Midway through this movement, a piccolo solo consisting of repeated C-sharps, many with grace notes or trills, alternates with a similar flute solo and follows a fanfare played “from opposite directions” by four offstage trumpets. This is the longest movement featured on a DVD of Leonard Bernstein and the London Symphony Orchestra at Ely Cathedral. This symphonic movement, which starts in F minor and ends in E-flat major, begins “In the tempo of the scherzo” by reprising a (*) B-flat minor over C chord nicknamed the “death shriek.” Its composer purchased church bells for the triumphant conclusion of this over 30-minute movement, which sets a poem by Friedrich Klopstock and follows the alto solo “Urlicht.” For 10 points, name this massive movement by an Austrian composer that ends his symphony after Titan. ■END■
ANSWER: finale of the “Resurrection” Symphony [accept Im Tempo des Scherzo or At the Tempo of the Scherzo until “scherzo”; accept fifth or last or final movement in place of “finale”; accept Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler or “Die Auferstehung” in place of “Resurrection”]
