Minor Doxology (Gloria Patri) concludes all movements, each recapitulating the opening theme.

The Laudate Dominum is set as an extended aria for the soprano soloist with obbligato organ, while the Magnificat opens with a majestic, moderate tempo, only to return to the bolder tempo of the first three psalms.[2]
