It sets the gradual Virga Jesse floruit for unaccompanied mixed choir. HistoryThe work was completed on 3 September 1885 and may have been intended for the celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Linz diocese; however, like the Ecce sacerdos magnus that Bruckner composed A.M.D.G. for that event, it was not performed there.[1][2] It was performed on 8 December 1885 in the Wiener Hofmusikkapelle for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.[1] The original manuscript is lost, but transcriptions of it are archived at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, the Hofmusikkapelle and the Abbey of Kremsmünster.[3] The motet was edited together with three other graduals (Locus iste WAB 23, Christus factus est WAB 11, and {{lang|la|Os justi}} WAB 30), by Theodor Rättig, Vienna in 1886.[1] The motet is put in Band XXI/34 of the {{lang|de|Gesamtausgabe}}.[4] SettingThis 91-bar gradual in E minor is for mixed choir a cappella. In the first part on the verse Virga jesse floruit (bars 1-20) Bruckner used twice the {{lang|de|Dresdner Amen}} on the word floruit (bars 7-9 and 17-19).[1] The last part (bars 63-91) consists, as in the earlier Inveni David WAB 19, of an Alleluja, for which Bruckner drew his inspiration from the Hallelujah of Händel's Messiah, on which he often improvised on organ.[5] The motet ends in pianissimo by the tenor voice on a pedal point.[6] Max Auer regards it as the most accomplished and magnificent a cappella motet of the composer.[6] The Bruckner biographer Howie also calls this work "one of Bruckner's finest motets".[2] Selected discographyThe first recording of Bruckner's Vexilla regis occurred in 1931:
