  • GUSTAV MAHLER's Ieh BIN DER WELT ABHANDEN GEKOMMEN AS SONG and SYMPHONIC MOVEMENT: ABDUCTION, OVER-CODING, and CATACHRESIS
    DA VID L. MOSLEY GUSTAV MAHLER'S IeH BIN DER WELT ABHANDEN GEKOMMEN AS SONG AND SYMPHONIC MOVEMENT: ABDUCTION, OVER-CODING, AND CATACHRESIS While many have commented upon the manner in which Gustav Mahler quotes both himself and other sources in his music, this stylistic feature of Mahler's composition has not, to my knowledge, been examined from the perspective of intertextuality. The many intertexts of Mahler's music include: literary texts of his own creation as well as those by other authors, other musical styles and genres, musical compositions by other composers, and portions of his own oeuvre. Nowhere is Mahler's musical intertextuality more informative than in the many and varied relationships between his songs and his symphonic compositions. The case of Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen as poem, piano-Lied, orchestral song, and the Adagietto movement of his Symphony No.5 is one such example. This essay will employ a semiotic methodology to examine: (1) the abductive process by which Mahler approached RUckert's poem, (2) the practice of over-coding by which this poem became a piano-Lied, an orchestral song, and finally a purely instrumental symphonic movement, and (3) the manner in which the Adagietto of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 constitutes a catachresis, or misapplied metaphor, in relation to the text from which it originated. MAHLER'S ABDUCTIVE APPROACH TO LIED COMPOSITION What does it mean for a composer at the beginning of the twentieth century to quote the musical material from a vocal composition in a subsequent instrumental composition? The first implication of this question has to do with our model for understanding Lied composition itself.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

  • Hector Berlioz Les Nuits D'été, Op. 7
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Hector Berlioz Born December 11, 1803, Côte-Saint-André, France. Died March 8, 1869, Paris, France. Les nuits d'été, Op. 7 Berlioz composed Les nuits d'été, a set of six songs to texts by Théophile Gautier, for mezzo-soprano or tenor with piano accompaniment, in 1840-41. He orchestrated "Absence," the fourth song, in 1843, and the remainder in 1856. (Although he specified different voice parts for some of the orchestral songs, the set traditionally has been performed by one singer.) The orchestral set was never performed in its entirety during the composer's life. The score calls for two flutes, oboe, two clarinets, two bassoons, three horns, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately thirty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performances of "Sur les lagunes" from Berlioz's Les nuits d'été were given on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on December 11 and 12, 1903, with Marguerite Hall as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. It's odd that Berlioz, normally the most talkative, opinionated, and revealing of musicians (he was the first major composer to write his memoirs) had so little to say about these extraordinary songs. We don't know why he composed them or for whom—evidently they weren't written on commission or for any specific occasion. Unlike Berlioz's best-known and most characteristic compositions, these are private, even personal works, and he seemed reluctant to put them in the public spotlight. He wrote them first for voice and piano, which only underscored their intimacy—particularly since they were composed right on the heels of the three-movement Grand symphonie funèbre et triomphale, an over-the-top, government- commissioned extravaganza for a military band of two hundred players.
