Zwei Aequale für drei Posaunen Anton Bruckner

Partitur und Stimmen

These two Aequali for three trombones are really works of Bruckner's youth, for he was only 22 years old when he composed them for the funeral of his great-aunt in January 1847. He was at that time a school assistant at the StFlorian Monastery near Linz. In spite of the pieces' early date, the romantic, expressive harmonies of the two brief Aequale already reveal the true Bruckner, andlook forwards to the chorale-like trombone passages in his later symphonies.
