JOHANNES BRHAMS
Ein deutsches Requiem, nach Worten der heiligen Schrift
(A German Requiem, To Words of the Holy Scriptures, Op. 45)
- A large-scale work for chorus, orchestra, soprano and baritone soloists, composed between 1865-1868
- Work in seven movements, Brahms's longest composition
- This work is sacred, but non-liturgical
- It is thought that Brahms's mother's death, as well as the death of Robert Schumann may have inspired this work.
- Brahms assembled the libretto himself, text derived from the German Luther Bible.
- While other Requiems begin their focus on prayers for the dead, "Ein deutches Requiem" focuses on the living.
