This composer used the latter half of his second symphony to ease off the rapid chromatic motifs of the first half. An apostolic motto from a now-deceased pontiff became the centerpiece of this man's a cappella choral piece Totus Tuus. This composer made heavy use of the aeolian mode in a work that asks its singers to repeat the phrase "Domine Deus Noster," Miserere. Whole-tone harmonies move in parallel to an evolving melodic line in this man's piece Refren, but he is better known for a piece celebrating the (*) martyrdomof St. Stanislaw, Beatus Vir.

For 10 points, identify this composer of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.
