Brahms composed his Triumphlied for eight-part chorus, solo baritone and orchestra as a direct reaction to the victory of the German army in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and the consequent founding of the German Empire. Similar to the German Requiem completed shortly before, Brahms himself compiled the text from the Bible, in this case from Chapter 19 of the Book of Revelations. Because of the somewhat melodramatic tone of the composition and the nationalistic background to the works genesis, in recent years the Triumphlied has seldom been heard in concert halls. Unlike overly-patriotic occasional works such as Richard Wagner's Kaisermarsch, the Triumphlied is true Brahms and is a musically rich composition. This study edition takes the musical text from the Brahms Complete Edition (HL 51486030), thereby representing the highest scholarly precision. The Appendix contains an exciting new discovery, a previously-unknown early version of the 1st movement in C major, which was only rediscovered in 2012 in Bremen.

Bei der Neuschrift des Stucks im Winter 1995-96, funfzig Jahre nach seiner Entstehung (als Buhnenmusik zu Molieres Comedie ballet Georges Dandin, aus der anschliessend ein Ballett wurde mit dem englischen Clown Jack Pudding in der Titelrolle), ist es mir darum gegangen, den alten Notentext auszulosen und sein thematisches und harmonisches Material nach Kriterien zu ordnen und zu entwickeln, die mir seinerzeit noch nicht zur Verfugung standen, und die recht skizzenhafte Anlage des Urtexts in eine Klangwelt heruberzutragen, die meinen heutigen Vorstellungen und Wertbegriffen von Theater und Musik entspricht und die gleichzeitig das heutige kulturelle Klima Neapels widerspiegelt und damit eine besondere Art von Wirklichkeit, die mich einmal so sehr gefangengenommen, bezaubert und beeinflusst hat.- Hans Werner Henze
