Lullaby by: J.Brahms arr. by Alireza Khajavi Performed by: The Khajavi Quarted
______________________________
Lullaby from 5 Lieder ung Gesänge, op. 49 Johannes Brahms
After the first performance of Ein deutches Requiem, Brahms turned solely to the composition of
vocal works during the following summer of 1868. The Magelone Romances and the final chorus of Rinaldo were completed during this time, but also twenty-five
Lieder and Gesängewere put together
into the five sets that make up op. 43 and opp. 46-49. Many of these songs are
settings of poems by the minor poets Daumer and Hölty, with the addition of a
few folk texts. Overall, the songs of these sets dispense with the dramatic
qualities of the Magelone Romances
and embrace an introspective and melancholy expression.
The most famous of the songs from these sets is
the Wiegenlied from op. 49, commonly
known as "Brahms's Lullaby." Brahms composed the song for Bertha Faber (a
member of the Hamburger Frauenchor when Brahms was its director) on the
occasion of the birth of her son. The original German lyrics are of folk
origin. The melody is commonly heard with English lyrics and the Hebrew words
of Jacob's blessing in Genesis 48:16 have also been adapted to it. Joseph DuBose
