Johannes Brahms – Ein deutsches Requiem
View through CrossRef
Chapter 8 begins with historical precedents, including Brahms’s appointments as a choral conductor during his early professional life, his interest in and performance of works by J. S. Bach, and his association with Robert Schumann—of short duration but of profound influence. Substantial discussion is also given to the texts about life suffering that Brahms chose for most of his sacred choral compositions. The Requiem is discussed in terms of its long gestation, unification through use of musical motifs, and balanced and mirror structures. Performance practice issues include timbre and vibrato, metric accentuation, disposition of performers on stage, and tempo fluctuation.
