Gustav Mahler's Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen expertly arranged for Baritone solo and 8-part Choir (SSAATTBarB) by Bo Holten (2010). Text by Friedrich Rückert. Programme note Gustav Mahler: Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (arr.: Holten 2010) is an arrangement for baritone soloist and 8-part choir of one of Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder. There is already an often performed arrangement for 16-voice choir by Clytus Gottwald which Holten has himself conducted a few times. But Holten does not really think that Gottwald does justice toMahler’s song; among other things it lacks a soloist who can express the “Ich” that is so central to the text. Holten takes his cue from Mahler’s piano setting but with Mahler’s own sublime orchestral setting firmly in mind. The choir thus functions as an (orchestral) accompaniment for the soloist. Holten has taken pains to stay as close to the model as possible within the constraints of what in fact can be sung by a choir. And he has striven to function solely as an arranger and as far as possible to avoid mixing his own personality with Mahler’s.(Klaus Møller-Jørgensen 2012)

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. 'The songs are conceived as a whole, as if a wayfarer, with his destiny, is now looking out into the world and is wandering from place to place. … The most painful experiences were bound to come…' (Gustav Mahler, 1885) Mahler's famous set of four songs for voice and orchestra is newly available in the handsome UE Study Scores format. Gustav Mahler's 'Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen' ('Songs of a Wayfarer') occupy a special position in his song oeuvre. Subsequent to the 'Frühe Lieder und Gesänge' ('Songs and Airs') which - with the exception of the 'Serenade' and 'Phantasie' from Don Juan - were composed between 1880 and 1882 as songs for piano and voice, the 'Gesellenlieder' ('Wayfarer Songs') were the first works to be presented in the dual versions (songs for piano and voice / orchestral songs) that were so significant for Mahler's song compositions. The 'Gesellenlieder' were initially written as songs for piano and voice between late 1884 / early 1885 and 1890, and Mahler's orchestration only followed in the years between 1890 and 1893. Another unique feature is that they were explicitly conceived as a song cycle and together with the 'Kindertotenlieder' ('Songs on the Death of Children') and possibly also the 'Lied von der Erde' ('Song of the Earth') - although the latter is far more akin to a symphony - these are the only song cycles in Mahler's song oeuvre. The 'Gesellenlieder' ultimately express the subjective experience of suffering in a particularly remarkable way./ Répertoire / Voix et Orchestre

Symphonische Dichtung. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Gustav Mahler’s “Funeral Rites“ (literally translated: “Celebration of the Dead“) was initially conceived as the first movement of a symphony in C minor and completed in 1888. After certain alterations, – mainly cuts and extensions regarding the instrumentation – the piece became the First Movement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (study scores available with the number UE34315) a few years later. Mahler himself conducted it as an independent piece with the Berlin Philharmonics in 1896./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Gustav Mahler's symphonies tend to be scored for a large orchestra putting this wonderful music out of reach of many smaller orchestras. This arrangement whilst not simplifying the music attempts to remedy this by reducing the orchestral requirements. The original orchestration requires 3 flutes 3 oboes 3 clarinets 3 bassoons 7 horns 4 trumpets 3 trombones tuba timpani percussion and strings. Although in many of Mahler's symphonies each movement seems to be an integral part of the larger work we feel that this movement can stand alone quite happily and offers a good entry to the symphonic world of Gustav Mahler.

The Austrian late-Romantic composer Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) is nowadays recognised as one of the greatest composers of his time. A successful conductor during his lifetime it was only after Mahler's death that his own compositions began to enjoy widespread popularity. Composed between 1887-1888 Mahler's celebrated First Symphony received high critical acclaim as a groundbreaking work which took the imagination and narrative of a symphonic poem and gave this the cohesion of earlier structures from the genre. Mark Goddard's innovative Mahler One Inspiration By The Ton! takes the First Symphony and condensesand abbreviates the movements into four delightful miniatures for flexible String Ensemble. Suitable for String groups at an intermediate level this enjoyable arrangement is highly playable and enormous fun. Mahler One Inspiration By The Ton! is also available for Flexible Wind Ensemble and Flexible Brass Ensemble . These three instrumental packs can all be used together.

Dans sa préface à la nouvelle édition critique de la 'Septième Symphonie, le Dr Reinhold Kubik (rédacteur en chef et vice-président de la Société internationale Gustav Mahler) se penche sur la réception de Mahler et la discussion entre l'éditeur et Erwin Ratz, le rédacteur en chef de la première édition critique, et résume ce qui suit: 'dans le même temps, le niveau des autres éditions complètes avec leurs appareils complets critiques a été acceptée par l'édition Mahler ainsi. Les temps ont changé: Mahler se classe maintenant parmi les compositeurs les plus réussis et est devenu important pour les éditeurs. Objections ont été supprimés. En conséquence, il était grand temps de rendre justice à ce travail en profondeur la préparation d'une nouvelle édition, y compris une nouvelle typographie musicale avec matériel d'exécution qui est compatible avec la partition. Il est difficile à croire, mais la vérification à travers les sources de nouveau découvert une foule de passages, des erreurs même, qui sont dans le besoin d'amélioration.La première représentation de cette édition a eu lieu à l'Hôtel de Gasteig Philharmonic, le 8 Mars 2007 avec l'Orchestre symphonique de Bavière, sous la direction de Mariss Jansons. / Orchestre

Over the years, the need for a new edition of Mahler's Symphony #2 became apparent for several reasons. First, many new sources for this work have become accessible since 1970, when Erwin Ratz completed the first critical edition of this symphony, the most significant being Mahler's personal reference score in which he recorded changes to be made (his last entries were made in September 1910). The second reason was the significant strengthening of the editorial standards of the critical edition in recent years. The music is now computer-generated. Previously, changes to the score could be made only by retouching the film of old engravings. Computerizationalso ensures a concurrence between the score and performance materials. Editorially, the new edition benefits from expanded texts that describe and assess the source materials, document and explain the editors' decisions and provide detailed information on the work's origin, the history of the published scores, performance practices, etc. Over the past five years, Renare Stark-Voit and Gilbert Kaplan, editors of the new edition of Symphony #2, have identified, evaluated and analyzed every significant source, and as a result of their work a substantial number of errors have been corrected. (Reinhold Kubik, taken from the preliminary note) Oh believe, my heart, oh believe:Nothing is lost with thee!Thine is what thou hast desired,What thou hast loved, what thou hast fought for!(Gustav Mahler in the Finale of Symphony #2) / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Mahler's third symphony, scored for a massive orchestra, was conceived as a vast cycle in six movements. This miniature-score edition offers an opportunity to study the orchestral innovations of this great music and explore the genius of the composer often regarded as the last great Austrian symphonist./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

 Cette transcription de la Symphonie TITAN de Gustav Mahler a été réalisée en répondant aux réflexes techniques de l'organiste, C'est dire qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une simple réduction de la partition d'orchestre vers l'orgue, mais bien d'un arrangement pensé pour l'orgue et pour l'organiste, tout en respectant le caractère et les colorations de l'oeuvre originale,Ainsi, certains éléments existants dans la symphonie originale ont pu être retirés et d'autres ajoutés, ou réécrits et on se gardera surtout d'imiter l'orchestre, que ce soit par les phrasés, les tempi, et par la registration,Il faut jouer cette transcription comme un oeuvre pour orgue, écrite pour l'orgue dès le départ, - 1- Langsam, Schleppend_Immer sehr gemächlich, (18')- 2- Kräftig bewegt (10')- 3- Feierlich und gemessen (12')- 4- Finale, Stürmich bewegt (22') À propos de Paul Sterne The Mahler Organ Project / Orgue
