Johannes Brahms, composer of The Requiem to be presented Sunday was bom in 1833 at Hamburg, Germany and lived in com- poverty. He studied piano, but was not 9 prodigy a's was Mo 'iart qnd some other composers. He lupporlcd himself by playing in taverns of questionable repute. At 20 he met Robert Schumann ind his wife, Clara.

The death of Robert Schumann in 1856 and of his mother in 1865, cause Brahms lo devote i greit deal of profound thought to the subject of dealh and life after death.

This it not a requiem in the us. ual sense of a mass for the dead, but a concert work based on pas- sages which Brahms himself se- from the Lutheran transla- lion of the Bible.

Much of the same material is contained in the Angli- can and Episcopiliin services for the burial of the dead. The work ihows Brahms' natural optimism; the main emphasis is on life after death, on rfealh as a triumph. Brahms is said to have worked long 'ind deliberately from 1857 lo 1JM in composing this work.
