Programme Note
Bath Cantata Group launches their 2019-20 Season with one of the greatest masterpieces of the Romantic era: Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem.
Unlike the traditional Missa pro defunctis, Brahms' Requiem is a setting of seven beautiful passages from scripture that he chose himself in order to communicate a positive and optimistic message of consolation, hope and joy to come.
