German Requiem

Description

On Sunday, March 14th at 3:30 PM, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will perform Brahms' "German Requiem" as part of its traditional Passion concert in the abbey basilica. Johannes Brahms, a leading figure of German Romanticism, is a master of voices. The work "Ein deutsches Requiem," created in the summer of 1866 between Zurich and Baden-Baden, actually dates back to 1856, when Robert Schumann, the composer’s mentor, died. Another painful loss for Brahms was that of his mother in February 1865. Out of this grief, he composed a work of phenomenal power, from the darkness of loss to the trusting light of peace; more than a bandage for the heart, a balm for the soul. In 1871, Brahms presented a version for piano four hands in London to disseminate his work as widely as possible. The keyboard duo familiar with this piece is Céline Latour Monnier and Florent Lattuga. Non-numbered seats. Tickets can be purchased at www.martolet.com or at the Saint-Maurice Tourist Office.
