In 1887, Gustav Mahler discovered the musical potential of this collection; and over the next 14 years, it provided him with most of his song texts.\u003cbr\u003eBy applying his personal experiences to reinterpret literary thought -- something he was to do all his life in almost every composition he penned -- he was able to create musical settings that elevated poetry beyond the realm of fairy tales and neo-medievalism. Included among these celebrated lieder are: Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz; Abl sung im Sommer; Nicht Wiedershene ; Wo die sch nen Trompeten blasen; Trist im Ungl ck; and Rheinlegendschen.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to Mahler's 23 songs on Wunderhorn texts -- and the full text of the 24th song, Das himmlische Leben -- this important new compilation contains his settings of five poems by Friedrich R ckert -- a marvelous representation of the composer's most intimate and significant work. Both sets of songs have been reprinted from authoritative sources for this handsome, inexpensive edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote chiefly symphonies and \u003ci\u003eLieder. \u003c\/i\u003eLate Romantic in style, his tempestuous works reflect the anxious mood of Europe at the turn of the 20th century.
