Concert: Brahms German Requiem
The San Antonio Choral is pleased to announce this concert to be presented in German:
BRAHMS, Ein deutsches Requiem
3:00 pm, Sunday, April 24, 2022
St. John’s Lutheran Church
502 E Nueva St.
San Antonio, TX 78205
“A German Requiem,” also termed “Human Requiem” by Brahms, was written following the death of his mother. In place of customary liturgical requiem texts, with their pleas of sparing the deceased from judgment, Brahms warmly sets Luther’s German translation of the Bible in heartfelt compassion toward those left behind. This exquisite work of consolation and contemplation, sung in German, features an 80-member chorus, four-hands piano by Geoffrey Waite and Zachary Ridgway, soprano Lily Guerrero (www.lilyguerrero.com), and baritone Jake Skipworth (www.jakeskipworth.com).
