Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897):
EINFÖRMIG IST DER LIEBE GRAM

A wonderful canon for female chorus a cappella.

The score in this video is from the first edition of 1891 (C. F. Peters, Leipzig). It has been scanned by the Brahms-Institut in Lübeck and can be found here:

Einförmig ist der Liebe Gram,
ein Lied eintöniger Weise,
und immer noch, wo ich's vernahm,
mitsummen musst' ich's leise.

(Friedrich Rückert)

Love's grief is monotonous,
a song with but a single tune,
and always when I heard it,
I had to hum it too.

The Monteverdi Choir
Directed by John Eliot Gardiner

  • Thanks for your observation, I didn't know that. I just listened to the Schubert song with Quasthoff and Barenboim. It's is very beautiful as well, I think.

  • The theme of this canon is from Schubert's winterreise lied "Der Leiermann".
