Op. 249, No. 63 is a slow chorale whose melody is surrounded by moving inner voices and a sustained bass foundation.
The opening phrases progress in broad half notes, with longer tones tied over changes in the other parts. Fermatas repeatedly suspend the movement at important arrivals.
The later phrases revisit this pattern in a new register, then draw the voices together into a fuller final chord. Small chromatic changes color the otherwise restrained harmonic movement.
Interesting fact: The historical edition gives the fermata pauses an approximate value of six quarter-note beats, making those suspended arrivals a conspicuous part of the design.
