Die Stockfisch ich meine, It will carry you to God! Instead, Mahler sets the eighth and ninth line with a “zart drängend” (“gently urging”) figure. Beethoven – Symphony No. Nun bist du beqwungen! Yet before the third movement concludes, Mahler not only returns to the “Fischpredigt” in its original guise; he also elusively quotes—in his final measures—the last bars of the ninth song, “Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen” (“There is a Fluting and Fiddling”), of Robert Schumann’s song cycle Dichterliebe (A Poet’s Love). (Complete translations of the three programs exist here.) 12:06/7:00pm Exploring Music
This, in turn, subsides into a reemergence of the Ländler.

O Röschen rot, After Mickiewicz explores Polish nationalism in the third section of the poem—which constitutes the heart of the epic but has no bearing on Mahler’s symphony—the fourth relays the tale of Gustav, who committed suicide when his beloved Maria married another man. Sind all’ hierher zogen, The pike remain thieves, Was vergangen, auferstehen! Glistening in the sunshine! Gut’ Aale und Hausen, 12:06/7:00pm Exploring Music

And as the Lied resumes, the tension abates, so that the composer may subtly anticipate motives that will figure prominently in the finale. The fish symbolize a congregation that listens attentively, but upon completion of the service, returns to daily life without have taken to heart the priest’s spiritual message. For example, the “Dies irae” becomes a serious, though initially upbeat, march—over which the composer will have the trumpets superimpose a solemn, chorale-like variation of the same melody. The soprano soon joins, and the vocal duet briefly references the melody Mahler used to set the pivotal text of “Urlicht”: “Ich bin von Gott, ich will wieder zu Gott,” (“I am from God, I want to return to God”). In the vocal versions of the Lied, the instruments (whether piano or orchestral) evoke the constant motion of the swimming fish, while the singer simultaneously relays the text and suggests the preaching of St. Anthony.

Both of the 1896 programs also link the Second Symphony to the death, life, and resurrection of a heroic individual (whereas the 1901 version refers only to a well-loved person). The latter then yields the spotlight to a quartet of French horns, which anticipates the symphony’s finale by presenting both a new idea based on the Gregorian chant “Dies irae” (“Day of Wrath”)—the text of which bears a similarity to the Unetanah Tokef in that it depicts the Last Judgment—as well as a motive that Mahler will ultimately set to the word “Auferstehen” (“resurrection”). “Carl Nielsen (1865-1931)”
