Information

Johan de Meij's 4th Symphony for solo voice, children's choir and wind orchestra is inspired by a variety of 19th century German poems.

The first three movements use lyrics from the same source as Gustav Mahler did earlier: Kindertotenlieder by Friedrich Ruckert.:

  1. Ein Jahr ist nun geschwunden
  2. Wenn zur Thur herein
  3. Wiedersehn

The second half of the symphony continues on the death theme, using a poem by Heinrich Heine (Two Brothers). The last two songs, Early Spring and Song of the Harlequin by Hugo von Hofmannsthal are a metaphor for rebirth, new life and hope

  1. Zwei Bruder (Heinrich Heine)
  2. Vorfruhling (Hugo von Hofmannsthal)
  3. Liedchen des Harlekin (Hugo von Hofmannsthal)

Duration: 30:00
