The Frostburg State University Department of Music presents "A German Requiem" by Johannes Brahms, under the direction of Dr. Karen Soderberg, Sunday, May 4, at 3 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center, Pealer Recital Hall.
Deemed one of the most highly esteemed works in music literature, the German Requiem, op.45, Brahms labored over it for 11 years (from 1857 to 1868), and it is his longest major work.
The work uses two soloists, a choir, an orchestra consisting of three flutes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two trumpets, three trombones, four horns, timpani, strings and organ. Soloists include soprano Preshanti Navaratnam from London, England, and baritone Carl Johnson from New York. The 120-voice choir includes the Cumberland Choral Society and the FSU University Chorale.
