About the Music
A German Requiem, Brahms's largest work, originated with music he wrote following Robert Schumann's attempted suicide in 1854 as well as music composed at the time of his own mother's death. The result is an utterly personal response to the Requiem text, employing soprano and baritone soloists, chorus, and orchestra.
