Question

This piece’s fourth movement contrasts (-5[1])a D-flat major chorale with a triplet “inferno” theme to represent heaven and hell. This piece opens by establishing a two-note “nature theme” of descending (15[1])fourths beginning with A–E, which is (-5[1])interrupted by an “awakening call” (15[1])from the clarinets before muted offstage trumpets enter with a fanfare. (-5[2])The (15[1]-5[1])end of this piece’s fourth (15[1])movement calls for the French horns to stand and “drown out” the orchestra “including the trumpets.” (-5[1])This piece’s (*) “Blumine” (10[1])movement was removed after (-5[1])its (-5[1])third (10[1])performance in 1894. This piece’s third movement, which the composer described as a “tragic irony,” mimics a klezmer band in its second (10[1])section (-5[1])after its opening funeral march quotes “Frère (10[1])Jacques” (10[3])in D minor. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this symphony by Gustav Mahler that precedes (10[1])his “Resurrection” (10[2])Symphony. (10[2])■END■ (10[9]0[12])

ANSWER: Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D major [or “Titan” Symphony; accept 1 alone after “Mahler” is read]
