Anton Bruckner's setting of the medieval text 'Virga Jesse floruit' is one of his most popular motets, performed by choirs around the world. Composed in 1885, it packs a lot of drama into a short space of time. This archive footage was recorded in St Augustine, Kilburn by kind permission of the Vicar & Churchwardens.
