Johannes Brahms’ glorious 1868
choral masterpiece bears little
relation to the traditional Roman Catholic funeral mass. In con- junction with his colleague—theologian
and choirmaster Karl
Reinthaler—the composer chose moving funeral texts from the
Protestant Bible, to create a
humanistic “German” requiem.
Inspired in part by the death of his mother, Brahms’ work was premiered Good Friday, 1868 at the
Bremen Cathedral. The ora- torio
initially featured six movements for chorus, solo baritone and symphony orchestra. He
later added the sublime “Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit” for solo soprano and chorus. The work was recorded at the April 2,
2010 Good Friday performance at the beautiful Kimmel
Center in Philadelphia, with the
Vox Ama Deus Ensemble led by Valentin Radu, with Ed Bara, solo bass and Tatyana Galitskaya, soprano. John Ostendorf, producer BRAHMS Ama Deus Ensemble
