| Brahms: |
Eine
Deutsches Requiem |
|
|
Ein
Deutsches Requiem is not in the tradition of the Roman
Catholic Latin Mass for the Dead. Brahms devised his own text,
selecting portions from Martin Luther’s translation of the Old and New
Testaments including the Apocrypha. He wanted these scriptures to
offer peace for the living and solace for the grieving rather than
divine mercy for the deceased.
The opening
passage from the Sermon on the Mount sets the tone for the entire
work:
"Blest are they that mourn; for they shall have comfort."
