Gustav Mahler composed a beautiful piece performed by the Bach-Elgar Choir. What is the name of that piece??
Symphony No. 2 (Mahler) Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection Symphony, was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. Apart from the Eighth Symphony, this symphony was Mahler's most popular and successful work during his lifetime. It was his first major work that established his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. In this large work, the composer further developed the creativity of "sound of the distance" and creating a "world of its own", aspects already seen in his First Symphony. The work has a duration of eighty to ninety minutes and is conventionally labelled as being in the key of C minor; the "New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians" labels the work's tonality as C minorE♭ major.
Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis, BWV 21 Johann Sebastian Bach composed the church cantata Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis (I had much grief), BWV 21 , in Weimar, possibly in 1713, partly even earlier. He used it in 1714 and later for the third Sunday after Trinity of the liturgical year. The work marks a transition between motet style on biblical and hymn text to operatic recitatives and arias on contemporary poetry. Bach catalogued the work as "e per ogni tempo " (and for all times), indicating that due to its general theme, the cantata is suited for any occasion.
