Johannes Brahms s organ works in a sense frame his whole oeuvre. He wrote several preludes and fugues and the chorale prelude O Traurigkeit o Herzeleid in the mid-1850s at a time when he was making an intensive study ofcounterpoint. The Eleven Chorale Preludes op. 122 on the other hand are Brahms s final work composed in 1896 immediately before and after the death of Clara Schumann. This revised Henle Urtext edition presents all of Brahms sorgan works in a single volume following the musical text of the New Brahms Complete Edition and with a preface and a commentary that reflect the latest scholarship. The early versions of two of these pieces are also given in anappendix.

Since its first complete performance in 1868 in the Cathedral of Bremen, Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem is, without question, one of the key works in the history of the oratorio. The reputation of the work is based not only on its unusually concentrated musical structure, but also on the original conception of the text: Brahms assembled important passages from both the Old and New Testaments in Luther's translation so that thoughts on sorrow and consolation would obviously refer to one another. In contrast to many other oratorios of the 19th century Brahms places the choir, the voice of the community, in the center of this interdenominational celebration of the dead. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2705500.
