In another movement, the timpani are unusually tuned in octaves on the third scale degree; that is the second-movement scherzo. One passage in this work's finale uses a triangle, cymbals, and bass drum to evoke a Turkish march. The beginning of the finale refers to music from the previous three movements, after which the baritone soloist sings, "O friends, not these tones!" and the choir extols the "beautiful spark of the Gods."
