This book was released on 1981 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sets out to shed some light on the subject - as fascinating as it is elusive - of the relationship between music and poetry in song. It does so by means of a detailed examination of all Mahler's songs - an area of the composer's work which has attracted surprising- ly little critical attention. Close analysis of Mahler's musical response to his poetic texts demonstrates that comment on the interaction between words and music need not be confined to the superficial.

Download or read book Gustav Mahler, Song Symphonist written by Gabriel Engel and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Mahler by Gabriel Engel is an excellent biographical tribute to the Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer. Mahler was one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. Excerpt: "The utmost efforts of the studious countryman, Bernhard Mahler of Kalischt, Bohemia, to better himself had netted him after many discouraging years only the modest dignity of a rustic private-tutor."

Book Synopsis Gustav Mahler--Richard Strauss by : Gustav Mahler
Download or read book Gustav Mahler--Richard Strauss written by Gustav Mahler and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-06-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss came to know one another as young conductors in Leipzig in 1887. From then until Mahler's death in 1911—the year of the first performance of Der Rosenkavalier—they kept in touch. Mahler himself described their relationship as that of two miners tunneling from opposite directions with the hope of eventually meeting. This first publication of their correspondence, which includes twenty-five previously unknown Strauss letters, offers a portrait of two men who were as antithetical in their musical means and goals as in their temperaments and personalities, but who exercised a strong fascination for one another. These sixty-three letters show both composers advancing in their careers as they battled against adverse conditions in the musical world at the turn of the century. They present Mahler's energetic support of Strauss's Symphonia Domestica, which Mahler conducted in 1904 and, in turn, Strauss's championing of Mahler's music, especially the Second and Third Symphonies. The correspondence is fully annotated and is supplemented with a major essay by Herta Blaukopf. "Unfailingly absorbing. . . . An indispensable addition to the literature on these composers."—Norman Del Mar, Times Literary Supplement

Book Synopsis Hidden Treasures by : Molly Breckling
Download or read book Hidden Treasures written by Molly Breckling and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Mahler once said, “With song you can express so much more in the music than the words directly say. The text is actually a mere indication of the... hidden treasure within.” Over fourteen years, from 1887-1901, he devoted his compositional output almost exclusively to texts and ideas drawn from a collection of German folk poetry entitled Des Knaben Wunderhorn: Alte deutsche Lieder, resulting in twenty-four songs which heavily inspired his first four symphonies. This study explores Mahler’s songs based on this poetry and identifies the connections the composer found between these products of Germany’s folk past and his own contemporary environment. The songs he created comment on and engage with Vienna’s musical life, Freudian theory, Mahler’s religious life, his family relationships, his views on women and romance, economic inequality, and wartime violence. As remnants of a folk tradition, the poems contained in Des Knaben Wunderhorn served the purpose of instructing young people on ways of conducting themselves, just as fairy tales do today. Mahler’s adaptation of these stories and his updating of them to serve audiences of his own time demonstrate the universality of the lessons these poems provide, both to audiences of Mahler’s day, and also to our own.

Book Synopsis Light in Battle with Darkness by : Peter Russell
Download or read book Light in Battle with Darkness written by Peter Russell and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread view that in Gustav Mahler's song-writing musical concerns take precedence over sensitivity to poetry, is reflected in a neglect of the literary dimension of his songs. Peter Russell's study of the Kindertotenlieder (1905) seeks to correct this bias. Both by elucidating the selection Mahler made from the 425 poems at his disposal, and by analysing the songs to show in what detailed ways their music brings out patterns of symbolism in the poems, his study demonstrates that Mahler's attention to his texts in this cycle was close and sensitive, and that the over-all organisation of the cycle derives from the intimate inter-relationship of music and text.
