Abstract: This project was the creation of a performance edition of the choral portions of the fifth movement of Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, scored for brass, percussion, harp, organ, soloists, and chorus. This edition makes a musical masterwork more accessible to a wider body of performers, and relies upon the first edition of the score, published in 1897 for full orchestra, using the original vocal parts, edited and re-arranged brass, harp, and percussion parts, and a newly created organ part that combines the original woodwind, string, and organ parts.
