The Ithaca Community Chorus and Chamber Singers present Johannes Brahms' "A German Requiem"

Conductor Gerald Wolfe speaks with WSKG's Bill Snyder about theIthaca Community Chorus' performance of Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem.  It is not a requiem in Latin in the traditional sense that Mozart's, Verdi's, or Faure's are, but comforting words from scripture in a language that Brahms' listeners would have understood. After the death of Brahms' mother, he added an extra movement with a soprano solo.  It's one of the most beloved works in the choral repertoire. https://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wskg/local-wskg-1039528.mp3Photograph courtesy of Zabowski via Flickr
