In a piece dedicated to Jacques Charlot, Debussy counterpoints a simplification of La Marseillaise with this melody. This melody appears in the second piece of the En blanc et noir suite. A composition named for this melody opens with a chorale fantasia built around a melody consisting of a pair of phrases played twice, followed by four shorter phrases, followed by the second phrase again; all nine phrases being first articulated by the oboe. This melody is the basis of several movements in BWV 80b and is quoted in the prelude of an 1836 opera in which it also appears as the tune of a prayer sung by Marcel. A flute introduces this melody solo and is joined by the rest of the orchestra in playing this melody in full in the finale of a symphony written to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. For 10 points, name this tune featured in Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots and the final movement of Mendelssohn's Reformation Symphony, from a hymn attributed to Martin Luther.
