Michael Barrett, Music Director
Winter 2012–2013:
Brahms & Early Music
The music library of Johannes Brahms showed
the composer’s respect for artists of the past. It
is no surprise to find Mozart, Haydn & Bach on
his shelves, but he also collected works of Schutz,
Isaac, and other composers that were relatively
unknown in his time. Brahms brought these composers to the Viennese public, helping to usher
in the concept of the ‘canon’ in Western musical
life. We present a sample of the works Brahms
held so dear.

“Melodies rang clear. Full awareness of harmonies,
one by one, and the chorus’s unyielding focus
constantly caused this listener to admire such
extraordinary accomplishment … I was happy to
discover this committed ensemble.”
— David Patterson, Boston Musical Intelligencer
