| Added by magataganm, 17 Jan 2024 Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, he spent much of his professional life in Vienna. He is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow. He composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, voice, and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire. Brahms has been considered both a traditionalist and an innovator, by his contemporaries and by later writers. His music is rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters. Embedded within those structures are deeply Romantic motifs. While some contemporaries found his music to be overly academic, his contribution and craftsmanship were admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar. The detailed construction of Brahms's works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers. 'Fünf Lieder' (Op. 94), united by its tonalities for low voice, and with texts that can, and should, be sung by one singer, is one of the composer’s published groupings that repays performance as a whole, or even as a kind of mini-cycle. Brahms’s friend, the surgeon Billroth, clearly perceived it is a kind of equivalent to Schubert’s Winterreise, although he saw the songs as being equally linked with autumn. Certainly, in the first song, the imagery of taking up the wanderer’s walking staff with renewed energy as the narrator makes his way to his final destination, is strongly reminiscent of the closing sentiments of Das Wirtshaus from Schubert’s great cycle. "Sapphische Ode" is a German secular lied composed by Johannes Brahms in 1884. The poem's lyricist is Hans Schmidt (1856–1923). The piece is orchestrated for singing with an orchestra, but can also be composed for a single voice with accompaniment on piano. The poem is about the marriage of nature and God, spirit and water. The first stanza of the poem describes the scent of roses and the dew that showers the picker. The second stanza describes the fragrance of kisses and tears that fall over lovers.

Although originally written for Voice & Piano, I created this arrangement of the "Sapphische Ode" from 'Fünf Lieder' (Op. 94 No. 4) for Oboe & Piano.
