The Catacombs, number 8 from Pictures at an Exhibition, also known as Cum mortuis in lingua mortua or With the Dead in a Dead Language. The form of this movement is binary. Its two sections consist of a nearly static Largo with a sequence of block chords, elegiac lines adding a touch of melancholy, and a more flowing, gloomy "Andante" that introduces the "Promenade" theme into the scene.
