SKU: BF.BM1117-SET

From Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Composed by Gustav Mahler. Arranged by Jos van de Braak. Baton Music vocal series. Full Score and set of parts. Baton Music #BM1117-SET. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM1117-SET).

Gustav Mahler composed his 'Wunderhornlieder' (Songs from the Youth's Magic Horn) between 1892 and 1901. Just half of the 'Wunderhornlieder' have military subjects but beside those there are songs with humoristic or ironic elements sometimes resulting in strange or funny sound effects and songs (often lovesongs) which are primarily lyrical in tone. All songs have in common very typical contrasts by sudden change of atmosphere and an orchestration that combines unusually fine subtlety with a great range of colours. 'Das irdische Leben' is one of the ironic 'Wunderhornlieder'.
