Mahler Symphony No. 9 (Part IV + Season 4 Finale)

It's the Season 4 Finale and we're going out with a bang with the Finale of Mahler's 9th Symphony. This is one of Mahler's most unusual and passionate creations, a 25 minute slow movement that embraces church hymns as well as some of the most barren and expressionless music he ever wrote. We'll talk about these hymns and where Mahler might have gotten them, his embrace of Eastern philosophy at the end of his life, and much more. The show will be back in a month or two with all new episodes for Season 5!
