Max Reger wrote many songs but only one orchestral song, An die Hoffnung ( To Hope) on a poem by Hölderlin. Hugo Wolf scored twenty-four of his songs for voice and orchestra, including Prometheus. Other examples include Grieg's Den Bergtekne, op. An example of a single long song text is found in Sibelius' tone poem Luonnotar. For this reason the orchestral song may be either a longer single song or, more commonly, a cycle. The genre of orchestral song tends to longer programmed pieces than songs accompanied by piano. The form was brought to fruition by Mahler, to the extent that it is difficult to say where Mahler's symphonies end and where his symphonic songs begin. Long after Berlioz' publication of his orchestrations of Les nuits d'été in 1856, Liszt finally published his own orchestration of Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, as a dramatic scene for voice and orchestra in 1874. Liszt also had the operetta composer August Conradi orchestrate his Le juif errant and Jeanne d'Arc around 1848, but these too were neither published nor performed. Among the earliest experiments with orchestral song are those of Liszt who orchestrated several of his songs in the 1840s but did not publish them. Full orchestration, to enable a song to "hold its own" in a 19th-century concert environment, developed from the 1840s. Beethoven and Schumann too had occasionally provided instrumental accompaniment to some songs. What was effectively song with instrumental accompaniment – the cantata and the aria – had been part of music since the early baroque.
