Work & Edition Details
"The Gesang der Parzen op. 89 (Song of the Fates) was composed by Johannes Brahms in the summer of 1882. In his last work for choir and orchestra, he sets an excerpt from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s drama Iphigenia in Tauris to music. According to Max Kalbeck, he was inspired to do so by Charlotte Wolter’s (1834–1897) portrayal of Iphigenia at the Burgtheater in Vienna. The composition was written during a stay in Ischl, together with two chamber music works, and is thematically closely related to the Schicksalslied op. 54 (Song of Destiny, PB 3220) from 1871. The successful premiere took place in Basel in December 1882, and in April 1883, it was also performed as part of a birthday concert for the dedicatee, Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen. This edition is based on the Urtext of the Brahms Complete Edition of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. The full score and piano vocal score are now available for purchase again, as is the choral score, while the orchestral parts are available for hire."
