Symphony No. 3 in D Minor for Alto Solo, Choirs and Orchestra

By Gustav Mahler

Book Overview

Mahler's third symphony, scored for a massive orchestra, was conceived as a vast cycle in six movements, including the opening march, the moving setting for alto solo of Nietzsche's "Oh Mensch Gib Acht " and a setting for women's and boys' choirs of "Es sungen drei Engel," on a text from Das Knaben Wunderhorn.
Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable miniature-score edition offers music lovers, performers, and students an opportunity to study the orchestral innovations of this great music and explore the genius of the composer often regarded as the last great Austrian symphonist.
