Anton Bruckner - Os Justi, WAB 30 | J.E. Gardiner, The Monteverdi Choir

'Os Justi Meditabitur Sapientiam' was composed by Anton Bruckner in 1879, a monument in choral literature; it exists of a graduale and fugue in ABA form, ending on the Gregorian mode of 'Alleluia'. The lyrics are as follows; Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius: et non supplantabuntur gressus ejus. Alleluia. ___________________________________________________________________________ The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. The law of his God is in his heart: and his steps do not falter. Alleluia.
