A German Requiem op. 45

Scored for mixed chorus, two solo voices and full orchestra, this masterpiece of choral music is Brahms’ greatest, most ambitious vocal work. It reflects his virtuosic grasp of 19th-century vocal technique as well as thepolyphonic vocal traditions of the previous three centuries.

One of the most performed and recorded works in the repertoire of religious music, A German Requiem appears here in full score with bar-numbered movements.
