Шаблон:Lang (To Thee, Lord, to Thee will I surrender myself), WAB 12, is a sacred motet composed by Anton Bruckner in Шаблон:Circa.
History
Bruckner composed the motet in Шаблон:Circa either during his stay in Kronstorf or at the beginning of his stay in St. Florian Abbey. The original manuscript, on which the Tantum ergo, WAB 43 is also found, is in the archive of the St. Florian Abbey.[1] The motet was first published in volume II/3, pp. 114–115 of the Göllerich/Auer biography.[1] It is put in volume XXI/9 of the Шаблон:Lang.[2]
Text
<poem>Шаблон:Lang</poem> <poem>To Thee, Lord, to Thee will I surrender myself, Thee, whose property I am. Thou alone, Thou art my life, and so death then becomes to me a gain. I live for Thee, I die for Thee, that Thou alone be mine, so am I fulfilled.[3]</poem>
This text, which was also used by Felix Mendelssohn in his oratorio Paulus, is based on the ninth verse of the hymn Herr Gott, du kennest meine Tage by Ludwig Rudolph von Senftt zu Pilsach over the Stoning of Stephen.[4]
Music
The 32-bar work in A major is a chorale for mixed choir a cappella.
As Crawford Howie writes, "both In jener letzten der Nächte WAB 17 (Шаблон:Circa) and Dir, Herr, dir will ich mich ergeben WAB 12 (Шаблон:Circa) for a cappella mixed-voice choir are chorale harmonizations, probably the result of his studies with Zenetti."[5]
