About This Song

About "Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Titan": III. Feierlich und gemessen, ohne zu schleppen" by Leonard Bernstein

Mahler's 'Titan' funeral march lumbers with a grotesque, off-kilter grace. Bernstein draws out the movement's ironic tension: a solemn procession that keeps stumbling into a jaunty, mocking tune. The music feels like a parade of ghosts, solemn and absurd, calm and unsettled in equal measure.
