Gustav Mahler: 1st Symphony 3rd Movement 'Bruder Martin': Orchestra: Score and

SKU: CA.2380203

ISBN M-007-24441-5. German.

Nicholas Kok's newly-created vocal score of the 4th and 5th movements of Mahler's 2nd Symphony is aimed particularly at vocal soloists and choral singers who wish to practice the two vocal movements in this work; it is available on sale, as is the chorus score. To ensure a secure entry at the attacca beginning of the 4th movement, the vocal score begins earlier in the 3rd movement. The rehearsal letters in the prevalently used orchestral materials have been taken into consideration so that the vocal score and chorus score are compatible with all the available music editions. In his 2nd Symphony, premiered in 1895 after a seven-year gestation period, Gustav Mahler combined different work concepts which he had previously tried out in various independent compositions: the 1st movement with the original title Todtenfeier was conceived as a symphonic poem, the 3rd movement is based on the original song for voice and piano St Anthony of Padua's Sermon to the Fishes, the 4th movement is the orchestral song Urlicht for alto, with text, like the 3rd movement, from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, and the 5th is a setting and elaboration of the Klopstock Ode Die Auferstehung for soprano and alto solo with mixed chorus. Mahler created a work in the vocal-symphonic tradition founded by Beethoven and, despite its challenges in extent and scoring, it remains one of his most popular compositions.

First edition based on the copy of the score revised by Mahler Hamburg 1893

ISBN 9790004343678. 10.5 x 14 inches.

The Blumine movement included in the original five-movement version of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 was long considered lost. Composed as early as 1884 for a theater piece, Mahler inserted it into the symphony as its second movement in 1888. After three performances, he turned his back on this Love Episode, calling the sentimental, gushing movement a youthful folly, and removed it. Mahler's Hamburg autograph score was only rediscovered in 1966. Benjamin Britten gave the Blumine movement a new hearing at the 1967 Aldeburgh Festival. The critical new edition is based for the first time on the autograph score, together with the meanwhile rediscovered score copy with Mahler's last revisions.The cloth-bound volume PB 5661 contains next to the final version of the four-movement Symphony, the Blumine movement.
