Bruckner — Virga Jesse [SATB]

A choral masterpiece.

Text

Virga Jesse floruit:
Virgo Deum et hominem genuit:
pacem Deus reddidit,
in se reconcilians ima summis.
Alleluja.

The Jesse-shoot flowered,
The virgin brought forth God and man:
God restored peace,
in himself reuniting lowest-highest.
Alleluia.
