Description
Mahler: Adagietto; 5th Symphony. The fourth movement of Gustav Mahler’s hugely scaled fifth symphony, marked adagietto, is probably performed as a stand-alone work more often than any other single symphonic movement. The attraction of Mahler’s Adagietto lies in its profound emotional depth and simplicity. Unlike many of Mahler’s other more complex and dramatic movements, the Adagietto stands out for its purity, restraint, and beauty. It’s a piece that speaks with an almost universal language of yearning, love, and vulnerability. Mahler: Adagietto; 5th Symphony arranged here for flute choir requiring 3 flutes, 2 alto and a bass flute and players of the most advanced level.
