Brahms conceived the original orchestral version of his Requiem for a choir with over 200 singers. Most performances of the work will be sung with far fewer singers, resulting in a clear imbalance between the larger orchestra and smaller choir.
The present arrangement for chamber orchestra minimizes this problem and so smaller choirs, as well as choirs with more limited resources of space or finance, can now perform this unsurpassed masterpiece too. Surely practiced instrumentalists or ensembles will be happy to participate in a performance of this chamber version of the Requiem.
Major mass can also be performed by smaller choir
Wind and brass parts of the original version reduced to just five single instruments
Vocal scores and chorus scores from the original version can be used.
carus plus: the work (original version) is available in the carus music app, the Choir Coach, as well as in the Carus Choir Coach series (audio only).
