Program Notes
Christus factus est ("Christ became obedient" or "Christ became man for our sake") WAB 10, is a sacred motet by Anton Bruckner, his second setting of the Latin gradual Christus factus est, written in 1873. Several decades earlier, in 1844, he had composed another piece on the same text as gradual for the Messe für den Gründonnerstag (WAB 9). In 1884, Bruckner composed a third, better known setting (WAB 11) for choir a cappella.
The work exhibits many traits of the composer's mature style: chromatically shifting harmonies, square-cut phrases often ending in moments of silence, and moods alternating between exaltation and serene contemplation.
