Johannes Brahms' Schicksalslied for SATB and Orchestra.With the Schicksalslied Brahms created a very personal interpretation on the theme of fate in a timless piece of music that will not fail to impress in concert hall or church. The new edition 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 ofthe English translation of Friedrich Hölderlin s dramatic poem.
