Gustav Mahler wanted his Third Symphony to encompass the whole of creation. His working scores had these descriptive titles for each of his six movements:
I. "Pan (the Greek god) Awakes"
II. "What the Flowers in the Meadow Tell Me"
III. "What the Animals in the Forest Tell Me"
IV. "What Man Tells Me"
V. "What the Angels Tell Me"
VI. "What Love Tells Me"
A complete performance runs between 90 and 110 minutes.
Little wonder than, that my article runs a little past 4,000 words.
At the bottom of my article is a link to HDTT's product page, and at the bottom of the HDTT product page, there is a free 24/96 download (circa 5 minutes), but the opening couple of minutes should make the sale.
