Johannes Brahms’ A German Requiem (Ein deutsches Requiem), Op. 45, is a seven-movement choral work that focuses on comforting the living rather than praying for the dead. Composed between 1865 and 1868, it uses German biblical texts (Protestant/Lutheran) selected by Brahms himself, emphasizing themes of solace, sorrow, and ultimate peace. It was inspired by the death of his mother and likely Robert Schumann.
