We learned this for our Christmas candlelit concerts just a couple of months ago. We always learn many such new pieces for Christmas but this was certainly the most challenging. Bruckner always seems to demand a great vocal range and complexity from his harmonies, his pieces are so demanding. Locus Iste is fairly straightforward, but Christus Factus Est, Ave Maria and this one are no walk in the park. Especially if you're an alto (top Fs, wow!). Compositions not for the faint hearted.

Beautiful!
Know that 'reconcilans' means reconcile, a very important word. Differences may exist!
No right or wrong.
