Ein Deutsches Requiem for Instruments (Excerpt)
Every year, members of the community combine with the students of my alma mater, MSSU (Missouri Southern State University) to form the Southern Symphonic Chorus, and alongside the Southern Symphony Orchestra, we perform beautiful orchestral works from Beethoven's 9th to Orff's Carmina Burana, and everything in between or of a similar nature. Performing these great masterworks does a great service to my hometown of Joplin, MO, in that it brings class to what some folks claim would otherwise be a classless town. (I'm not so sure about that, but that's what the people have said so in the past about it.)
In 2015, the masterwork was Ein Deutsches Requiem (German Requiem) by Johannes Brahms, Op. 45. It consists of seven movements, and the titles of each movement refer to passages out of the Bible.
Movement 1 is entitled "Selig sind, die da leid tragen,", or "Blessed are those who mourn" (Matthew 5:4).
This instrumental rehearsal track is for my usual lineup for instruments:
Alto saxophone (representing soprano part)
Tenor saxophone (representing alto part)
Baritone saxophone (representing bass part)
Glockenspiel (representing tenor part, although playing in a different octave to fit within the limits of the instrument)
Vibraphone (playing the bass part in treble clef)
Marimba (playing accompaniment)
Piano (also playing accompaniment)
Original music is public domain
This arrangement (C) me and me alone
EDITOR'S NOTE: I won't be able to put all the movements on here due to the fact some files exceed the 10 MB limit. I will, however, make a journal posting all of them once I get them done, just as I did with my take on Beethoven's 9th symphony.
