Herz Jesu-Lied ("Song of the Heart of Jesus"), WAB 144, is the second of two motets of Anton Bruckner's St. Florian period, which is of uncertain authorship. If Bruckner was the composer, it was composed presumably in 1845-1846.[1]
History
If Bruckner was the composer, he composed the motet in 1845–46 during his stay in St. Florian Abbey. The text is a hymn to the Sacred Heart.
The motet was first published in band II/2, pp. 11–12 of the Göllerich/Auer biography.[1] The work is put in Band XXI/11 of the Gesamtausgabe.[2]
Music

The work of 24-bar in B-flat major, which is scored for mixed choir and organ, contains two short passages for tenor and bass soloists, and soprano soloist, respectively, and ends with an organ postlude.[1]
