The first section of this work features staccato triads and off-center accents in C minor and is called "What comes therefrom on high."  The second section features three trumpets in C major and the third section consists of legato violins in E major. These sections are called "What built a stately house," and "Der Landesvater."  This work requires a piccolo, contrabassoon, tuba, bass drum, triangle, and cymbals making it one of the largest orchestras required for any of the composer's works.  All four main themes were student drinking songs, which is appropriate for the setting it was originally performed.  For 10 points, name this overture that Johannes Brahms composed as a musical thank-you for receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Breslau.
