conducted by Bramwell Tovey. That night was the 3rd night of the SpringFest: War of the Romantics series. This night was dedicated to the conservatives: Brahms Requiem: which was a german requiem dedicated to his mother who had passed. This was one of the greatest choral masterpieces ever written. Brahms work evolved over a period of several years as early as 1854. His mother passed in 1865 and it helped him complete his requiem. He also dedicated the requiem to his dear friend, Robert Schumann who passed 10 years earlier. The requiem was sung in German by the UBC Choir. There were two solos that night sung by Tracy Dahl (soprano) and James Westman (baritone) both did exceptionally well.
Overall this was a great concert. It was quite long. The
night consisted of 7 parts which was played throughout the night for about an
hour and a half. I had a great night and I hope to attend more concerts in the
future.
