Des Knaben Wunderhorn (Mahler) The songs of Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Boy’s Magic Horn) by Gustav Mahler are voice-and-piano and orchestral settings of German folk poems in a collection of the same name assembled by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano and published by them, in heavily redacted form, between 1805 and 1808.

Mahler began work on his next group of Wunderhorn settings in 1892. A collection of 12 of these was published in 1899, under the title Humoresken (‘Humoresques’), and formed the basis of what is now known simply (and somewhat confusingly) as Mahler’s ‘Songs from “Des Knaben Wunderhorn”‘.
