About this item
This incredibly expressive movement from Mahler's 5th Symphony has been masterfully adapted for young string orchestra by Carrie Lane Gruselle. This work includes a simplified harp part playable on student harps (or alternatively on piano or synthesizer). This revered classic is a great vehicle for developing expressive playing.

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.
