A German Requiem, Op. 45: SATB With S,Bar Soli (Orch.) (English Language Edition) (Kalmus Edition)
English Edition. This 96 page choral score is taken from a previous Belwin Mills publication. It provides the choir and soloist parts along with a piano reduction of the orchestral parts, with notations, instrument cues, and vocal text in English language. This was to be Brahms' longest work, in 7 movements, and was based on sacred biblical text, originally written in the German language, and therefore did not follow the traditional Latin requiem text. Includes: Blessed are they that mourn * Behold, all flesh is as the grass * Lord, make me to know the measure of my days on earth * How lovely is thy dwelling place * Ye are now sorrowful * Here on earth we have no continuing place * Blessed are the dead.

The score is fine but the main problem is the poor quality of the print. It is as if you are looking at copy of a copy of a copy. Everything is a bit blurry and because the print is relatively small, I had difficulty reading it. I went back to an earlier Peters Edition I bought in East Germany 30 years ago. It is the same engraving, only ten times better!
This is the full score in a readable format. I wish it had the full German text (which is, of course, in the music) printed in addition to the full translation in the preface. Otherwise, an excellent copy.
This performance true to Brahms.
Print is ok, pageturning good (hope it will last), would like text in german in addition to english in the beginning
The text is a little fuzzy, but it's still legible.
