Repertoire & Scores

The Mahler project offers students the rare opportunity to undertake an in-depth study leading to the performance of the songs for voice and piano of both Alma Schindler-Mahler and her sometime husband, Gustav Mahler.

Below is a list of the songs and song cycles we will be studying and performing on the project, together with recommendations on how to source scores.

The first table offers suggestions for those wishing to purchase scores.

The second table offers links to scores of both composers that can be downloaded from the IMSLP Petrucci Music Library for minimal charge. Please note that these scores are in the Public Domain (PD) in Canada, but not in many other countries.

Students are welcome to work from any score in any edition they prefer on the Mahler Project, with the following proviso:

The Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer) is available in both an orchestral reduction and in the original version for voice & piano. Please note we are working only from the original version for voice & piano.
