Libera

Libera me Domine de morte aeterna
In die ille tremenda quando coeli movendi sunt terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum judicare
Saeculum per ignem.
Tremens cactus sum ego et timeo
Dum discussio venerit
Atque venture ira.
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dies illa, dies ira calamitati set miseriae,
dies magna magna dies et amara valde.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum juduicare
Saeculum per ignem.
Requiem aeterna dona, dona eis Domine.

Sketch for a Cantata "Viva Rudolphus" in honor of the Archduke (Nottebohm, II, pages 127-128).
At the beginning , Beethoven wrote: "dieser Anfangs durchgefurt u. spater 4 Stimmigen Chor", which means "this part must be at the beginning and then, with a chorus for four voices".
The cantata will never be finished, like so many other works started during these two years.
However, one must notice that the second theme has been used for the sonata Opus 106, as the first theme of the first movement.

3-part Canon in C minor - February - August 1825 (Deroda, page 87)*

* The notebook was possessed by the Spanish Marquis of Bogaraya. It was then given by his widow to Professor Cecilio de Roda (of the School of Higher Studies of the University of Madrid) who studied it, and who published the results in volumes XI-XIV of the Rivista Musicale Italiana Torino, Bocca, 1907 ("un quaderno autografo di Beethoven del 1825"). It was lost after the death of De Roda, which occurred in 1912.
The note-book was written in during the period of February - March to August 1825; it therefore is situated between the note-book of 1824 (chapter LVII of Zweite Beethoveniana of Nottebohm, II, pages 540-551) and the six other note-books to which is made reference by the same author, in chapter I (II, pages 1-13). Beyond the unusual sketches, it contains other obvious links to the quartets Opus 130 and 132 and the Grand Fugue Opus 133.
