The 2001 documentary Unfinished Symphony is set to this composition, which, like its composer's earlier Monologhi, was composed in the town of Katowice. The fourth mazurka in Chopin's opus 17 is quoted in its third movement, while its first movement features a canon based on a 24-bar melody begun by the double basses. This symphony's third movement also features a folksong about a mother looking for her lost child and uses the chord climax from the first movement of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. Over 700 thousand copies have been sold of its 1991 recording by the London Sinfonietta and the soprano Dawn Upshaw, who sang the lines "No, Mother, do not weep; most chaste Queen of Heaven help me, always," in its second movement; those lines were found in the town of Zakopane on the walls of a Gestapo jail cell. For 10 points, name this symphony, the third and most popular one by Polish composer Henryk Górecki.
