Lost to the World
...It is I myself. It’s the feeling that fills one and rises to the tip of one’s tongue but goes no further - Mahler, on completing 'Lost to the World' 1901

Scored for solo flugel horn • 3 trumpets • 1 horn • 3 trombones • 1 euphonium or tenor trombone • 1 tuba

Parts for Horn in Eb, Trombones in treble clef, Euphonium in treble clef and Tuba in treble clef are included in this set.

Written in the summer of 1901, 'Lost to the World' has become one of Gustav Mahler's most popular and much loved works. Amazingly, it was only published by his wife after his death in 1911, ten years after it's original composition.

It is very much a cousin of the equally famous 'Adagietto' from his 5th Symphony. It's peaceful melody, and subtle harmony and accompaniment are all reminiscent in the symphony, of the same year.

This arrangement for solo Flugelhorn and brass captures the serene mood of the original and is a calming addition to any programme.
