The seventh season concert of the Oregon Mahler Festival will feature Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9. The work was composed in 1908 and 1909.  It was the last symphony he completed, though he did leave significant material for his unfinished 10th.  As he composed the 9th, he knew he had a serious heart condition, and feared that his end was near.  Mahler died in May 1911, without ever hearing his Ninth Symphony performed. The work's very slow and serene ending is usually interpreted as Mahler's conscious farewell to the world.
