"Немецкий реквием" (German Requiem) is a choral work composed by Johannes Brahms between 1865 and 1868. Unlike traditional requiems, which are often liturgical, this piece is based on texts from the Lutheran Bible and reflects themes of comfort and hope rather than judgment. The work is structured in seven movements and is notable for its rich harmonies and emotional depth. It was first performed in Bremen in 1868 and has since become one of Brahms's most celebrated compositions, often performed in concert halls and churches around the world.
