Description: Widely regarded as the crowning achievement of Mahler's career, this massive, complex symphony integrates on a truly grand scale the musical ideas, forms and media that dominated his creative life. Mahler scored the work -- which is in two parts -- for orchestra, eight solo voices, double chorus, boys' choir and organ, with the words for the first section taken from the medieval Latin hymn "Veni, Creator Spiritus." Words from the second part are from the final scene of Goethe's Faust. This edition's affordable price will enable students, performers, and Mahler admirers to study and enjoy this monumental masterpiece in the classroom or at their leisure.
