Kindertotenlieder
' (''Songs on the Death of Children'')〔Occasionally translated as ''Songs on the Death of Infants''〕 is a song cycle for voice and orchestra by Gustav Mahler. The words of the songs are poems by Friedrich Rückert.
==Text and music==
The original ' were a group of 428 poems written by Rückert in 1833–34〔Painter (2002, 174)〕 in an outpouring of grief following the illness (scarlet fever) and death of two of his children. Karen Painter describes the poems thus: "Rückert's 428 poems on the death of children became singular, almost manic documents of the psychological endeavor to cope with such loss. In ever new variations Rückert's poems attempt a poetic resuscitation of the children that is punctuated by anguished outbursts. But above all the poems show a quiet acquiescence to fate and to a peaceful world of solace."〔 These poems were not intended for publication,〔 and they appeared in print only in 1871, five years after the poet's death.〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/512096/Friedrich-Ruckert〕
Mahler selected five of Rückert's poems to set as Lieder, which he composed between 1901 and 1904. The songs are written in Mahler's late-romantic idiom, and like the texts reflect a mixture of feelings: anguish, fantasy resuscitation of the children, resignation. The final song ends in a major key and a mood of transcendence.
The cello melody in the postlude to "" (mm. 129–133) alludes to the first subject of the finale of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 (1895/96), a movement titled "What love tells me" (""). "Musically, then, this is the last word of the ': that death is powerful, yet love is even stronger."〔Andreas Dorschel, "", in: ''Musikfreunde'' 25 (2012/13), no. 5, pp. 34–37.〕
