Brahms formed the Requiem tightly and symmetrically with the first and last movement bestowing blessings on those who mourn, the second and sixth movements expressing the darkness and of death, the third and fifth movements meditatively expressing a seeking of hope and the promise of it. However, it is the fourth/middle movement (and the shortest) that Brahms uses to provide calm, rest, and tranquility in an almost pastoral manner. The text is taken from Psalm 84:1-2, 4 : "How lovely is Thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my body crieth out for the living God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they praise Thy name evermore" (Psalm 84:1-2, 4).
