| RCS sings Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 in D minor |
| Under the baton of HRO Music Director Federico Cortese, the Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra will be opening their 217th season with the most extensive of Gustav Mahler’s nine symphonies, featuring world-renowned mezzo-soprano Alexis Peart and the Radcliffe Choral Society. The fourth movement, Sehr Langsam-Misterioso, features text from Friedrich Nietsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra. Below is an except translated from German to English: O Man! Take heed! What says the deep midnight? “I slept, I slept —, from a deep dream have I awoken: — the world is deep, and deeper than the day has thought. Deep is its pain —, joy — deeper still than heartache. Pain says: Pass away! But all joy seeks eternity —, — seeks deep, deep eternity!” Join us or tune in to hear this work.
