Brahms
A German Requiem
"A requiem not for the dead, but meant to comfort those left behind."
Archival Record & Lore
Unlike traditional Latin Requiems focusing on judgement and hellfire, Brahms compiled his own texts from the German Luther Bible in 1868. The result is a profoundly humanistic, comforting work designed to soothe the grief of the living.
