This week's assignment of CW R1A is to present a powerpoint of the first movement of Johannes Brahms's Requiem. I went to the music library to search the background information and the score of the requiem. The first movement is about blessing. However, in stark contrast to the overwhelming sorrow of Mozart’s unfinished requiem, Brahms offers his listeners peace and hope. Following is the first movement "Blessed are they that mourn" of the requiem which is about conveying blessing upon the mourners. Personally, I really like the atmosphere that Brahms creates in the first movement. Peace and Hope.
It somehow does reflect my mood this week as well.... with a little taste of sorrow...
