The poem "The Resurrection" by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock was set to music by Gustav Mahler in the fifth movement of his Second Symphony, also known as "Resurrection".

The central movement from Mahler's setting of the text was used in "A Tribute to Mahler" in 2011, a composition created as a tribute to Mahler, 100 years after his death. Powerful brass sounds and delicate woodwind melodies alternate in a Mahleresque manner with distant horn and trumpet signals. The chorale is angelically surrounded by the solo alto saxophone.

"A Tribute to Mahler" is intended, like a continuation "after a brief rest," to give us a glimpse into the blessed world into which we will all one day go.
