Schumann's immensely moving, large-scale cantata Faust contains a number of unforgettable scenes, drawn primarily from the mystical second part of the epic poem.  Opening with the first love scene between Gretchen and Faust and concluding with the climactic scene of Faust’s redemption, Schumann created a sweeping panorama of dramatic episodes with Mephistopheles’ trickery ultimately overcome as legions of celestial beings bear Faust’s soul to heaven.
