Four Quartets op. 92
1877
Brahms always had a fine feeling for lyrical quality. His cycle Vier Quartette ("Four Quartets") op. 92 for voices and piano, setting four poems by Goethe, Daumer, Allmers, and Hebbel, demonstrates his musical skills in a particularly moving way. The cycle is about the romantic night atmosphere, about melancholy reflections on autumn, and secret noctural amorous adventures.
The Urtext edition from Carus comprises a conductor’s score in large format and a choral score, both underlaid with singing text in German and English, and the piano accompaniment. The cycle can be performed by solo voices and piano, or by four-part mixed choir and piano.

Sommaire

Compositeur
Johannes Brahms
| 1833-1897Johannes Brahms' study of musical tradition was of crucial importance to his output: he combined church modes, canonic technique, Baroque style and diction, Bach's counterpoint and Beethoven's thematic-motivic work with the harmonic and expressive achievements of Romanticism to form his own distinctive style. In this respect his choral songs and vocal quartets (e.g. the “Liebeslieder Waltzes” and “New Liebeslieder Waltzes”), often to folk song texts, in which a musical microcosm unfolds, are examplary. His “Deutsches Requiem”, available from Carus in several different versions, constitutes one of the most fascinating confessions of faith in the history of music. Plus d'information sur la personne
