Locus iste at abruckner.com

In a nice coincidence, I just noticed that the music on the banner for abruckner.com (home of a very thorough Bruckner Symphony discography compiled by John F. Berky) is for "Locus iste," a motet Anton Bruckner wrote for the commemoration of a new votive chapel in Linz. According to the Bruckner Gesamtausgabe, Bruckner wrote "Locus iste" on August 11, 1869.
