O Schmerz! Du Alldurchdringer!
Dir bin ich entrungen!
O Tod! Du Allbezwinger!
Nun bist du bezwungen!
Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
in heissem Liebesstreben,
werd' ich entschweben
zum Licht, zu dem kein Aug' gedrungen!
Sterben werd' ich, um zu leben!
Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n wirst du,
mein Herz, in einem Nu!
Was du geschlagen,
zu Gott wird es dich tragen!
-Gustav Mahler
O Pain! You penetrator of all!
From you, I have escaped!
O Death! You conqueror of all,
Now, you are conquered!
With wings that I won for myself,
in fervent love's striving,
I will float away
To the light which no eye has penetrated!
I shall die in order to live!
Rise again, yes, rise again, will you,
my heart, in an instant!
What you have defeated,
to God will it carry you!
-Gustav Mahler
The Mahler Chamber Project
The Mahler Chamber Project (MCP) is a series of orchestral reductions of Gustav Mahler’s
symphonic works created by conductor and arranger Yoon Jae Lee. The project encompasses the
nine complete symphonies, sections of the tenth symphony, and the song cycle Das Lied von der
Erde.
PERUSAL SCORE
ONLY
The objective of the MCP is to facilitate performances of Mahler’s works in circumstances where
the original forces are unavailable or impractical to assemble. Mahler’s instrumental forces have
been reduced for medium sized chamber orchestras comparable to earlier 19th Century
composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. In contrast to
arrangements of Mahler’s works made for chamber ensemble, the intention of the MCP is to
preserve the full orchestral sonority of Mahler’s works by utilizing string sections instead of
individual string players. Mahler’s orchestration techniques are meticulously preserved making the
reductions virtually indistinguishable from the original.
NOT FOR SALE
We sincerely hope that through the efforts of the MCP, many regional, civic, community, youth
orchestras, music festivals, conducting workshops and their respective audiences will be able to
further deepen their appreciation of Mahler’s music by experiencing his music live which would
otherwise not be possible.
