A Requiem for Humankind
About this event
Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutches Requiem ( A German Requiem) composed in the language of his people rather than in the traditional liturgical Latin which extends prayers for the souls of the dead, Brahms offers comfort to the living. Brahms remarked “I would very gladly omit the ‘German’ as well, and simply put ‘of Humankind,’” suggesting he wished to offer solace to All, regardless of beliefs or backgrounds.
Experience one of the most enduring choral expressions of Comfort and Hope for the Living with organist Rodney Gehrke.
