Gustav Mahler, Symphony no. 3
A work that expands all of creation, what scope, sweep, and vision:
I. Bacchanale, Pan Marches in (the awe of the physical world, mountains, plains
II. What the flowers of the meadows tell me
III. What the animals of the forest tell me
IV. What man tells me
V. What the angels tell me
VI. And the greatest force in the universe, What love tells me
In the final movement, when the high strings soar and the brass blares triumphantly, I am in another world. And then orchestra climbs majestically to new heights...sheer Elysium.
