A German Requiem - Brahms
Paisley Abbey
7.30pm
Price: £16 (£8 for Students/Unemployed)
The City of Glasgow Chorus returns to the Abbey once again for a
performance of Brahms’ much-loved German Requiem featuring
soloists Hazel McBain, Soprano and Paul Keohone, Baritone.
For many years, Brahms had been preoccupied with the idea of composing a Requiem
but only in 1866, when he was 33, did he commence serious work on it. The work’s
title reflects Brahms’ use of the Lutheran Bible rather than the Latin one, compiling
the texts himself from both the Old and New Testaments. It has little in common with
the conventional Requiem Mass, focussing as it does on the living.
