Have you heard?
Debussy’s La mer (1/30/15)
La mer is one of the most
vivid musical seascapes.
Debussy invites the listener
to imagine the morning on
the sea, to hear the crashing
of waves, and to feel the
wind and mist—but he didn’t
intend for his three-movement
masterpiece to be program
music. Instead, Debussy
paints his impressions of
the sea with lush harmonies
and shimmering orchestral
colors. French critics were
the first to label Debussy an
“impressionist,” and over
the years the label remained
closely associated with him.

MAHLER Symphony No. 6
Have you heard?
Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 (4/17/15)
The original version of the finale of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony
included three hammer strokes of fate that presaged tragedies
in the composer’s life: the diagnosis of a heart condition that
would prove fatal, the loss of his position at the Vienna State
Opera, and the death of his daughter. Superstitious, Mahler
eventually removed the third stroke. But he also included a
magnificently melodic Adagio and a rapturous theme that
represents his wife, Alma.
