German Music
The final Main Stage concert in our Music Around the World series of 2025-26 is German music. The program opens with Josef Rheinberger’s Drei geistliche Gesänge, followed by W. A. Mozart’s brilliant Symphonie Concertante for violin and viola with orchestra. After the intermission we present Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. The Rheinberger work, composed for choir alone, is a group of three sacred songs: Morgenlied (Morning Song), Dein sind die Himmel (Yours Are the Heavens), and Abendlied (Evening Song). Texts from the Lutheran bible and poetry of Hoffmann von Fallersleben are set to beautiful five- and six-part romantic harmonies. The Symphonie Concertante offers an opportunity to showcase a couple of musicians we always enjoy making music with – Victor Fournelle-Blain of Montreal
