Symphonie der Tausend-Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 is a work of exceptions. Seen from the outside this is true of the forces that are used: with its three choirs eight soloists and an orchestra of far more than one hundred musicians there are few similar works in the annals of music. This cast of performers determines the second exceptional element of the work the mix of instrumental and vocal characteristics that makes it to the prototype of a 'vocal symphony' which - as Mahler put it - 'is sung from beginning to end'. In turn the texts that are sung influence the structure of the whole replacing as it were the usual four movements of a symphony with twostrongly divergent 'parts'. And finally as if to emphasize this divergence the texts used - the hymn Veni creator spiritus in the first part and the final scene of Goethe's Faust in the second - are not only written in two languages but also separated in their origins by more than one thousand years. Thus it is a work of extremes and a work of contradiction. It seems however that it was exactly these distinctive features that lifted the symphony above the others and convinced Mahler that his Symphony No. 8 was 'the greatest' work 'that I have composed'. It is an understandable coincidence that he thus raised Symphony No. 8 to the same rank within his oeuvre as Goethe who claimed that the drama was his 'Hauptgeschäft' [main work] did with Faust. Even after composing his late works Mahler retained his belief that Symphony No. 8 was his 'opus summum'. (Christian Wildhagen)

Carus 70.301/10 which is part of the material associated with this piece can be used as the choral score. Gabriel Fauré composed the Cantique de Jean Racine in 1865 the prizewinning work for the completion of his musical training. The composer expanded the original scoring for choir and organ by adding a string accompaniment; the version with orchestra was first performed in 1906. As a text Fauré chose a French adaptation by Jean Racine of the Latin hymn ?Consors paterni luminis.? The Cantique already displays the characteristics of an expressive choral setting typical for Fauré as well as the finely worked out orchestral accompaniment and together with the Requiem composed considerably later it is among the most popular works of the composer.

Karsten Fundal's Entropia for Large Orchestra Soprano and Baritone soli Large Choir and Chamber Choir (SATB) and prerecorded sound (1997-2001). Commissioned by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Choir / DR. Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk About Entropia: This orchestral work is chiefly an attempt to make a musical investigation into the complex question of the nature of time. The viewpoint taken on a philosophical level is chiefly inspired by the brilliant thinker and philosopher of time J.F. Fraser. The main conclusion of his investigation of the subject is in very short that the onlyadequate view to take of time as a phenomenon with all the knowledge that we have today is that time must be seen as a conflict or at least an interference between many different “temporal levels” (...)

Saint François D'Assise is an opera in 3 acts by Olivier Messiaen. This volume is part of the edition that includes the books with the full Orchestra scores as well as the explanations analysis and comments of each tableau. It is focused on the “Act 3 Tableau 7. Les stigmates” which tells of the moment when Saint Francis receives the stigmata which proves that God approves his status of Saint. This tableau is happening when Saint Francis is alone in a cave in Verna. The music with a choir depicts a feeling of anxiety until the Choir interprets the voice of the Christ. Saint Francis is then hit by some lightfrom a cross that appeared to him in the exact same places where the Christ was hit by the Stigmata. The Orchestra is really strong on that tableau and depicts one of the most important moments of the opera Based on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi this opera is set in Italy and is divided as per below: Act I: 1. La croix 2. Les laudes 3. Le baiser au lépreux Act II 4. L’ange voyageur 5. L’ange musicien 6. Le prêche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was first played at the Paris Opera in 1983. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French Organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the Bird Catalogue in 7 volumes and the Treatise on rhythm colour and ornithology in 7 volumes.
