Johannes Brahms – A German Requiem
English Translation by Robert Shaw
National Presbyterian Church Festival Choir & Orchestra
Sunday, April 13, 2025 at 5 pm
This presentation will be striking for its performance of the legendary Robert Shaw’s English translation of the original German. In this we’ll be in good company, as Brahms himself chose, not Latin, but his own vernacular tongue to convey the passages he chose and set from Holy Scripture. His deliberate choice of German and our choice of English offer immediacy of expression and comprehension to singers and audience alike. Brahms would applaud our commitment to intelligibility in choosing Shaw’s sage and meticulous rendering.
