Die Fünfundvierzig (German Edition)

English-German Dictionary

---

In contrast to the traditional Roman Catholic Requiem Mass , which employs a standardized text in Latin , the text is derived from the German Luther Bible.

Brahms's first known use of the title Ein deutsches Requiem was in an letter to Clara Schumann in which he wrote that he intended the piece to be " eine Art deutsches Requiem " a sort of German Requiem. Brahms was quite moved when he found out years later that Robert Schumann had planned a work of the same name.

Brahms told Carl Martin Reinthaler , director of music at the Bremen Cathedral , that he would have gladly called the work " Ein menschliches Requiem " A human Requiem. Although the Requiem Mass in the Roman Catholic liturgy begins with prayers for the dead "Grant them eternal rest, O Lord" , A German Requiem focuses on the living, beginning with the text "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

This theme—transition from anxiety to comfort—recurs in all the following movements except movements IV and VII, the central one and the final one. Although the idea of the Lord is the source of the comfort, the sympathetic humanism persists through the work. Brahms purposely omitted Christian dogma. In the Bremen performance of the piece, Reinthaler took the liberty of inserting the aria " I know that my Redeemer liveth " from Handel 's Messiah to satisfy the clergy. In addition to soprano and baritone soloists and mixed chorus, A German Requiem is scored for:.

Since Brahms inserted the fifth movement, the work shows symmetry around the fourth movement, which describes the "lovely dwellings" of the Lord. These two slow movements also share musical elements, especially in their ending.

Movements II and VI are both dramatic, II dealing with the transient nature of life, VI with the resurrection of the dead, told as a secret about a change. Movements III and V are begun by a solo voice.

In the third movement, the baritone requests " Herr, lehre doch mich " "Lord, teach me" ; the choir repeats his words several times, making the personal prayer more general. In the fifth movement, the soprano and chorus sing different text, corresponding to each other.

As opposed to Baroque oratorios, the soloists do not sing any arias, but are part of the structure of the movements. Almost all movements, with the exception of IV and VII, connect different Bible verses, which lead from suffering and mourning to consolation. The very last word of the work is the same as the first: The following table is organized first by movement, then within a movement by Bible quotation where appropriate , which generally also causes a change in mood, expressed by tempo , key and orchestration. The title of each movement is bolded.

The choir is in four parts, with the exception of a few chords. The choir is not especially mentioned in the table because it is present throughout the work. The translation is close to the original. Links to the King James Version of the Bible are supplied.

The German War: A Nation Under Arms, 1939-45 by Nicholas Stargardt review – a superb study

Resentment of the regime grew as allied bombs rained on Germany, displacing millions and killing more than , Despite this lack of national cohesion and the growing war fatigue, Germans kept fighting. They had to win the war at any cost, soldiers believed, to protect their loved ones and to make Germany impregnable. As another soldier wrote to his wife just weeks before the final surrender: And although the focus is on wartime Germany, we also see the suffering the war brought to the rest of Europe: Crucially, the death and destruction wrought by the German conquerors was not hidden from the population back home.

Germans knew that the regime relied on pillage and plunder, bolstering the war effort with raw materials and slave labour from across Europe. And they knew that huge numbers of Jews were murdered in the east.

Historians have long debunked the postwar myth of German ignorance about the Holocaust, and Stargardt presents further evidence that the genocide was an open secret. Nazi propaganda also dropped heavy hints, creating a sense of societal complicity: View or edit your browsing history.
