Gustav Mahler
Written in B♭ major, range F3 to E5
The title means “I walked across the field this morning”. Dew on the grass, a finch and the bluebells wish the wanderer good morning, and the whole world sparkles. Then, very quietly, he asks whether his own happiness will begin now, and knows it never will. Mahler wrote the words himself and later used the tune in his First Symphony.
