Mahler arrangements.... (of esp. interest to Bbm!)

[BBMmk2]

Well for me the essence of the best Mahler slow movements is strings - but go on, BBM, I'm sure you can prove me wrong!

This would be most interesting. Well I know Mahler was very exact in what he wanted but I think I can makes a pretty good job.

I would very much like to write transcription for concert band of the Adagio from aforesaid 5th and also the first movement, would be very good.

I stopped after the first 6 words.

I don't know how some of you ******s can sleep at night!

Now, who was it who started this thread?

I'm finding the cloughie-fernie veiled allusions vaguely menacing....

On the paths, in the woods,
on the banks, by the walls,
in the long, lush grass,
or the winter leaves,
fallen leaves, I wait....

Quintesentially Caliban?

[Nick Armstrong]

Sorry Cali the note was for fernie.

Crumbs! It does, doesn't it?


(I bet Cali knows the version with the alternative lyrics.)

I wonder if Cali has associated Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony with 'I can't get started' or Four Last songs with 'Jesus Christ Superstar' or Stravinsky's Baiser de la fee and 'Wooden Heaert'.

What, like "On Top of Old Smokie" turning up in DSCH 11, or "Three Blind Mice" in Rach's 4th Piano Concerto, you mean?

Oh Rach PC4 is way past help. Not going to think about the other thing as I don't know the song so na-na-nana-nah!!

[Bryn]

There really ought to be a ban or at least a warning on musical cross-references that can torpedo a great work!!!!





(I've ignored the various examples above when it was clear from the first few words that people were a-spoiling!!)
