Saffron Walden Choral Society: Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem

Saffron Walden Choral Society: Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem

Presented by Saffron Walden Choral Society

A concert stage full of people including a large choir on risers, a chamber orchestra and several formally dressed soloists

Like many composers, Brahms began writing his Requiem after a personal bereavement – the death of his mother in 1865.

From the opening ‘Blessed are those who mourn’ to the final ‘Blessed are the dead’ its glorious arc of seven movements resonates with a sense of our shared humanity in times of loss. Saffron Walden Choral Society will perform a version with two pianos and timpani, expanded from Brahms’ own piano duet arrangement. They are joined by baritone Felix Kemp and soprano Miriam Allan, who cam to worldwide attention singing at Prince Philip's funeral.
