Johannes
Brahms, born May 7, 1833
in Hamburg, Germany and
died April 3, 1897 in
Vienna where he lived
most of his life. Brahms
is one of the most famous
composers of the Romantic
period (1830-1920)
although his music has
many elements of the
Classical period (1750 to
1830) as he followed many
of the practices of
Classical composers
Haydn, Mozart and
Beethoven. In addition to
being a composer, he was
also well-known as a
pianist and conductor.
Brahms began writing the
Requiem (also known as
the German Requiem, Opus
45) soon after his mother
died in February 1865
which caused him great
grief. In April of that
year, he completed the
first, second and fourth
movements and completed
the rest of the seven
movements in May of 1868.
How Lovely is Thy
Dwelling Place (Wie
Lieblich sind Deine
Wohnungen) was the fourth
movement of his seven
movement work.
Originally written for
SATB voices in E-flat
major, this seamlessly
similar arrangement for
SAB voices, now in C
major, affords all voices
comfortable ranges.
Although, it is
approximately 5 minutes
and 30 seconds in length,
it is perceived to be
much shorter because of
the contrasting stylistic
sections within the work.
How Lovely is Thy
Dwelling Place is one of
the most beautiful choral
pieces by Brahms, perhaps
in the entire Romantic
period. Although
Brahms wrote the original
piano reduction, in this
edition, it has been made
more accessible for
pianists with a wide
range of skills. Pay
close attention to the
dynamic markings
throughout the piece,
making them apparent to
the voices, conductor,
and audience. I hope you
enjoy singing this
beautiful and timeless
piece by Johannes Brahms!
