Sublime excellent music, which describes the beauty of faith, the transitory sense of our earthly life and the hope in the future life; not to be afraid of death and live with serenity the abandonment of this life. We do not know when our time comes, but this music teaches us to have courage and live earthly existence with more detachment.
It is often cited as being the last piece ever written with figured bass continuo. That's wrong because Bruckner's own "Missa Solemnis" written 5 years later has figured bass continuo. Whether that piece was the last, I do not know.
That's not correct. I doubt if Brahms ever heard or was acquainted with this early work ("early" by Bruckner's standards as a late developer). Brahms will have heard the Te Deum, possibly the Mass in F minor and some of the motets, maybe, and it is documented that he admired Bruckner's church music in general but not his symphonic output. It was Brahms' influence which led to the commissioning of Bruckner's Psalm 150.
Brahms is said to have applauded enthusiastically at the premiere of Bruckner's 8th symphony, and also - on Bruckner's own account - complimented him fulsomely on the F minor Mass.
@@cantabilius5945Do you havea source for that information? My understanding is that Brahms was always thoroughly perplexed by the 8th and is reported as having said so to Bruckner's face in the Red Hedgehog tavern in Vienna. Brahms was observed applauding the two middle movements of the 6th on one occasion (the outer movements were not being performed).
I have read (albeit only in a booklet!) that Brahms is reported to have said something along the lines of “Bruckner ist doch ein großes Genie” (“Bruckner is a genius, after all”) after the premiere.

This is a lovely work which I read was composed when he was only 25 ! He was a very capable composer already.
Thank you for sharing your music SP’s score videos.
This work sounds like it was composed in the hight of the 18th century. Very interesting
It's only seems like that. The marks of 19th century is everywhere.
It has keyboard continuo - a figured bass, very much a 17th and 18th century feature.
Yes, 1848-1849 , he was 25 when he composed this piece.

@@dillarddillard-p4eThe 18th century lasted from 1701-1800.
Basso Continuo in the XIX century romantic music? Love it!!

Mozart was inspired by the Haydn Requiem.
IMHO absolutely inspired by Haydn.
The Sanctis Tuis just screams Haydn Requiem
The only Bruckner piece Brahms could like.😅
Says a lot about Brahms indeed...
