Summary

This popular work reflects a shift in Mahler's musical development, as he turned from a single melodic line with subordinate harmonies to a more contrapuntal style. The orchestral richness of this work progresses from the striking sleighbells of the opening and the complexities of its early movements to the touching simplicity of the closing soprano song.

Author Biography

Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote chiefly symphonies and Lieder. Late Romantic in style, his tempestuous works reflect the anxious mood of Europe at the turn of the 20th century. Because of his Jewish roots, the composer's music was suppressed by the Nazis but has enjoyed a steady revival over the past five decades.
