My orchestra is including in its next concert a piece by Mahler, "Rueckert Lieder" (sp?). Anyone know the brass section instrumentation (if any) for this composition? Thanks.

According to Daniels it's 4331

There is a small tuba part with a couple of chords to these beautiful songs. The tuba and trombones set the atomsphere in the song "Nacht". I will not say, as some people have in this forum, that you should pack a book, but be prepared to sit out a lot if this is the only piece you play on the programme. John
