Brahms Johannes - 2 Songs Op.91 - Voice(s) And Various Instruments (par 10 Minimum)

SKU: BR.PB-5375

The orchestrations of these six Schubert Lieder are occasional works in the best sense of the term. With one exception, Brahms wrote them at the suggestion of his friend, the baritone Julius Stockhausen.

ISBN 9790004210741. 10 x 12.5 inches.

Some of the songs were published in 1933 and 1937, in editions that are hard to come by today and not too reliable as well. Two of the pieces are published here for the first time ever, Greisengesang and the first version of Ellens zweiter Gesang.

It is unknown when exactly Brahms wrote his 13 Kanons op. 113, a collection of 13 rounds for female voices. However, it is likely that the individual pieces were composed between 1859 and 1863 and for various occasions. In this period, Brahms did various counterpoint studies to which the rounds as one the strictest forms of counterpoint fit nicely. Another contributing factor around this time was Brahms' work with the newly founded Hamburger Frauenchor [Hamburg Female Choir]. Some of the rounds can be found in the part books of this ensemble. The innocent, small, amorous lines that should be sung lightly and joyfully by pretty girls were not published until 1891. For the whole set, Brahms received the formidable salary of 6000 marks. As well as using lines by famous writers, Brahms drew lyrics from folk songs, too.

For three, four and six female voices a cappella.
