Mahler Symphony No. 3: Earth - from Elements Gimon (+1 More)

The combined force of soprano and alto voices and a treble choir, and the soaring solo vocals of contralto Gerhild Romberger, bring the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Masterworks series to a magnificent close in Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. The six movements of this monumental work characterize the composer’s philosophy of the interconnectivity of nature and man to the heavens—each movement embellishing nature’s next plateau, from simple birdsong to celestial transformation, punctuated by choral passages. “Earth”, a movement from Elements, the avant-garde a cappella choral work of Canadian composer Katerina Gimon, is a complementary opener that celebrates the natural wonder of our own blue planet.
