All UW Choirs present a masterwork of the choral canon, Ein deutsches Requiem, op. 45 by Johannes Brahms, with two pianos featuring Nathália Kato and Emily Alley. “Ein Deutsches Requiem” is one of Brahms’ most well-known and beloved works, a work of consolation and hope offered in the German vernacular language; a requiem for all people. It follows a set liturgy and is a Catholic musical response and petition for the soul of the deceased. Brahms chose to deviate from the texts of a traditional requiem and instead crafted scriptures from the Luther Bible that would be a solace for those left behind. We hope you will join us for this fantastic musical experience! Dr. Holly Dalrymple and Dr. Brian C. Murray, conductors.
