The mystery of Golgatha is a central element of christian religion
The cruelty and burden of the Passion can be heard in the introduction. A bell-like C-sharp can be heard 7x7 times in the middle movement 'Adagio Doloroso' and flows into the chaconne in 7/8 time. The chaconne with its rotating harmony pattern is a symbol of the recurring rituals of transformation. The 7/8 time coupled with puzzlingly floating emphasis is a symbol of mystery. The sound of the trombone awakes in us the ultimate belief that judgement day is the destination of all beings.
