Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 soprano solo
This concert highlights composers from Gustav Mahler to Christopher Theofanidis who were inspired by the dreamland of heaven. Influenced by German folk poetry and his childhood, Mahler’s famous Fourth Symphony tells a tale of purely innocent joy and heavenly enchantment. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the aria, Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio, to complement his sister-in-law’s vocals – opening softly with a melody and then culminating in a challenging finish. Moved by Hildegard von Bingen, Christopher Theofanidis developed Rainbow Body by weaving elements from von Bingen’s Ave Maria to introduce grace among his restless, stirring sections.
