Brahms, Johannes

Brahms, Johannes
(7 May 1833, Hamburg – 3 April 1897, Vienna)
   Chiefly renowned for his symphonies, chamber music, piano works, and Lieder, Brahms also composed works for chorus, both accompanied (two motets for women’s voices, two for mixed voices, and one "sacred song") and unaccompanied (seven motets, seven {}Marienlieder, and six sacred choruses). Most of these were composed for choral societies and exhibit Brahms’ mastery of canonic techniques learned from extensive study of the stile antico. He also contributed substantially to the organ repertory: 11 chorale preludes, three preludes and fugues, and a single fugue. His best known sacred work, by far, is A German Requiem.
