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 first movement, which introduces the motif of a rising major third followed by a rising half-step. This piece’s seven movements roughly form an arch structure with the first and last movements each starting with the words “Selig sind” (“ZAY-likh zint”), anchored by a central movement that sets Psalm 84. The death of the composer’s mother inspired (10[1])this piece, which eschews Catholic liturgy in favor of the (10[1])Luther Bible. For (10[1])10 points, name this choral work commemorating the dead by Johannes (10[3]0[5])Brahms. ■END■
