Opening
Sinfonie Nr. 8 Es-Dur “Sinfonie der Tausend”
1. Veni, creator spiritus –
Imple superna gratia –
Infirma nostri corporis –
Tempo I: Allegro, etwas hastig –
Infirma nostri corporis –
Accende lumen sensibus –
Veni, creator spiritus –
Gloria sit Patri Domino
2. Poco adagio –
Più mosso: Allegro moderato –
Wieder langsam: Waldung, sie schwankt heran –
Ewiger Wonnebrand –
Wie Felsenabgrund mir zu Füßen –
Gerettet ist das edle Glied – Hände verschlinget –
Jene Rosen, aus den Händen –
Uns bleibet ein Erdenrest –
Ich spür’ soeben – Freudig empfangen wir –
Höchste Herrscherin der Welt! –
Dir, der Unberührbaren –
Bei der Liebe – Bei dem Bronn – Bei dem hochgeweihten Orte –
Neige, neige, du Ohnegleiche –
Er überwächst uns schon – Vom edlen Geisterchor umgeben –
Komm! Hebe dich zu höhern Sphären! –
Blicket auf –
Chorus mysticus: Alles Vergängliche
