetto This piece was composed with trebles to sing it! This is how it is supposed to sound! If you don't like it too bad, take it up with Bruckner.

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

I'm not hearing any of the sopranos sticking out, but one of the altos certainly does at 4:00 on "quod est super nomen"

[@micahharris311]

Hello, I was in the choir when this was recorded. The trebles are boys and girls, from year 5 - year 10. I know what you mean, I could tell you exactly who is doing the irritating loudness. It always irritated me, sounds much better in the cathedral mind

[@johannesmarx3857]

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

[@WillowConsort]

was this the album with the d major mass?

[@Compositortruco]

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.

[@reid1773]

SMCS :D

[@emojiman518]

Sung this on tour this year.

[@Karolusio1995]

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

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

Schitterende koorzang van de Laurenscantorij Rotterdam

[@lilalaser]

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.

[@russedav5]

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"

[@kubootv]

bez komentarza...

[@jeromealvarez27]

its too low for us to hear or too soft

[@longeaton34]

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

[@tritaeus]

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.

[@micahharris311]

tritaeus They are trebles, not sopranos. Bristol cathedral choir, amazing choir. Google it. Start in year 5...

[@bartekperek]

of course italian pronunciation.

[@Traveller-fp5sf]

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

[@Karolusio1995]

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

[@jessasnamoi]

Italian?!? No, it's Latin.

[@kotiplessa]

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