Johannes Brahms: ein deutsches Requiem/a German Requiem, op. 45 (1868)

Complete version with orchestral score.
0:00 Selig sind, die da Leid tragen
9:56 Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras
23:10 Herr, lehre doch mich
32:07 Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen
37:34 Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit
44:53 Denn haben wir hie keine bleibende Statt
56:16 Selig sind die Toten
Brahms's mother died in February 1865, a loss that caused him much grief and may well have inspired Ein deutsches Requiem. Brahms's lingering feelings over Robert Schumann's death in July 1856 may also have been a motivation, though his reticence about such matters makes this uncertain.
His original conception was for a work of six movements; according to their eventual places in the final version, these were movements I-IV and VI-VII. By the end of April 1865, Brahms had completed the first, second, and fourth movements. The second movement used some previously abandoned musical material written in 1854, the year of Schumann's mental collapse and attempted suicide, and of Brahms's move to Düsseldorf to assist Clara Schumann and her young children.
Brahms completed all but what is now the fifth movement by August 1866. Johann Herbeck conducted the first three movements in Vienna on 1 December 1867. This partial premiere went poorly due to a misunderstanding in the timpanist's score. Sections marked as pf were played as f or ff, essentially drowning out the rest of the ensemble in the fugal section of the third movement. The first performance of the six movements premiered in the Bremen Cathedral six months later on Good Friday, 10 April 1868, with Brahms conducting and Julius Stockhausen as the baritone soloist. The performance was a great success and marked a turning point in Brahms's career.
In May 1868 Brahms composed an additional movement, which became the fifth movement within the final work. The new movement, which was scored for soprano soloist and choir, was first sung in Zürich on 12 September 1868 by Ida Suter-Weber, with Friedrich Hegar conducting the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich. The final, seven-movement version of A German Requiem was premiered in Leipzig on 18 February 1869 with Carl Reinecke conducting the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Chorus, and soloists Emilie Bellingrath-Wagner and Franz Krückl.

Singing this in choir. It’s so beautiful and fun to sing!

Thank you so much for this. :-) Love this work so much :-) And you used one of my all time favorite recordings of it; probably after Robert Shaw's Atlanta Symphony recording. :-) I love following along with the score, whenever possible. Do you think you could do the Requiem by Antonin Dvorak also? That is probably my favorite of all the Requiems, if I had to choose.....
