Description
Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) began composing the songs of DES KNABEN WUNDERHORN (THE BOY’S MAGIC HORN) in 1892, finishing in 1901. Comprised of 15 songs total by the end, each sets folktale texts, as published by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano, to music with piano accompaniment, though some also have orchestral accompaniment. The fourth song, WER HAT DIES LIEDLEIN ERDACHT? (WHO MADE UP THIS LITTLE SONG?), portrays a pastoral scene involving a lover’s admiration for an innkeeper’s daughter. The song concludes by reflecting on its own whimsical origins, having been flown across the water by a trio of geese. This Kalmus edition is transposed to E-flat major for medium voice. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.0.0.0: Perc(1): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): solo voice. Reprint edition.
