Vulnerasti cor meum

O, quam suavis


The work was created as an antiphon for the festive novena to St. Teresa of Ávila. P. Carolus Josephus à Sigismundo OCD commissioned Brentner in Prague to compose music for the feast introduced by the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Graz in 1718. Later, the composition found use as a motet or offertory “de Beata Virgine Maria” or “de Virginibus”. Together with the antiphon “Zelo zelata sum” Brk 45 from the same collection, the piece was re-texted at some point before 1723, the new title being “O quam suavis” – a change that the composer himself might make. An anonymous source in Prague bears a new text, “En parata est mensa”, in addition to the original one.
