Urlicht: This is the most moving and inspiring movement in terms of, this is a work that can make you believe there is a God and the afterlife. I first heard it at 17 years old and like many who have heard Mahler 2 it is life changing, just read about Gilbert Kaplan? The arrangement was done for a memorial concert for a Der trumpet playing friend Ernie Buck who like many in our profession died too young. So when it came to my debut album with Fairies it just had to be done. Now, it can be either mezzo sop or flugel as a soloist. In the recording you will hear on YouTube is the recording with Fairies and a dear RNCM friend of mine the most fabulous Margaret McDonald with Mr. Frank Renton directing. I’m fairly sure, by the time you get to the end, there will be a tear. https://youtu.be/yXxm5UXI8gI
