Brahms wrote a number of major works for orchestra, including two serenades, four symphonies, two piano concertos, a Violin Concerto, a Double Concerto for violin and cello, and a pair of orchestral overtures, the Academic Festival Overture and the Tragic Overture.
His large choral work Ein deutsches Requiem ("A German Requiem") is not a traditional, liturgical requiem (Missa pro defunctis), but a setting of texts which Brahms selected from the Lutheran Bible. The work was composed in three major periods of his life. An earlier version of the second movement was first composed in 1854, not long after Robert Schumann's attempted suicide, and was later finished and used in his first piano concerto. The majority of the Requiem was composed after his mother's death in 1865. The fifth movement was later added after the official premiere in 1868. The complete work was then published in 1869.
Brahms's works in variation form include the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel and the Paganini Variations, both for solo piano, and the Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn in versions for two pianos and for orchestra. The final movement of the Fourth Symphony (Op. 98) is also formally a set of variations.
His chamber works include three string quartets, two string quintets and two string sextets, as well as a clarinet quintet, a clarinet trio, a horn trio, a piano quintet, three piano quartets and three piano trios. He composed several instrumental sonatas with piano, including three for violin, two for cello and two for clarinet (which were subsequently arranged for viola by the composer). His solo piano works range from his early piano sonatas and ballades to his late sets of character pieces. Brahms also wrote about 200 songs and is considered among the greatest of Lieder composers (with Schubert and Schumann). His chorale preludes for organ, which he wrote shortly before his death, have become an important part of the organist's repertoire.
Brahms never wrote an opera, nor did he ever write in the characteristic late-19th-century form of the tone poem, strongly preferring to compose absolute music that does not refer to an explicit scene or narrative.
Despite his reputation as a serious composer of large, complex musical designs, some of Brahms's most widely known and commercially successful compositions during his life were aimed at the thriving contemporary market for domestic music-making, and are small-scale and popular in intention. These included his arrangements of popular dances, in Hungarian Dances, the Waltzes Op. 39 for piano duet, the Liebeslieder Waltzes for vocal quartet and piano, and some of his many songs, notably the Wiegenlied, Op. 49 No 4 (published in 1868). This last item was written (to a folk text) to celebrate the birth of a son to Brahms's friend Bertha Faber, and is universally known as Brahms' Lullaby.

Am Donaustrande, da steht ein Haus,
da schaut ein rosiges Mädchen aus.
Das Mädchen, es ist wohl gut gehegt,
zehn eiserne Riegel sind vor die Türe gelegt.
Zehn eiserne Riegel das ist ein Spaß;
die spreng ich, als wären sie nur von Glas.

O wie sanft die Quelle sich
durch die Wiese windet;
O wie schön, wenn Liebe sich
zu der Liebe findet!

En las orillas del Danubio hay una casa.
Allí vive una muchachita en flor.
La muchachita está bien guardada
pues diez cerrojos cierran su puerta.
Diez cerrojos de hierro ¡qué tontería!
yo los haré saltar como si fuesen de cristal.
10.-
Cuán suavemente el riachuelo
a través de la pradera corre.
¡Cuánta dicha cuando el amor,
al amor encuentra!

I was the baritone on this, first work.Had no idea it had gone to YouTube. We were were all students at RNCM. A wonderful place to study singing and all music. Rosemary Walton , accompanist, was brilliant.
@hectoralonso5284
Congratulations!!! 😁 I'd sing the baritone's melody of the #5 at university and I enjoyed a lot. You made a great perform. 👌🏼
@noharakun
awesome man thanks for this work of art this is one of my favorite interpretations
@kareninalabama
The notes state this recording was made by the BBC Singers with Catherine Edwards and John Alley as accompanists.
@dimasgirl2749
I mistook you for Bryn Terfel.
@Sm0keyBee
Im currently singing the baritone part at the university I go to. Very fun set of songs.
@mrs.antihero
My high school choir sang these with our local choral society in a joint concert and I've loved them for the almost 3 decades since. They're some of my favorite not just Brahms pieces, but classical pieces in general. Thank you for putting them here for us to enjoy. 💝🎼🎶
@itamarabramson5603
These gems make me appreciate Brahms even beyond the symphonies, dances, and Requiem. Thank you for uploading
@annette4660
Having sung these years ago, but no longer having the sheet music, what fun to sing along with your video! Thank you so much for this.
@THETexzilla
Performed these in junior college. The last great thrill of my musical journey. Op. 52 maintains a special place in my heart.
