From the start of the overture to "Tannhäuser", an opera by Richard Wagner, the ample and serene melody of the Pilgrims' Choir is heard in an orchestral version. It is only in Act III (first scene) that the pilgrims appear singing: four-part male choir, ABA form with coda on an "Alleluia" which bursts into apotheosis. (automatic translation)
