A German Requiem

Anna-Maria Gkouni

Approved

Music Director Juraj Valčuha leads Brahms’s extraordinary A German Requiem. Written during a time of personal grief for Brahms, the Requiem offers music of time-altering beauty as a balm of comfort, peace, and uplifting hope to those experiencing grief and loss. The concerts open with Tōru Takemitsu’s emotionally powerful Requiem for strings.

In the Composer’s Words:
The full title of Brahms’s Requiem (A German Requiem) refers to the fact that the text is sung in Brahms’s native German, instead of Latin, as was traditional. In a letter to a friend Brahms confessed, “I admit that I could happily omit the ‘German’ and simply say ‘Human.’
