This is a significantly revised and enlarged version of a course that was originally presented in the Spring 2018 Term. Having two additional weeks in the term permits the addition of quite a bit more music. See the class music list below for the details.
There are three additional post provided today:
- A timeline of significant events in Mahler’s life. This may be useful in keeping track of Mahler’s various conducting jobs in relation to writing his song and symphonies.
- A class-by-class listing of music that will be heard with names performers and orchestras.
- A bibliography of some of the books I read in preparing this course. This will provide source references for quotes provided during classes.
