 Mahler expanded the Beethovenian model for programmatic as well as symphonic reasons in his Second Symphony , the " Resurrection " , the vocal fourth movement , " Urlicht " , bridging the childlike faith of the third movement with the ideological tension Mahler seeks to resolve in the finale . He then abandoned this pattern for his Third Symphony , as two movements for voices and orchestra follow three purely instrumental ones before the finale returns to instruments alone . Like Mahler , Havergal Brian expanded the Beethovenian model , but on a much larger scale and with far larger orchestral and choral forces , in his Symphony No. 1 " The Gothic " . Written between 1919 and 1927 , the symphony was inspired by Goethe 's Faust and Gothic cathedral architecture . The Brian First is in two parts . The first consists of three instrumental movements ; the second , also in three movements and over an hour in length , is a Latin setting of the Te Deum .
