The Mahler 8 symphony is a glorious creation.
Voices used as an instrument as much as the intricate glimpses of the other sounds.
Soaring horns overlaid on to hints and subtle naunces of strings and woodwind. Trickles of harps ebbing to soaring voiceds folded throughout.
Triumphant and complex.
I feel like I am just beginning to absorb the beauty of classical music - as discussed with a friend today - maybe as a teenager and thereabouts I was just not able to have the life expereince to emerse myself in this music.
I would love to see this performed in a cathedral with its emotional power given over as a pledge of love to our God of love - the most powerful thing in us and beyond us.
