Brahms - Schaffe in mir, Gott, ein rein Herz op. 29 nº 2 (Salmo 51, v.v. 12-14
NDR - Chor, G. Jena

Schaffe in mir, Gott, ein rein Herz,
und gib mir einen neuen gewissen Geist.

Verwirf mich nich von deinen Angesicht,
und nimm deinen heiligen Geist nicht von mir.

Tröste mich wieder mit deiner Hilfe,
und der freudige Geist erhalte mich.

  • I'm sorry to be the "musically illiterate" person here, But this song is a pain in the ass to learn. I have never encountered such a challenging piece of music like this in my life, but I'm enjoying every second of it. :) lol

  • The best interpretation I have ever heard. It combines the character of the German text without too much sentimentalism, the robust nature of Romantic singing without opulence, and urgency and drive that avoids the overindulgent rubato traps. Utterly moving.

  • I like it!

  • Actually not well sung.

  • Haha, I´m german and I couldn´t understand a word without reading it xD Wonderful piece, though :)

  • The 1st Bass is not really the best one and all that vibrato in all of the voices destroys the complete atmosphere...

    The Bass should try not to have that much vibrato and sing a little bit more "fat" as we call it in german...

    The Soprano should try to sing the higher tones right and not too deep, they´re all not right...

    The dumpling of the Tenor is terrible... they really have to work on that...

    The song itself is great!

  • Im singing this in my collegiate choir!

  • Mum, Stop singing !

  • @gahhhh13

    the tempo marking is andante con moto, which Brahms put in himself, and this piece is around 72 BPM, andante is anywhere from 76-108 BPM... and it says "con moto" so...

  • Quite astute, TheRealmsofGold! Bernius' Stuttgart Kammerchor's version comes closest to that ideal. Theirs is truly exquisite and nonpareil.

  • @JMPNavarro: great review. It is a fine performance, but the better the performance, the more worthy of nitpicking. I would say that this choir does not exhibit appropriate sensitivity to the contrapuntal balance in the second movement. They suffer from "uniform dynamic syndrome," as I call it—though they get louder and quieter at times, it is always all together. When a part hands the baton to another, the former's singers are not shutting up to let the more important line shine through.
