Gustav 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 tenth song, LOB DES HOHEN VERSTANDES (IN PRAISE OF HIGH INTELLECT), is a humorous song depicting a singing competition between a cuckoo and a nightingale. The judge, who happens to be a donkey, obviously favors the cuckoo. This Kalmus edition is transposed to the key of C major for low voice. Instrumentation: 2.2.2+ECl.2 : 4.1.1.1: Timp: Perc(1): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): solo voice. Reprint edition.
