E9: Mahler's "Urlicht" - 1/3

Frank Freniere · From: The First Coast

Nestled amid the tempestuous 90-minute Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler is a 4 Â½ minute interlude called â€œUrlicht,â€ or â€œPrimeval Light.â€

The symphony, commonly known as the â€œResurrection,â€ consists of five movements rather than the customary four, and the stage is packed with:

17 woodwinds
25 brass instruments
20+ percussion pieces
3 soloists and large choir
2 harps
1 organ and
â€œthe largest contingent of strings availableâ€

Some might accuse Mahler of bombast but you want heavy instrumentation for a heavy subject, nicht wahr?

A cool thing about live performances is that in the final movement a player with Gabrielâ€™s horn is positioned in the middle of the audience facing the stage, creating a heavenly call and response moment.

O RÃ¶schen rot!
O little red rose!

Timing of the musical notes is approximate.

This great. Thanks for all of your tabs. I just joined the forum recently but I've been enjoying your tabs with v standard notation for a while now. It is more of a learning experience when you've got both forms of notation side by side (or above one another)
