This gorgeous piece is always on my mind in Autumn, but especially this year. Choral music doesn't get any better than this, folks. I'm very excited to be performing this in a few weeks.

That is absolutely beautiful! I was searching on you tube earlier today hoping to find a new choral piece ro listen to and meditate by. Couldn't find anything I liked. So glad you posted this. Thank you!
@Bliss
Here's the entire album. Enjoy.

He certainly didn't write boring alto lines.
I encourage you to check out the other movements in op.104 linked in about reply in this thread. I sang the complete set with my undergrad chamber choir, and that's where I fell in love with Brahms' choral writing.
@voltronic Angelic! I'm making my way through the full play list. Perfect evening... listened while getting ready for bed music. Im now off to sing with cherubs. 🙂
THANK YOU!
@voltronic
Thank you! As a former choral alto, tears were flowing.
