Product Description

I am not a huge fan of Mahler's music but his Kindertotenlieder is a cultural gem! I inadvertently discovered that the poet Friedrich Rückert who penned "Kindertodtenlieder" (yes, with a "d" ... LOL!) wrote 400-plus of these KTL poems after his two youngest children died of scarlet fever. I bought the book @ Amazon. After plowing through 442 of them, I winnowed it down to ten poems for my song cycle. It is scored for soprano and piano. NB: I cannot afford an orchestra, and it would be too much unnecessary work. LOL!!! The entire song cycle has a duration of ca. 35 minutes. It ends like a mechanical music box while the soprano sings a lullaby. Sleep is of course a perfect metaphor for being dead.

Enjoy!!!
