Programme Note
‘Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted ..... Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.’ Brahms’ Requiem is a setting of passages from scripture, which he chose himself. It is music of consolation, hope, and future happiness. The work includes the beautiful chorus "Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen", "How lovely are thy dwellings".
