[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I'm always interested in completions of the C minor Mass. The first time I heard the work was when I was in the orchestra for an actual performance. The completion followed Sussmayer's example in that it used material form the the opening movement. It was very effective.

Incidentally, the idea of the mass being in C minor is a bit of a stretch of reality, as it only applies to the opening Kyrie.
