Brahms Requiem 6th Mvmt

Discussion of the music and meaning of Brahms Requiem 6th Movement

[@hsuyunfeng]

Such a nice video, thank you Dr. Ted!

Your comment beginning 19 minutes is one of the best sermons on the creation of God. The difference between the material and the spiritual.

[@billdomb]

very thoughtful

This is a killer movement! Technically challenging to sing.

[@marthapaterson-cohen7489]

What a great way to prepare for the performance today. Thanks, Ted! MPC

[@retirednotlazy2298]

The performance was wonderful. Thanks Dr Ted.

It's interesting that he uses the informal "du" in this movement: ""Herr, du bist würdig zu nehmen Preis und Ehre und Kraft" and "Denn du hast alle Dinge erschaffen".

[@simonthelen5910]

To be fair, God is always addressed as "du" in German. It's the same in English (hallowed be thy name) where "thou" used to be the informal 2nd pers. singular pronoun.

[@thedoeguy]

@@simonthelen5910 Interesting. Didn't know that.

[@keesjonkheer7972]

To my mind: erschaffen is creating as in a continuous eternal process. Geschaffen is something made, and passing, ending, or ended. Does this make sense to anyone?

[@billdomb]

can't find movements Iv v and vii. ????

[@musicstewart9744]

Me, also.

Musicologists must also be able to make a living. But there is little need to listen to an exhaustive analysis of a composition that is destined for our musical and emotional centers. To enjoy listening to a movement of the Brahms Requiem requires prior familiarity and concentration. But listening to this dissertation does not justify the effort of staying awake.

[@jessemoog5310]

then why are you watching this?

[@cmcgloughlin]

A great analysis, truly. Inspiring! You lost me with the Anti-Darwinism which is not relevant. But otherwise well done.

God created evolution. Case closed.
