3. Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942)

Zemlinsky has become much more well known over recent years. He was well known as a conductor and was friends with a lot of famous composers, including Korngold, Mahler and Schoenberg and he conducted many of their works. In 1938, to escape Nazi persecution he fled to the US, only to die four years later in relative obscurity.

Alexander Zemlinsky composed in all styles including, as in the following example, choral music. It's an early piece and so sweet sounding. I thought the folks at Musica In Extenso (I think they may be fans of choral stuff), might like this. Frühlingsglaube for choir and string orchestra.
