About

Finchley’s Choir and Orchestra come back together for our final concert of the season. This contains two towering nineteenth century masterworks.

Having broken the symphonic mould with the ‘Eroica’, in his fifth symphony Beethoven pushes the boundaries of the form again, not least in the scoring which now includes trombones and, in the triumphant finale, a piccolo.

For the German Requiem, possibly inspired in part by the deaths of Brahms’ mother and his fellow composer Robert Schumann, Brahms chose Lutheran texts in his own language rather than the Catholic Latin form. Much the most substantial choral piece he wrote, it focuses on the living rather than the dead, beginning “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
