Join the Chorales for one of the most celebrated pieces ever composed and an evening of uplifting and gorgeous music.
The Brahms’ Requiem is a particularly unique work among requiems. The requiem mass was a respected musical genre by the time Brahms began to compose his, but his would be unlike any other. By using German instead of Latin, and themes of comfort to the living instead of prayers for the souls of the dead, Brahms wrote a requiem that is lovely, peaceful and hopeful and is a tribute to his beloved mother. Brahms’ Requiem cemented Brahms place as a venerable composer and this piece a masterwork.
