Description

"Lösche die Lampe getrost, hülle in Frieden dich ein" ("Put out thy lamp with good heart, lay thee then peacefully down") – Johannes Brahms's final cycle of secular songs for mixed choir a cappella paints a striking picture of mortality, ultimate happiness and lost youth. The 4- to 6-part songs fascinate with their immense power and range of expression, which runs from short, quiet, melancholy phrases ("breathe tremblingly forth", "O lifeless falleth") to elements of folk song (the horn calls in Nightwatch II) to mighty climaxes and double-choir effects produced with great economy of means. The closing movement in Autumn, with its idiosyncratic harmonies, is certainly one of Brahms's best secular compositions.
