Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 10

Symphonie der Tausend-Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 is a work of exceptions. Seen from the outside this is true of the forces that are used: with its three choirs eight soloists and an orchestra of far more than one hundred musicians there are few similar works in the annals of music. This cast of performers determines the second exceptional element of the work the mix of instrumental and vocal characteristics that makes it to the prototype of a 'vocal symphony' which - as Mahler put it - 'is sung from beginning to end'. In turn the texts that are sung influence the structure of the whole replacing as it were the usual four movements of a symphony with twostrongly divergent 'parts'. And finally as if to emphasize this divergence the texts used - the hymn Veni creator spiritus in the first part and the final scene of Goethe's Faust in the second - are not only written in two languages but also separated in their origins by more than one thousand years. Thus it is a work of extremes and a work of contradiction. It seems however that it was exactly these distinctive features that lifted the symphony above the others and convinced Mahler that his Symphony No. 8 was 'the greatest' work 'that I have composed'. It is an understandable coincidence that he thus raised Symphony No. 8 to the same rank within his oeuvre as Goethe who claimed that the drama was his 'Hauptgeschäft' [main work] did with Faust. Even after composing his late works Mahler retained his belief that Symphony No. 8 was his 'opus summum'. (Christian Wildhagen)

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.

Gustav Mahler's Symphony Nr. 10 is the last and only unfinished symphony in his complete oeuvre. On 5 September 1910 Mahler wrote his last notes: exactly 100 years later, the 23-year-old conductor and composer Yoel Gamzou presented with great success his new reconstruction of this extraordinary work. The World Première with the International Mahler Orchestra took place at the Ryckestrasse synagogue in Berlin as part of the Jewish Cultural Days 2010. / Partition D'Etude

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.

Gustav Mahler est sans doute le plus important compositeur du romantisme tardif. Des élans agités voire quasi névrotiques associés à des mélodies magnifiques et à des chorals grandioses rendent ses symphonies riches en émotions. Cet « adagio » extrait de sa 3e symphonie et arrangé de main de maître par Georges Moreau en est l?exemple parfait.

 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

Après des études de piano, d?harmonie et de composition au Conservatoire de Vienne, Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) mène une brillante carrière de chef d?orchestre qui le conduit jusqu?aux Etats-Unis. De son mariage avec l?infidèle Alma naîtront deux filles dont Maria qu?il a la douleur de perdre en bas âge : ce sera là une source de mélancolie dans ses oeuvres futures. Grâce à son sens original de l?orchestration et de la forme, Mahler marque un tournant décisif dans l?histoire de la musique viennoise. Emporté par une infection généralisée, il laisse un répertoire incontournable de musique symphonique (dix Symphonies dont la dixième inachevée) et de cycles de Lieder / Livre /

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
