"Rosario (3), S. 670" is a piano piece composed by Franz Liszt in 1863. It was premiered in the same year in Weimar, Germany. The piece is part of a set of three pieces, collectively known as "Rosario," which were inspired by the Catholic rosary. Each piece in the set represents one of the three sets of mysteries of the rosary: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Glorious Mysteries. "Rosario (3), S. 670" represents the Glorious Mysteries, which focus on the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. The piece is divided into three movements, each representing a different aspect of the Glorious Mysteries. The first movement, "Resurrection," is marked allegro maestoso and is characterized by its triumphant and joyful tone. The second movement, "Ascension," is marked andante con moto and is more contemplative in nature, reflecting the solemnity of Christ's ascension into heaven. The final movement, "Pentecost," is marked allegro moderato and is characterized by its lively and energetic tone, representing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. Overall, "Rosario (3), S. 670" is a virtuosic and challenging piece for the pianist, showcasing Liszt's technical prowess and ability to create vivid musical imagery. The piece is also notable for its religious inspiration, reflecting Liszt's deep Catholic faith and his interest in using music as a means of spiritual expression.
