Brahms: A German Requiem performed by the NEC Concert Choir and NEC Philarmonia at the Jordan Hall on December 2, 2014 • Brahms: A German Requiem • CHORUS: Selig sind, die da Leid tragen • CHORUS: Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras • BARITONE, CHORUS: Herr, lehre doch mich • CHORUS: Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen • SOPRANO, CHORUS: Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit • BARITONE, CHORUS: Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt • CHORUS: Selig sind die Toten • Jacquelyn Stucker (Soprano), Zachary E.E. Johnson (Baritone) • Conductors: Erica Washburn and David Loebel • Although he called his work A German Requiem, Brahms “would gladly have dispensed with that adjective and called his work 'A Human Requiem,' reported the critic Michael Steinberg in his book Choral Masterworks: A Listener’s Guide. • Steinberg continues: “The words that begin the Mass for the Dead in the Catholic liturgy are 'Grant them eternal rest, O Lord' but that is not the concern on Brahms’s mind. The dead are not mentioned in 'A German Requiem' until the penultimate section, and then it is in the phrase 'the dead shall be raised incorruptible.' And when the last movement begins with the words from 'Revelation,' 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth,' we hear not anxious or ardent prayer, but the voice of assured faith. Brahms’s address is to us, the living who remain to mourn and suffer. The verse from 'Revelation' which ends 'A German Requiem' closes the circle that begins with the Beatitude 'Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.' • ABOUT NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY • A cultural icon that will mark its 150th anniversary in 2017, New England Conservatory (NEC) is recognized worldwide as a leader among music schools.
