The University of Arizona Symphony and choir will perform Brahms German Requiem for the first time since 2007 in honor of retired piano professor Paula Fan, who died in February.

Cathalena E. Burch The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music will remember one of its own with a performance Sunday, April 30, of Brahms’s comforting “Ein Deutsches Requiem” , a large-scale work for orchestra and choir.

The concert will be dedicated to retired piano professor Paula Fan, who died in February while on tour with baritone Jeremy Huw Williams in Australia. She was 71. People are also reading… Brahms’ seven-movement German Requiem, composed between 1865-68, was his longest composition, clocking in at nearly 80 minutes, and was inspired by the death of his mother in 1865 and his lingering grief over the death of Robert Schumann nine years earlier. But unlike other composers of his day whose requiems were based on Biblical liturgy, Brahms saw the requiem as an opportunity to celebrate the dead while comforting those left behind.
