Requiem allemand
Overview
Intro
Brahms
On Sunday March 14, at 3:30 pm, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will perform Brahms' "German Requiem" in the Abbey Basilica for its traditional Passion Concert. Composed during the summer of 1866 between Zurich and Baden Baden, the genesis of "Ein deutsches Requiem" dates back to 1856, with the death of Robert Schumann, the composer's mentor. Another painful loss for Brahms was that of his mother, in February 1865. From these bereavements, he would write a work of phenomenal power, from the darkness of loss to the confident light of rest; much more than a band-aid for the heart, a balm for the soul. In order to share his work as widely as possible, Brahms proposed a version for piano four hands, as early as 1871, in London. Tickets are on sale at www.martolet.com or from the Saint-Maurice tourist office.
