- BBC radio broadcast, 13 August 1997, featuring the choir of St John’s College Cambridge with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christopher Robinson. Organ scholar: Peter Davis.
This is the fourth movement of Brahms’ 1868 “Ein deutsches Requiem” (Op. 45). The text (originally “Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen”) is based on Psalm 84:
How lovely are thy dwellings fair, O Lord of Hosts.
My soul ever longeth and fainteth sore for the blest courts of the Lord:
My heart and flesh do cry to the living God.
O blest are they that in thy house are dwelling:
They ever praise thee, O Lord, for evermore.
