Bruckner-Tota Pulchra-Alto 1.wmv

Описание: "Tota pulchra es Maria" "WAB 46" was composed by Anton Bruckner in 1878. The text is from a prayer written in the fourth century. With its tenor solo and sparing use of the organ, it is one of the five antiphons for the psalms of Second Vespers for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. With modal qualities reminiscent of a Gregorian chant , the antiphon is structured as a dialogue between the tenor soloist and chorus. Choirparts , Alto 1, score.
