This is NOT an easy piece to sing....but they make it sound easy. Well done, choir!

Flawless. I dearly love this piece, and this is the best performance I've ever heard (or sung in). This organ and this space combine to create what surely must be the most perfect setting for choral music in the world - and this choir always measures up. Thank you!

This number is a fabulous intertwine of melody and dynamic — what a perfect vehicle to show off the choir's virtuosity, silken creamy texture and thrilling range of expression.

This piece right in the center of the Requiem is stunning to me! Wow! Brahms has, always, a sweetness and a dynamic that moves me so deeply! Wonderful!

Thank you, I love your presentations. I don't watch television, or allow much time for entertainment, so this makes me very grateful.

Yep, for some reason my school decided to sing this in my 8th grade year, and I got it stuck in my head again.

I sang this my freshman year of college. It still brings back memories of singing it angelically in the choir room and as obnoxiously off-key as possible when we got out.

I'm so impressed with the altos, they hit to hard jumps perfectly in tune, the whole song was amazing! Our choir got to sing it in German, and it was beautiful.

When I was in High School, in New Jersey, at Pascack Valley, I tried out for the New Jersey State Choir. We sang this my first year, I've never forgotten this piece, so moving! wish I could go back and relive those days!

Karen Nelson

When were you in NJ State Choir? I went to Morris Knolls HS in Denville and my chorus teacher, Mr Eckstein, was the director of the state choir when I was there -- 1987, 89ish. He was wonderful. We sand this in the schools mixed chorus and I still remember every bit of this piece, much moreso than anything else we sang.

Linda Ray

Sang this 51 years ago with a 1000 voice Choir of High School Students in San Diego County. Still have the recording and still remember note for note. Have loved this forever. Greatest regret ever is being ill the whole time I lived in SLC and not being able to even audition for the Choir. So I've sung "with" them anyway for many years.

Flicka Mom

Linda Ray I sang it in high school too. Then sang the whole requiem as an adult. Wish I could still sing the high notes.

Rex Cluff

Linda, I was invited to try out for the choir when I was a senior at BYU. I declined because I knew I was going to graduate and move out of the area. Plus, there is no way I could have afforded the travel, costumes, etc. That was 40 years ago. I have always loved their music and often "direct" them from my desk while I listen.

We are singing this in my Highschool choir. One of the best Choir's in the East Coast, if not the best. Elaborate music but fun to sing in a group setting !

During my Rick College (BYU-I) days, member of the College Choir, we sang this piece for a recital that year. My favorite choir piece to sing (I sang bass) and to hear of the Brahms, Op.45. I have the 1962 Columbia release LP of the Brahms with the Phil Orch under Ormandy conducting.

Wayne Warmack

There is an old Columbia recording out there of this choir doing the entire Brahms requiem with the Philadelphia Orchestra. I had it long, long ago, but no more. It would be wonderful if someone would post it.

Brahms master piece and the choir performs it so beautifully, lovely...heaven comes down to greet the earth. Watch the ORGANIST? Watch the organist?

Coleman Brewer

Chesterbarnes1 Richard Elliott, the organist, is amazing!

Estuardo Granizo

I love it .The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is one of the best of the world.

Mr.Booker

So wonderful to hear this magnificent work with organ accompaniment instead of the orchestra sawing away and obliterating the inner voices. Reminds me of the magical accompaniments of Alexander Schreiner. Well done, Dr. Elliott!

Neil Thompson

Oh wow we sang this in church but I didn't do quite as well as those tenors.

Smiles at Neil.

Read the psalm with my family today "I'd rather spend my days as a gatekeeper at your gates than live in luxury in the palace of the ungodly." What a marvelous place it must be!

A long time ago, I considered Mormonism...and actually researched application to this wonderful group. I love how they sing, and want to do more of that...again. Northport HS Choir, c/o '76

Referring to the choir and orchestra as a group of individuals. I just subscribed today and am so surprised that there aren't more comments and praises. I've been posting one on the newsfeed.

Viola Bear

As a professional Anglican choirmaster and organist, and a violist, I have performed this work many times. The MTC do it with extreme beauty and perfection. By the way, I studied with someone who knew Brahms intimately. HE WAS NO AGNOSTIC AND BELIEVED IN GOD WITH HIS WHOLE HEART AND UNDERSTANDING.

@Gottenhimfella Oh my goodness, Atheism has been a thing since before the days of Noah. Come on now, read your Bible.

Gottenhimfella

The words were written before atheism was a thing.
Brahms wrote the music; the words are from the Book of Psalms.

JC Cappella

Viola Bear - full of yourself much? Gees!

Eleanor Dent

Brahms didn't write the words; they came from the Bible.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was once called, The Lord's Choir, and I totally agree.
They are the best.

Denise Sparkes

Amen to tht!

Gottenhimfella

I personally prefer it with organ accompaniment. To my ear, the extraordinary countermelodies come across much more coherently in the relatively sparse and lucid organ transcription than they do when swallowed up in the intended (and usual) orchestration, where you have to be actually playing one of the parts to really hear it properly.

Mr.Booker

I agree with you! Of course, not all organists can manage the effortless elegance of Richard Elliott!

Funny how though Brahms was a very strong agnostic, he wrote such beautiful settings for religious texts.

Daniel May

The church was the only entity other than nobility paying for commissions.

I am shocked that this performance was actually well done. Congratulations Mormon Tabernacle Choir !

I was confused when I saw this described as 'Requiem.' The Requiem is a Catholic Mass for the dead. Many comnposers, whatever their faith, have used the setting of the Requiem Mass. Brahms did not so it should be given the title that he gave it: 'A German Requiem.'

First Sur

Flicka Mom - it is called „a German Requiem“ officially. Moreover it is usually performed in German. It is the title on every vocal score you can purchase.

Extremely beautiful but I'd still rather hear it sung in the original German.

Greer Fried

It's weird hearing this in English.

Henry Lazar

I sang this with my choir as a youth. A splendid piece of music!
The Mormon Choir is very good, but does not quite reach the 'frisson' which is possible with his piece. I listened to the St. Mary's choir (boys) in Scotland and preferred it.
( Not my choir, by the way!)

Eleanor Dent

I expect the choir needs to be heard live for a true idea of how they sound.

You should sing it in German....

Zephaniah 3:17

I did!! with our local choral society. One of the greatest privileges I ever had, and it gave me a tremendous sense of liberation, even though I speak very little German.

RScho, Agree completely. Brahms' mother died in 1865, this was the same year he started work on this Deutches Requiem. I do also love hearing this work in the original tongue though. The message from the Holy Scriptures is the awe and joy of a departed soul as it encounters heaven for the first time! I think of my older neighbor (Professor of Music Emeritus) that witnessed Christ to me and who shared fellowship. This work echoed through my mind at his funeral. I'm sure "Prof" knew and loved this as well.
Looking forward to the day when my soul will echo the same exaltation.
Gott segne dich!
