Funebre
La None is an expanded orchestral version of Liszt's piano piece II Penseroso, which was inspired by one of the Michelangelo statues in the Medici Chapel at Florence. Héroïde Funebre, written during the years 1848-50, originally formed the first movement of a ' Revolutionary Symphony '; was revised later and in its final form it may be interpreted as an Elegy on the death of Chopin, and on the murder, by a revolutionary mob, of Liszt's friend Lichnowsky. It was first performed in 1857. Humphrey Searle writes on the Grand Solo de Concert on page 6

8.52 app. Symphonic Poem: Hunnenschlacht
Hunnenschtacht was suggested by a huge fresco painted by Kaulbach, depicting the onslaught of Attila and his Huns against the Christian legions of Theodoric in the fifth century. According to legend, the battle raged so fiercely that when evening came the survivors believed they saw the spirits of those who had fallen continuing the conflict among the clouds. In the music the opposing forces are represented by easily identifiable themes, that of the Christians being based on the Gregorian chant Crux fidelis. As the battle rages the chant grows more prominent, suggesting the Cross shining in the heavens and the ultimate triumph of Christianity.
