"Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen" from Brahms' German Requiem

:

This movement's title translates to "How lovely is thy dwelling place". Brahms' Requiem isn't the standard Roman Catholic liturgy - the texts focus not so much on those who have passed as on those who are left behind to mourn. I was fortunate to sing in the chorus for the Brahms Requiem in the spring of 2002. The comfort of this movement reduced me to tears.
