Franz Schubert The Complete Works Volume 15 by Mandyczewski. Eusebius, Editor - 1965

Brahms enriched the genre of chorus and orchestra with two impressive works from the early 1880s: In 1881, he set a text to Schiller's Nänie (four-part chorus and orchestra) and the next year he set Goethe's Gesang der Parzen (six-part chorus and orchestra). Nänie was composed in memory of Brahms' deceased friend Anselm Feuerbach.

Nänie (Song of Lamentation) is not about simple despair or mere complaint. Even in such dark moments, Schiller's romanticism is expressed as a yearning for the unattainable. The work opens with "Auch das Schone muss sterben!" (Even Beauty must die), and the tension between the veracity of the message and the yearning of the human spirit for the timelessness of temporality and the eternal recurrence of beauty can be sensed in the sheer beauty of Brahm's music. Unabridged digitally enhanced reissue of the composer's own vocal score that was issued by Breitkopf and Hartel in the early 20th century, edited by Brahms' student Eusebius Mandyczewski.

Brahms enriched the genre of chorus and orchestra with two impressive works from the early 1880s: In 1881, he set a text to Schiller's Nänie (four-part chorus and orchestra) and the next year he set Goethe's Gesang der Parzen (six-part chorus and orchestra). Goethe's text explores the concept of fate as it relates to mankind. The text admonishes us to "Fear the Gods! They hold the power In eternal hands And can use it As they please." Brahms' setting portrays the contrast between the capriciousness of the fates and the uncertainty of mortals in a variety of ways. Unabridged digitally enhanced reprint of the composer's own vocal score that was issued by Breitkopf und Härtel in the early 20th century.

Brahms started work on his lush setting of Friedrich Hölderlin's poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion's Song of Destiny) in 1868 but did not complete it until 1871, being unsatisfied with the ending until he completed his better-known Alto Rhapsody, Op.53. The vocal score offered here is a clean digitally-enhanced reprint of the classic vocal score issued by Breitkopf & Härtel in the early 20th century edited by the eminent musicologist Eusebius Mandyczewski.
