The marks of Gustav Mahler's creative style first reach their maturity in his Symphony No. 2, completed in 1894. The first movement of the monumental work is evocative funeral music. The second movement is simple and transparent in tone and based on a Waltz-like dance, the Ländler. The third movement is grotesque and somewhat bizarre, quoting from Mahler's own song setting of St. Anthony of Padua's Sermon to the Fish from the Des Knaben Wunderhorn cycle. The fourth movement likewise "lifts” a th...eme from the end of Des Knaben Wunderhorn, entitled Urlicht (Primeval Light) and sung by an alto. The start of the closing movement portrays the Last Judgement. After a massive crescendo of percussion, an endless procession of the resurrected begins. The ever-diminishing blare of trumpets mingles with the happy, sweet chirping of birds. The closing choral section, interrupted by solos, proclaims the promise of eternal life with majestic chords.
