Mvt.3 Rex tremundae summary
A descending melody composed of dotted notes is played by to announce the Rex tremendae majestatis ("King of tremendous majesty", i.e., God), who is called by powerful cries on the syllable Rex during the pauses. For a surprising effect, the Rex syllables fall on the second beats of the measures, even though this is the "weak" beat. The melodies adoptthe dotted rhythm, forming what Wolff calls baroque music's form of "topos of the homage to the sovereign",or, more simply put, that this musical style is a standard form of salute to royalty, or, in this case, divinity. This movement consists of only 22 measures, but this short stretch is rich in variation: homophonic writing and contrapuntal passages alternate many times and finish on a quasi-unaccompanied choral cadence, landing on an open D chord (as seen previously in the Kyrie). Excellent fun for eery player.
