  2. Mahler on the symphony • “call [the third] a symphony is really incorrect since it does not follow the usual form. The term ’symphony’—to me this means creating a world with all the technical means available." • “no, a symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” (to Sibelius, 1907)

  3. Draft Titles 1896 • First Part: • Pan Awakes. Summer Comes Marching In (Bacchic Procession). • Second Part: • What the Flowers in the Meadow Tell Me. • What the Animals in the Forest Tell Me. • What Humanity Tells Me. • What the Angels Tell Me. • What Love Tells Me.

  4. Titles Suppressed at Premiere 1902 “Beginning with Beethoven, there is no modern music without its underlying program. —But no music is worth anything if first you have to tell the listener what experience lies behind it and what he is supposed to experience in it. And so yet again, to hell with every program! You just have to bring your ears and a heart along and—not least—willingly surrender to the rhapsodist. Some residue of mystery always remains, even for the creator.”

  5. O Mensch! Gib Acht! Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht? "Ich schlief, ich schlief—, Aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht:— Die Welt ist tief, Und tiefer als der Tag gedacht. Tief ist ihr Weh—, Lust—tiefer noch als Herzeleid: Weh spricht: Vergeh! Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit—, —will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!" O man, be careful! What does the deep midnight say? "I slept, I slept—, From the deep dream I have awoken:— The world is deep, And deeper than the day thought. Deep is its grief—, Desire—deeper yet than heartbreak: Grief says: Pass! But all desire seeks eternity—, —seeks deep, deep eternity.“ IV. From Also sprach Zarathustra (Friedrich Nietzsche)

  6. Boys choir: Bimm, bamm, bimm, bamm Women's choir: There were three angels singing a sweet songringing joyfully to heaven.They rejoiced happily as well,that St. Peter be free of sins. And when the Lord Jesus sat down at the tabletogether with his 12 apostles eating dinnerthus spoke the Lord Jesus: "Why are you standing in front of me?Looking so sadly and weeping?" Alto/Peter: "And why should I weep not, you, God so kindly ... Women's choir Thou shallst not weep! Alto/Peter: I have violated the ten commandments;I go and do weep bitterly,Oh, come and have pity on me. Women's choir: You, who have violated the ten commandments,fall to your knees and pray to God!Love God at all times,thus you will receive the heavenly joy! The heavenly joy, the blessed city;The heavenly joy, never ending.The heavenly joy was given to St. PeterThrough Jesus and as a blessing for all. V. From Des Knaben Wunderhorn
