OSW: NM Symphonic Chorus: Brahms – Requiem
2026-03-15 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
2:00 pm
Opera Southwest Presents: The New Mexico Symphonic Chorus
Brahms – Requiem
Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem)
Presented in Spanish translation
Brahms did not set a Latin mass. He called his great work “Ein deutsches Requiem—A German Requiem” – but wrote to a colleague that he would have preferred to call it “A Human Requiem.”
His intention was clear: this is music for the living, not the dead. Not bound to any single dogma, Brahms bypassed conventional liturgy to weave together scripture that speaks to sorrow, love, and release. Just three years after its premiere, the work was performed in English with the composer’s support.
In that spirit of openness and consolation, we present the Requiem in Spanish.
