SUMMARY:Brahms' Requiem
DESCRIPTION:The Durham Singers’ next concert ‘Brahms’ Requiem’\, wh
 ich will take place at St Oswald’s Church\, Durham\, presents glimpses o
 f love in Brahms’ life (1833-1897).\n\nThe centrepiece of the evening is
  Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem — arranged by the composer for piano\, 
 four hands — exhibiting the chamber-like detail of the work\, with Aliso
 n Gill and David M Harris as the accompanists. The Requiem\, premiered in 
 1868\, was likely inspired by the death of Brahms’ mentor Robert Schuman
 n in 1856 and that of his own mother in 1865. Our baritone soloist will be
  Joshua Lane.\n\nTo begin the concert\, we sing Clara Schumann’s ‘Aben
 dfeier in Venedig’ (‘Evening celebration in Venice’). Written as the
  first of Drei gemischte Chöre (‘Three mixed choruses’)\, the piece r
 eminds us of the close friendship between Clara and Brahms. Brahms’ exqu
 isite cantata Schicksalslied (‘Song of Destiny’)\, often dubbed “Lit
 tle Requiem’\, is also arranged for four-part chorus and piano\, four ha
 nds.\nAnd the much-loved aria ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth’ from Ha
 ndel’s Messiah\, is sung by soprano Anna Dias. It was the last movement 
 at the first performance of Brahms’ Requiem.\n\nOur striking image is fr
 om Arnold Böcklin’s 1883 painting ‘Isle of the Dead’\; Brahms great
 ly admired this Swiss symbolist painter’s work.\n\nJoin us for an intima
 te and moving evening\, exploring destiny\, mourning and hope.\n \n\nFor
