Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem
Johannes Brahms called his requiem a “Human Requiem.” Indeed, the words of his own choosing combine to console, comfort, and lift the souls of the living. Sibelius' dramatic Symphony No.3, Andantino con moto, quasi allegretto, and Carlos Simon’s Elegy: A Cry from the Grave (written to honor the wrongful deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Michael Brown) make this powerful presentation by the Cathedral Choirs and Orchestra a unique and much-needed moment in time.
