About this item
Students love playing this famous minor-key version of the canon "Frère Jacque." Mahler was originally inspired to write this somber march after seeing a picture depicting a hunter's funeral procession (complete with animals carrying his casket) in a children's book. All sections of the orchestra get a turn playing the melody in this wonderful introduction to one of the greatest symphonists.

Composer
Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)
Gustav Mahler; 7 July 1860 – 18 May 1911) was a late-Romantic Austrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. He was born in the village of Kalischt, Bohemia, in what was then Austria-Hungary. Kaliště u Humpolce is now in the Czech Republic. Then his family had moved not far to Jihlava where Mahler grew up.
As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.
