This composition‟s second movement opens with the cellos playing a rising minor third as part of its D major orchestral introduction.
This composition‟s second movement opens with the cellos playing a rising minor third as part of its D major orchestral introduction. Its third movement, the only one in E-flat major,introduces a prominent harp part and features a solo violin playing a melody based on the soprano line "Te decet hymnus" from the first movement. This composition‟s penultimate movement was initially written separately as a piece for baritone soloist and organ. Its second movement, which omits the words "omnium fidelium" from the line "libera animas defunctorum," appears two movements before one that features a solo soprano who repeats "Dona eis, domine." Modifications its composer made to the form include the addition of the In Paradisum and Libera me movements and the elimination of the Benedictus and the traditional Dies Irae sequence, leaving only the prominent fourth-movement Pie Jesu. For 10 points, identify this mass for the dead by a 19th-century French composer of a notable Pavane.
