The video explores a recurring theme in a musical piece, appearing three times in different moods: grandioso, despairing, and resolved. Initially introduced in D major, the theme is linked to a hymn and an oratorio. It reappears during a crisis, breaking down into despair, and finally returns in a more resigned manner after a fugue.

In what ways does the theme return after the Fugue?

What are the three different moods in which the theme appears?
