Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. This new edition of Johannes Brahms s Schicksalslied, op. 54 for mixed choir and orchestra is a modern Urtext edition of the score based on current editorial principles. It is based not only on the composer s personal copy of the first edition as the primary source, but also on the engraving manuscript which was long thought to have been lost. Thus the composer s handwritten corrections made in this manuscript could be incorporated in the new edition, as well as a revision in this bilingual edition of the English translation of Friedrich Hölderlin s dramatic poem. With this work Brahms created a very personal interpretation on the theme of fate in a timless piece of music thatwill not fail to impress in concert hall or church. / Date parution : 2023-06-02/ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB et Piano
