Richard Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30

Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 (Thus Spoke Zarathustra or Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a tone poem by Richard Strauss, composed during 1896 and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical treatise of the same name. The piece is divided into nine sections played with only three definite pauses. Strauss named the sections after selected chapters of the Nietzsche's book: 1. "Einleitung" (Introduction): according to the interpretations, it should represent the Creation or the coming of the new age of the Overman and so, because of its evocative and declaimed aspect, it is led back to the Overman's motto. 2. "Von den Hinterweltlern" (Of the Hereaftergo'ers): here the brass quote the gregorian cento "Credo in unum Deum" or "I believe in one God" to represent faith at the top synthesis. 3. "Von der großen Sehnsucht" (Of the Great Longing): maybe it represents the age of "Sturm und Drang"; here there's a liturgical quotation from "Magnificat". 4. "Von den Freuden und Leidenschaften" (Of the Joys and Passions): the word to the strings, at the top tension; the trombones expose the theme of "Taedium Vitae". 5. "Das Grablied" (The Grave-Song): part where the strings prevail. 6. "Von der Wissenschaft" (Of Science): it is a fugue whose subject all only the twelve notes to represent scientism, positivism and maybe, to ridicule the rising dodecaphony. 7. "Der Genesende" (The Convalescent): it completes the tension of the previous movement, then, after a rough pause determined by a rip of the strings in the bass register, it starts again from the mystery to go to the atmosphere of the following movement. 8. "Das Tanzlied" (The Dance Song): the theme of "Taedium Vitae" is taken again trasfigured in a waltz. 9. "Nachtwandlerlied" (Song of the Night Wanderer): coda where the finale is suspended avoiding the cadence on the tonic. Paintings by J.M.W. Turner and Caspar Friedrich. Conductor: Georg Solti & Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Richard Strauss - Tod und Verklärung, Op.24

Updated: 06 Jul 2011

"Tod und Verklärung" (Death and Transfiguration), Op. 24, is a tone poem for large orchestra by Richard Strauss. Strauss began composition in the late summer of 1888 and completed the work on November 18, 1889. The work is dedicated to the composer's friend Friedrich Rosch. Unusual for a composer of 25 years of age, the music depicts the death of an artist. At Strauss's request, this was described in a poem by the composer's friend Alexander Ritter as an interpretation of Death and Transfiguration, after it was composed. As the man lies dying, thoughts of his life pass through his head: his childhood innocence, the struggles of his manhood, the attainment of his worldly goals; and at the end, he receives the longed-for transfiguration "from the infinite reaches of heaven". There are four parts (with Ritter's poetic thoughts condensed): 1. Largo (The sick man, near death) 2. Allegro molto agitato (The battle between life and death offers no respite to the man) 3. Meno mosso (The dying man's life passes before him) 4. Moderato (The sought-after transfiguration) Conductor: David Zinman & Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra Painting: "Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer" by Caspar Friedrich

Richard Strauss - Aus Italien, Op. 16

Aus Italien, Op. 16 (From Italy) is a tone poem for full orchestra composed by Richard Strauss in 1886. It was inspired by the composer's visit to Italy in the summer of the same year, where he travelled to Rome, Bologna, Naples, Sorrento, Salerno, and Capri. He began to sketch the work while still on the journey. The full score of the work, Strauss's first tone poem, was completed in Munich on September 12, 1886. The work is named by the composer as "Symphonic Fantasy", and is dedicated to his mentor Hans von Bülow. It is the only work by Richard Strauss for which he himself wrote a specific program. The first performance of the work took place in Munich on March 2, 1887, by the Court Orchestra, which was conducted by the composer himself. As Richard Strauss's sister Johanna later recalled, the first three movements were received with applause, but the last movement was not well-approved and derisory whistles came from various quarters. Norman Del Mar's biography of the composer tells a different story: the first three movements were not well received, and the final was accorded booing and applause. Strauss himself found the work itself as new and revolutionary, and he was satisfied despite the critical responses for the première. The works comprises four sections: 1. Auf dem Land 2. Ruinen von Rom 3. Am Strande von Sorrent 4. Neapolitanisches Volksleben

Richard Strauss - Eine Alpensinfonie, Op. 64 Part 1

Updated: 06 Jun 2011

"Eine Alpensinfonie" (An Alpine Symphony), Op. 64, is a tone poem written by German composer Richard Strauss in 1915. Though labelled as a symphony by the composer, this piece forgoes the conventions of the traditional multi-movement symphony and consists of twenty-two continuous sections of music. The story of An Alpine Symphony depicts the experiences of eleven hours (from twilight just before dawn to the following nightfall) spent climbing an Alpine mountain. One point of influence comes from Strauss's love of nature. As a boy, Strauss experienced an Alpine adventure similar to the one described in his "An Alpine Symphony": he and a group of climbers lost their way heading up a mountain and were caught in a storm and soaked on the way down. Strauss loved the mountains so much that in 1908 he built a home in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria that boasted stunning views of the Alps. This interest in nature can also point to Strauss's followings of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Sections: 1. Nacht (Night) 2. Sonnenaufgang (Sunrise) 3. Der Anstieg (The Ascent) 4. Eintritt in den Wald (Entry into the Wood) 5. Wanderung neben dem Bache (Wandering by the Brook) 6. Am Wasserfall (At the Waterfall) 7. Erscheinung (Apparition) 8. Auf blumigen Wiesen (On Flowering Meadows) 9. Auf der Alm (On the Alpine Pasture) 10. Durch Dickicht und Gestrüpp auf Irrwegen (Wrong Path Through the Thicket and Undergrowth) 11. Auf dem Gletscher (On the Glacier) 12. Gefahrvolle Augenblicke (Dangerous Moments) 13. Auf dem Gipfel (On the Summit) 14. Vision (Vision) 15. Nebel steigen auf (Mists Rise) 16. Die Sonne verdüstert sich allmählich (The Sun Gradually Becomes Obscured) 17. Elegie (Elegy) 18. Stille vor dem Sturm (Calm Before the Storm) 19. Gewitter und Sturm, Abstieg (Thunder and Tempest, Descent) 20. Sonnenuntergang (Sunset) 21. Ausklang (Waning Tones/Dying Away of Sound) 22.

Gib mir die Hand, daß ich sie heimlich drücke Und wenn man's sieht, mir ist es einerlei, Gib mir nur einen deiner süßen Blicke, Wie einst im Mai.
