The Meistersingers are excited to share the climactic pinnacle to its 25th anniversary season, the masterwork that is Johannes Brahms’ Requiem. Few of Brahms’ works display their influences as openly as his Requiem does; numerous passages clearly evoke the music of Schumann, Beethoven and Bach. At the same time, every measure is unmistakably Brahms. Though the death of his mother was the immediate catalyst for the work, Brahms’ German Requiem is more concerned with offering comfort to the living. “I would very gladly omit the ‘German’ as well, and simply put ‘of Mankind,’” suggests that he wished to offer this solace to all listeners, regardless of their own religious beliefs or backgrounds. Musically, the requiem was a major milestone in Brahms’ career. Indeed, it would be the longest and most grandly scored piece he would ever write.
