Although the work is usually associated with the Christmas season, it is a timeless piece that can be programmed at any time during the school year. The string parts mirror the voice parts, but are in the more comfortable key of G major, rather than the original B≤ major. String teachers may want to consult with their choral counterparts to determine if combining their groups might provide a unique experience for all of their students.All the string parts remain in first position. The work contains the less common alternating meters of ëand ò, and will provide students with insight into the unique rhythmic style of the Renaissance period. A piano part is included for rehearsal purposes.Performance suggestions: By listening to a recording of the original vocal performance and focusing on the lyrics, students will understand where to use a connected legato bowing style for running eighth-note passages and for the longer note durations, as expressed in the lyric “Ho-di-e, Ho-di-e†that alternates with a light detached style “No-e, No –e, No-e.†A most recent YouTube link is suggested here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2rAkZE5UU0.

Here is an ardent prayer for strong, abiding faith. The setting, which features sopranos and tenors in the highest ranges of their voices, is best sung by a choir that can provide power and strong vocal support. Interest is supplied in the luxurious harmonies, change of meter, soaring tessituras, and subtly shifting tonal centers.

Between melancholy and exuberanceDuring his summer vacation in 1891 Brahms composed six vocal quartets which would appear in print later that autumn. This set, to become Brahms's opus 112, clearly falls into two groups. The first two in the melancholic tone of the poems Sehnsucht (Longing) and Nachtens (At Night) by Franz Kugler come upon four Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Lieder) bursting with vitality and power. The first public performances of the work were very positively received. Even while Brahms was still alive, the work was performed not only by the four solo voices originally intended, but also by choruses. Breitkopf & Hartel's new practical edition of the Quartette follows the music text of the critical edition of the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition.
