Question

Apocryphally, this symphony’s composer declared “Beethoven won’t object!” when he chose to write it in D minor. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this symphony whose “heavenly finale” was left incomplete at its composer’s death, despite its dedication to “the beloved God.” This symphony’s third movement Adagio was described as a “farewell to life” and contains the entire chromatic scale in its main theme.

ANSWER: Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 [or Bruckner’s Ninth; or Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor; or WAB 109]

[10m] Performances of Bruckner’s Ninth often use his C major setting of this Latin hymn as a final movement. A setting of this hymn by Marc-Antoine Charpentier provides the opening theme for Eurovision.

[10e] While early drafts of Bruckner’s Ninth quote his Te Deum, later drafts instead quote the “Hallelujah” chorus from this oratorio by Handel.
