This genre was the subject of Susan McClary's chapter in Ritual, Routine, and Regime, which includes an analysis of Monteverdi's madrigal "Zefiro torna." Heinrich Biber's fourth Rosary Sonata, depicting "The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple," is one of these pieces. One of these pieces concludes Le Labyrinthe by Marin Marais. Benjamin Britten made an arrangement for string orchestra of a Henry Purcell piece of this type in G minor. A G-major piece of this type by (*) Handel includes 21 variations on the theme. One of these pieces opens Holst's Suite No. 1 in E-flat for Military Band. One of these titled "Body Through Which the Dream Flows" is the second movement of John Adams' Violin Concerto. J.S. Bach's longest movement for unaccompanied violin is in this genre, and is the final movement of his Partita No. 2 in D minor for that instrument. For 10 points, name this slow dance in triple time with a descending bass, a relative of the passacaglia.
