Title NameDes Knaben Wunderhorn, No. 1: Der Schildwache Nachtlied, GMW 21, low voice (B-flat, original key)
Marketing CopyGustav Mahler (1860-1911) began composing the songs of DES KNABEN WUNDERHORN (THE BOY'S MAGIC HORN) in 1892, finishing in 1901. Comprised of 15 songs total by the end, each sets folktale texts, as published by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano, to music with piano accompaniment, though some also have orchestral accompaniment. The first song, DER SCHILDWACHE NACHTLIED (THE SENTINEL'S NIGHTSONG), illustrates the conflict of the soldier, alternating between a complex military-style with trumpet calls and drum rolls and the more tender music of his beloved. The Sentinel defiantly rejects the interruptions of joy and love offered by his beloved three times, but the song still ends with her plea. This Kalmus edition is presented in the original key of B-flat for low voice. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2+EH.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp.Perc(3-4): Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Low Voice. Reprint edition.
