Johannes Brahms

Born: 1833. Died: 1897. Lived in: Germany

German pianist and composer Johannes Brahms is ranked among the masters of the Romantic era. Although he showed talent at the piano at an early age, he spent much of his young life performing rather than composing. Brahms's career was given a boost by composer Robert Schumann (1810-56) and his pianist wife Clara (1819-96); his close relationship with Clara, especially after she was widowed, has been the source of much speculation ever since. The pair exchanged passionate letters and went on holiday together, but Brahms opted to leave her behind to pursue his career and a life of bachelorhood. By the end of the 1860s he'd settled in Vienna, where he lived until his death from cancer in 1897. Musically he maintained the Romantic tradition of Ludwig van Beethoven, in opposition to the rise of composers such as Richard Wagner and Brahms's friend, Franz Liszt. His most famous composition is the lullaby, "Lied Wiegenlied" ("Cradle Song"), popularly known as simply "Brahms' Lullaby." His compositions include German Requiem (1866), Violin Concerto in D (1878) and Piano Concertos in B Flat (1878-81).

Johannes Brahms : 15 Selected Songs : Solo : Songbook & CD : 884088185022 : 1423446631 : 00001141

Johannes Brahms : 15 Selected Songs

with CDs of diction lessons and piano accompaniments; includes historical notes, translations and International Phonetic Alphabet With diction lessons recorded by Irene Spiegelman, German diction coach at the Metropolitan Opera, and piano accompaniments recorded by Laura Ward, this collection of the most often taught Brahms songs is an excellent introduction to lieder. The diction for each song is recorded twice: first recited as an actor would speak it, showing flow of the language and mood, followed by a slow, deliberate lesson, allowing time for the student to repeat each line. This experienced language coach adapts the R in German in the slow versions as recommended for classical singers. She is also very sensitive to liaisons between word sounds in the musical settings.

Songlist: Botschaft, Dein blaues Auge, Die Mainacht, Feldeinsamkeit, Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer, Meine Liebe ist, Mondnacht, O liebliche Wangen, Sapphische Ode, Sonntag, Vergebliches, Von ewiger Liebe, Wie Melodien zieht es mir

Johannes Brahms : Three Sacred Choruses for Women's Voices : SSAA : Songbook : 884088959548 : 1480363936 : 35029436

Johannes Brahms : Three Sacred Choruses for Women's Voices

Many of Brahms' early choral works are the result of his work in the 1850s as director of a women's choir in Hamburg and the choral society of Detmold. These three sacred choruses are based on rather complex contrapuntal forms: O Bone Jesu is a metric double canon in contrary motion. Adoramus te, Christe is a continuous four-voice canon at the fourth, fifth and octave. Regina coeli is a canon in contrary motion sung by two soloists with choral interjections of Alleluia. Together with an Ave Maria, these comprise Brahms' only published settings of Latin texts. Duration: ca. 3:30.

Songlist: O Bone Jesu, Adoramus te, Christie, Regina coeli

Johannes Brahms : Sieben Lieder, Op. 62 : SAM : Songbook : 196288028529 : 1705156835 : 00390945

Johannes Brahms : Sieben Lieder, Op. 62

The seven choral songs, stylistically very diverse, show clear folk music traits together with Brahm's characteristic leanings towards multiple choirs and to polyphonic or canonic writing. The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for sound to create the portmanteau word sound together or harmony. The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.

Songlist: All' Meine Herzgedanken, Dein Herzlein Mild, Es Geht Ein Wehen Durch Den Wald, Rosmarin, Vergangen Ist Mir Gluck Und Heil, Von Alten Liebesliedern, Waldesnacht

James McCullough : Die Mainacht (The May Night)

The second in a series of four songs from Brahms' opus 43, which he composed in 1866, at the age of thirty-three. Its form is ternary (ABA) in structure.
 
This composion clearly lifts the folksong-like qualities of this title well into the realm of the Art Song. Even though some musicologists have found that Die Mainacht has a strong similarity to the Ukrainian folk song used in Rimsky-Korsakov's opera May Night. Duration: 3:39

O wusst' ich doch den Weg zuruck (O That I Knew the Way Back Home) : TBB : James McCullough : Sheet Music : 1.3462

James McCullough : O wusst' ich doch den Weg zuruck (O That I Knew the Way Back Home)

"Brahms' best songs are small, priceless jewels. They are unusual, mysterious, inventive, bass heavy, uncomplicated, melodious, and are glorious creations! All 206 of them are rejuvenating to hear. They are worthy of being performed more often than they are, right along with Schubert, whom Brahms revered.

My having edited and arranged this gloriously pensive and nostalgic Brahms song for chorus is an attempt to build more faithful Brahms lovers. O wusst' ich doch den Weg zuruck is a magnificent, miniature masterpiece of nostalgic longing for childhood, relinquishing mature growth, and yearning for an earthly, unattainable paradise." -James McCullough

The immortal strains of Brahms's "Symphony 1, Movement 4" create the hymn tune for this timeless classic, which features new text adapted from the "Scottish Psalter" (Psalm 46). Uses of unison and two-part voices sound rich and full, while deft harmonic touches provide a continuous thread of wonder and delight. The strong final verse commands all nations to raise their voices in God's praise and is capped by final, jubilant amens.
