Rückert-Lieder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rückert-Lieder are 5 songs for voice and piano or orchestra by Gustav Mahler, based on poems written by Friedrich Rückert.

They are:

  1. Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder! − Do not look at my songs! (14 June 1901)
  2. Ich atmet’ einen linden Duft − I breathed a linden fragrance (July 1901)
  3. Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen − I have become lost to the world (16 August 1901)
  4. Um Mitternacht − At midnight (Summer 1901)
  5. Liebst du um Schönheit − If You Love for Beauty (August 1902)

Together with Revelge and Der Tamboursg’sell (on poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn and later incorporated into Mahler’s Lieder aus "Des Knaben Wunderhorn") they were first published in 1905 as Sieben Lieder aus letzter Zeit (Seven Songs of Latter Days).
