Summary: "Auferstehung" The genesis for Mahler\s Resurrection symphony is a 1988 tone poem he called Todtenfeier (Funeral Rites). Leaving it for a few months to complete his Symphony No. 1, he finished his funeral piece in September of that year. By 1893 he had decided the piece was really part of a symphony- Friedrich Klopstock's "Resurrection Ode," with additional lyrics by the composer, forms the climax of his second symphony.
