And, also the Fifth.

And the Third, while we're on the topic of musical, deaf, 18th-19th century Germans. Was wondering when somebody would mention the fourth of the Ninth. It is, after all, a song.

Among many favorites, perhaps my favoritest favorite hymn would be "I Am The Bread Of Life." It sounds like the fourth movement of the symphony I want to write the other three movements of. I hear cellos and tympanis in the verses, brass in the choruses. And I want it done at my funeral.
