At the start of this piece, the ad libitum organ joins the low strings for 10 bars of a quarter-note pedal point on a low F. After a largely homorhythmic section in C minor, this piece’s penultimate movement transitions into a massive fugue whose subject begins “long C (pause), B, G, long A (pause), F, D.” Violins are omitted from this piece’s (10[1])first movement, which introduces the motif of a rising major third followed by a rising half-step. This piece’s seven movements roughly form (10[1])an arch structure with the first and last movements each (-5[1])starting with (-5[1])the words (10[2])“Selig (10[2])sind” (“ZAY-likh zint”), anchored by a central (10[1])movement that sets Psalm 84. The death of the (10[1]-5[1])composer’s mother inspired (10[2])this piece, (10[1])which eschews (10[1])Catholic liturgy in favor of the (10[4]-5[1])Luther Bible. For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])name this (10[1])choral work commemorating the dead by (10[3])Johannes (10[5]0[16])Brahms. ■END■
