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.
