 ;D I made it sound very dull there, though - it's also about as luscious as late Romanticism gets, without even coming close to lapsing into formless wallowing as other similarly gargantuan, pantheistic works by lesser composers sometimes do. It has a wickedly ironic undertow. And great tunes, too.  ;)

Oh, you're very good - if, as you say, you don't know it, that is! Those of you who do know it should be ashamed of yourselves! ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P >:D >:D >:D

Yes, this is the manic orchestral postlude to the song of Klaus-Narr, one of many highlights in a score full of highlights. You owe it to yourself to hear this piece, Johan - it suddenly strikes me that one who loves Suk's Summer Tale will certainly love Gurrelieder too.

Well, I admit to having heard it a couple of times but don't know it well, so the score excerpt didn't register.
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

The work is in C minor, for chorus (+ soloist?) and orchestra, and written during the First World War...

Vieille prière bouddhique.

Positive.

Yes.... You're very close, with your guesses, though. The work has been recoded a few times, when I've seen it coupled with the two works you've just mentioned, and is no more or less obscure than them. You've been thinking a little too Christian on this one....

Some more from me. Some very easy, some harder. A cello-ish theme going on - sorry that my scores are not as wide ranging as some other posters', but I just don't have that many scores!

And 46 is Ives' last composition, Sunrise, I think, though I'm just checking with the CD
