Concert for Christmas: Symphony No. 3 in D Minor

Public

Symphony No. 3 in D Minor

Approved

There Symphony n. 3 in D minor of Gustav Mahler, ended in 1896 and first performed in 1902 under the direction of the same author, it is a composition in six movements, monumental both in terms of composition and duration (over an hour and a half, with the first movement so extensive as to make it almost a symphony in the symphony).

In the vocal parts it contains references as much to the famous collection of popular songs Des Knaben Wunderhorn (the choral piece 'Es sungen drei Engel') as to Thus spoke Zarathustra of Nietzsche with the 'Midnight song' intoned by the lead voice.

"A musical poem that embraces all the stages of development in progressive order", Mahler outlines a sort of cosmogony, clarified by the short subtitles assigned to each movement in the drafting phase, to "offer some indication for the sensations that must be visualized", captions then eliminated at the time of printing. “My Symphony will be something the world has not yet heard. – continues the composer describing his work – Nature speaks here and tells secrets so deep that perhaps we can only sense in dreams.
