Eugen Jochum's "11 Apostles"

In the finale of Bruckner Fifth, Eugen Jochum carried over but modified somewhat Schalk's practice of augmenting the brass section towards the end of the movement with 11 extra brass instruments placed separately in a raised position behind the orchestra, often in the organ loft. He supported the brass with 11 additional instruments from the beginning of the Chorale, using  4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 thrombones and 1 bass tuba. He called these the "11 Apostles" as he did not include the twelfth, Judas. He placed them in the orchestra just behind or beside the original brass players however, as he thought placing them in the organ loft would have an effect too theatrical. The idea of this practice was to make sure that the divine ending would not otherwise become lacklustre or feeble due to the fatigue of the brass players by the beginning of the Chorale (bar 583).
