I actually just heard the hymn sung by a choir on BBC radio 3, just before the 6 o'clock news. I thought that the choir version didn't sound at all like a Beethoven composition, but the piano version did.
The hymn is set to the Pange Lingua, written by St. Thomas Aquinas.

Good, Michael. You are showing yourself as a man not afraid of theoretical things. By the way, the mode can be minor or major, the key, C, B flat, F, et cetera. There are other modes too, mostly used in Medieval and Ancient times. In Brahms' 4th symphony, he uses one of these in the second movement.Originally posted by Michael View Post[...] (Minor in the sense of lesser - not key - which is modal?)
