Brahms' Requiem
«Som en mor trøster barnet sitt, slik vil jeg trøste dere.» Disse ordene fra Jesajas bok er et av bibelversene Johannes Brahms valgte ut til Ein deutsches Requiem. Han skrev dødsmessen etter morens død og ville at musikken skulle gi etterlatte trøst.

Johannes Brahms (1833−1897) var 31 år gammel da han mistet moren i februar 1865. Han stod henne svært nær, og Brahms børstet støvet av en idé han hadde hatt liggende noen år om å skrive en dødsmesse – et rekviem. Ideen kan ha stammet fra hans første og viktigste mentor, Robert Schumann. Schumann og Brahms møttes i 1853, men allerede året etter ble han innlagt på mentalsykehus der han døde to år senere. Det kom senere frem at Schumann planla å skrive et rekviem på tysk, og det er mulig han delte ideen med Brahms.

I stedet for å bruke den latinske messeteksten valgte Brahms ut tekstene fra Luthers tyske bibel. Det viktigste for Brahms var ikke hyllest av eller forbønn for de døde, men å trøste og oppmuntre de gjenlevende. En av tekstene er fra Jesaja 66:13: «Som en mor trøster barnet sitt, slik vil jeg trøste dere.» Verket begynner med et vers fra Bergprekenen (Matt. 5:4): «Salige er de som sørger, for de skal trøstes.» Ordet «salig» (selig) åpner og avslutter også syvende og siste sats. Ein deutsches Requiem ble urfremført i sin helhet i Bremen i 1868.

Brahms' Requiem
"As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you." These words from the book of Isaiah are one of the Bible verses Johannes Brahms chose for Ein deutsches Requiem. He wrote the mass for the dead after his mother passed away and wanted the music to comfort the bereaved.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was 31 when he lost his mother in February 1865. He was close to her, and Brahms brushed off an idea he had had for a few years to write a mass for the dead - a requiem. The idea may have originated from his first and most important mentor, Robert Schumann. Schumann and Brahms met in 1853, but the following year, he was admitted to a mental hospital and died two years later. It was later revealed that Schumann planned to write a requiem in German, and it is possible that he shared the idea with Brahms.

Instead of using the Latin Mass lyric, Brahms chose Luther's German Bible texts. The most important thing for Brahms was not a tribute to or intercession for the dead but to comfort and encourage the living. One of the texts is from Isaiah 66:13: “As a mother comforts her child, I will comfort you." The piece opens with a verse from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:4): "Blessed are those who mourn,for they shall be comforted.” The word "blessed" also opens and closes the seventh and final movement. Ein deutsches Reqiuem was premiered in its entirety in Bremen in 1868.
