Recap: a rhapsody by Brahms written between 1865 & 1897. It has more than one section, and is a choral work (in part). Its opus number is higher than 40. "Triumph" does not appear in the title; not even in German, and it has nothing to do with the Fates.

I have actually mentioned this work in another post on this board. Happy trawling!

Then I shall guess that it is Opus 53, Alto Rhapsody for Alto, Male Chorus and Orchestra

[shostakovich]

"YES!" says DB, who is having trouble again accessing the BBB.
