Op. 89. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The Three Fates or Parcae were the goddesses of fate in Greek-Roman mythology and sang on themes of curse and fate. The Parzenlied in Goethe?s verse drama ?Iphigenie auf Tauris? is concerned with these themes and became the model for Johannes Brahms?s setting. His Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) op. 89 describes in thrilling eruptive sounds the fight to overcome the mythical curse through the purity of truthful noble actions and the power of hope.With a duration of around 12 minutes the work can be combined with Brahms?s ?German Requiem? in concert. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / SAATBB et Orchestre
