Interesting, as long as they don't beef it up into an hour-long symphony.
It appears to be little more than a minor arrangement of an existing work.
(Minor in the sense of lesser - not key - which is modal?)

I actually just heard the hymn sung by a choir on BBC radio 3, just before the 6 o'clock news. I thought that the choir version didn't sound at all like a Beethoven composition, but the piano version did.
The hymn is set to the Pange Lingua, written by St. Thomas Aquinas.

Good, Michael. You are showing yourself as a man not afraid of theoretical things. By the way, the mode can be minor or major, the key, C, B flat, F, et cetera. There are other modes too, mostly used in Medieval and Ancient times. In Brahms' 4th symphony, he uses one of these in the second movement.Originally posted by Michael View PostComment

No, I lay money on it turning into a Mass or possibly the Requiem that Beethoven was known to be contemplating?! Every composer needs a Requiem!Originally posted by Quijote View Post
