PROGRAM
Johannes BRAHMS/Detlev GLANERT “Four Preludes and Serious Songs”
Gustav MAHLER Symphony No. 9
In 2005, German composer Detlev Glanert orchestrated Johannes Brahms’ “Four Serious Songs,” giving them the opportunity to be unified in a continuous score, with each song dedicated to a prelude and summarized in an orchestral postlude. This unified work is filled with an exciting, freedom-filled harmonic language and dark, rich orchestration. In his final completed work – the Ninth Symphony – Mahler contemplates life and death and bids farewell.
The concert is in 2 parts with an intermission. Approximate duration: 2 hours.
