Condizione: Good. Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Miraculous Horn) was an assemblage of folksongs and folksong-style poems collected and adapted in 1805 and 1808 by poets Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano to reflect their concept of German folk poetry. In 1887, Gustav Mahler discovered the musical potential of this collection; and over the next 14 years, it provided him with most of his song texts.By applying his personal experiences to reinterpret literary thought -- something he was to do all his life in almost every composition he penned -- he was able to create musical settings that elevated poetry beyond the realm of fairy tales and neo-medievalism. Included among these celebrated lieder are: Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz; Abl sung im Sommer; Nicht Wiedershene ; Wo die sch nen Trompeten blasen; Trist im Ungl ck; and Rheinlegendschen.In addition to Mahler's 23 songs on Wunderhorn texts -- and the full text of the 24th song, Das himmlische Leben -- this important new compilation contains his settings of five poems by Friedrich R ckert -- a marvelous representation of the composer's most intimate and significant work. Both sets of songs have been reprinted from authoritative sources for this handsome, inexpensive edition.…

Condizione: Fair. Often regarded as the last great composer in the Austro-Germanic tradition, Gustave Mahler (1860-1911) exerted a major influence on 20th-century music; his later work in particular affected the musical ideas of such composers as Arnold Schoenberg, Dimitri Shostakovich, Alban Berg, and Benjamin Britten.While his mature work foreshadowed radical elements of modern music -- particularly the dissolution of tonality -- Mahler's first symphonies were written in a relatively traditional programmatic style with a strong spiritual element. These early works are seen by some critics as attempting to establish some ultimate ground for existence in the face of pain, death, doubt, and despair. The composer's spiritual quest, as well as the vivid orchestration, innovative symphonic structure, and rich emotional expression that characterized his music can be clearly studied and appreciated in this volume, which contains complete scores of Mahler's first two symphonies.Of the Symphony No. 1 in D Major (Titan), the Encyclopaedia Britannica notes, The program of the purely orchestral Symphony No. 1 in D Major . is autobiographical of his youth; the joy of life becomes clouded over by an obsession with death in the macabre Funeral March in the Manner of Callot (basically a parody of popular music), which is eventually routed in the arduous and brilliant finale.Of Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, (Resurrection), Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians states: Symphony II is a good example of all Mahler's works . scored nearly always heavily for a large orchestra, restless and stormy in places, monumentally exalted in others.Now both works are available in this handsome, inexpensive edition, reproduced directly from the original editions published by Josef Weinberger in Vienna in 1897 and 1899. Beautifully printed with wide margins and clear noteheads, this edition of the symphonies offers an unparalleled resource for studying and enjoying the seminal works of a modern master. …

Mahler inherited the romantic conception of music as an expression of a quest for spiritual reality he expressed a four-sided conflict between a devouring love of life, a spiritual need, a skeptical intellect, and an existential dread of ultimate meaninglessness. Encyclopaedia Britannica.In this great work, Mahler experimented with the four-movement symphonic form, producing a masterpiece of musical innovation, satiric writing, and poetic drama expressed in purely instrumental terms. Alban Berg referred to the first movement of the Ninth Symphony as the most glorious Mahler] ever wrote, and further observed, the whole movement is based on a premonition of death which constantly recurs that is why the tenderest passages are followed by tremendous climaxes like new eruptions of a volcano.Now the full orchestral score of the Ninth Symphony is available in the inexpensive, high-quality edition, reprinted from an authoritative Viennese score.

Condizione: Fair. The first performance of the work took place at Munich on September 12, 1910, Mahler himself conducting. Its reception, which was overwhelming, was the first unqualified success that he had ever enjoyed. Eight months later he was dead. -- Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians.Mahler's massive complex Symphony of a Thousand has been called a crowning achievement of his career, a work that integrates on a truly grand scale the musical ideas, forms, and media that dominated his creative life. The symphony is in two parts. The first is a setting of words from the medieval Latin hymn Veni, Creator Spiritus. The words of the second part are taken from the final scene of Goethe's Faust. The theme of this amalgam is the redemptive power of love, and its form is a powerful synthesis of motet, dramatic cantata, oratorio, song cycle, and symphony.Mahler scored the work for orchestra, eight solo voices, double chorus, boys' choir, and organ, eliciting from this mighty consortium the most subtle of musical nuances one moment and majestic torrents of sound the next. This authoritative full-score edition makes the Symphony No. 8 available at a reasonable price to all students and performers of Mahler, and all music lovers who wish to immerse themselves in the glories of this monumental masterpiece.…
