MINI-SCORE
'Tod und Verklärung' (Death and Transfiguration), Op. 24, is a tone poem for large orchestra by Richard Strauss. Strauss began composition in the late summer of 1888 and completed the work on 18 November 1889. The work is dedicated to the composer's friend Friedrich Rosch. The music depicts the death of an artist. At Strauss's request, this was described in a poem by the composer's friend Alexander Ritter as an interpretation of 'Tod und Verklärung', after it was composed. As the man lies dying, thoughts of his life pass through his head: his childhood innocence, the struggles of his manhood, the attainment of his worldly goals; and at the end, he receives the longed-for transfiguration 'from the infinite reaches of heaven'.
Especially the finale of the tone poem became very well known and is now transcribed for a large Brass Ensemble by Italian arranger Gottfried Veit.
