Die Nonne und der Ritter (The Nun and the Knight), Opus 28, No. 1 for Alto & Tenor Trombones with Piano accompaniment by Johannes Brahms was written as part of a four-song set published in 1863 and dedicated to Mrs. Amalie Joachim a noted German/Austrian contralto. She was the wife of violinist Joseph Joachim and friend to Clara Schumann and Brahms.
The song, beautifully arranged by Elliot Chasanov for Alto and Tenor Trombones with Piano accompaniment, is subdued, haunting and very lyrical. The form is A-B-A with an agitated middle section returning to the mysterious quiet of the beginning.
The almost 6-minute work is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.
