Symphony No. 4 (Sinfonie Der Lieder) 交響曲

為獨唱聲樂、兒童合唱團和管弦樂團創作的《德梅第四交響曲》靈感來自 19 世紀的多首德國詩歌。前三個樂章使用了與古斯塔夫-馬勒相同的歌詞：弗裡德里希-呂克特（Friedrich Rückert）的《童謠》（Kindertotenlieder）。交響曲的後半部分繼續以死亡為主題，使用了海涅（Heinrich Heine）的一首詩（《兩兄弟》）。最後兩首歌，即雨果-馮-霍夫曼斯塔爾的《早春》和《哈雷金之歌》，隱喻了重生、新生和希望。這首交響曲是應南蒂羅爾青年管弦樂團的要求，為義大利多比亞科一年一度的馬勒音樂節而創作的"

原文簡介:
The De Meij 4th Symphony for solo voice, children's choir and wind orchestra was inspired by a variety of 19th century German poems. The first three movements use lyrics from the same source as Gustav Mahler: Kindertotenlieder by Friedrich Rückert. The second half of the symphony continues on the death theme, using a poem by Heinrich Heine ('Two Brothers'). The last two songs, 'Early Spring' and 'Song of the Harlequin' by Hugo von Hofmannsthal are a metaphor for rebirth, new life and hope. The symphony was written at the request of the South-Tirol Youth Wind Orchestra, for the annual Mahler Festival in Dobiacco-Italy.
