520 Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem (1868) has been the focus
of much scholarly research. The present study focuses
specifically on the work's dialectic: the presentation and
resolution of a conflict between mortal suffering and
eternal joy. It takes an Schenkerian approach to the tonal
content of the piece, which provides a musical reflection
of the human spiritual journey to the afterlife. It
examines how Brahms brings his chosen texts to life with
the aid of musical processes such as mixture, register
transfer, coupling, covering lines, and contrasting
textures. The present study will cite previous authors who
have noted the opposing forces in the Requiem's
construction. To the wealth of theoretical and historical
writing about Brahms's Requiem the present study will
contribute an Schenkerian account of musical processes
that are integral parts of the work's philosophical
dialectic
