Description:
Bruckner’s Tantum ergo in B-flat major was performed on New Year’s Eve 1849 at St. Florian monastery, where the composer was employed as a teacher. This short work captivates with an expressive, beautiful melody in the soprano, harmonically supported by the other voices and accompanied by the violins in running eighth notes – a nod to Mozart.
