Anton Bruckner (1824 Ansfelden/Upper Austria - 1896
Vienna) composed the Mass in e minor (1866-82) for the
consecration of the Votive Chapel of the New Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception in Linz. Since the cathedral
wasn't finished, the performance had to take place
outdoors. Bruckner made do without the organ and strings
and called instead only on wind instruments.

The musical example presents the opening of the ''
Gloria '' in which the phrygian melodie of the
soprano and alto choir continues the preceding intonation
of the priest. This melody is contrasted by a chordal
figure in the bassoon. (E. Stadler)
