Board of Directors

Artistic Staff

Administrative Staff

Welcome

We’re especially grateful to our concert sponsor, ORS Board Member Sherril Gelmon, for not only supporting the artistic vision of this concert but also introducing us to the Hopewell House, our concert partner for this performance. Their work providing compassionate end-of-life care resonates deeply with the spirit of this music, and we encourage you to learn more about all they do.

As this season draws to an end and we begin looking ahead to our 2026–2027 season, we hope you will consider making a season-ending, tax-deductible gift to support Oregon Repertory Singers, or perhaps you’d like to make a leadership gift and sponsor an upcoming concert. Your generosity helps make all of this possible, from the music on stage to the community we build together. Thank you for being part of this season with us.

Lauren Bryan
Executive Director

Welcome to the final concert of our 52nd season. It has been a remarkable journey shaped by bold artistic choices, meaningful community connections, and a shared belief in the power of music to move, heal, and unite us. In the fall, we undertook one of our most meaningful projects, Sing for the Cure, bringing together voices and stories in a powerful expression of hope and support. Tonight, we close with Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem for two pianos and timpani, an intimate and compelling instrumentation that reveals the different dimensions of this beloved work. It’s a fitting end to a season that’s embraced both big moments and quieter ones, all reflecting the range and artistry we strive for at Oregon Repertory Singers.

Program Notes

Johannes Brahms wrote Ein deutsches Requiem not as a prayer for the dead, but as a consolation for the living. Rather than setting the traditional Latin text of the Catholic Mass, he crafted his own libretto from the Lutheran Bible, opening with the words "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." It is one of the gifts of enduring art that its truths refuse to stay in the past: Music written to meet one moment of human suffering has an uncanny way of finding us in our own time of need. This is music that holds grief and joy in the same breath; I believe that is precisely what we need right now.

What makes this Requiem so extraordinary is how Brahms binds all seven movements into a single, unbroken emotional argument. Keys mirror each other across movements. Tempos and textures echo and answer. Nothing is accidental. The same hesitant, rising melodic gesture that opens the work permeates every major theme across all seven movements — growing, developing, transforming. When we finally hear its triumphant resolution on the words "Selig sind die Toten" — Blessed are the dead — we feel we have traveled somewhere, and arrived. What Brahms understood, and what this music teaches, is that mourning is not the opposite of joy: It is the path to reclaiming joy after loss.

Tonight, you’ll hear this masterwork in a rare and intimate arrangement. August Grüters, a conductor and contemporary of Brahms, created a version for two pianos that is not a mere reduction but a genuine reimagining — one that strips away the orchestral cushion and places the choir at the center of everything. Every vocal line is exposed, every harmony laid bare. It is, in some ways, the most visceral way to hear this music. And since we have a large body of 100 singers on stage, we have combined Grüter's version with an update by composer Heinrich Poos that includes the orchestral timpani part to underscore Brahms’s most dramatic moments.

This is our 52nd season finale, and I chose this piece deliberately. That Brahms's answer to grief still speaks so directly — more than 150 years after he wrote it — is a testament to what great art can do. That this choir is still here after 52 years, still gathering, still singing, still refusing to look away from the full weight of human experience — I think Brahms would understand that too. Together, with beauty, we endure.

Guest Artists

Praised for her “crystalline tone and delicate passagework” (San Francisco Chronicle) and for the warmth and “deep poignancy” of her singing (Palm Beach Arts Paper), soprano Arwen Myers captivates audiences with radiant artistry and technical precision. A “rare vocalist who’s as comfortable performing early music as she is taking on contemporary works” (Stir Vancouver), she brings expressive range and stylistic fluency to repertoire from the Baroque to today.
Arwen’s solo appearances have spanned leading ensembles across North America, including Philharmonia and Portland Baroque Orchestras, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Charlotte Bach Festival, Seraphic Fire, and Lorelei Ensemble, and she has collaborated with such distinguished conductors and leaders as Nicholas McGegan, Monica Huggett, David Hill, Alexander Weimann, Beth Willer, and Aisslinn Nosky.
The 2025–26 season marks the release of two landmark recordings: I Melt in the Sun of Your Beauty with Baroque Music Montana, recorded at the exclusive Tippet Rise Art Center, and Philip Glass’s 1000 Airplanes on the Roof with Third Angle New Music – the only complete recording of the work. She previously created the soprano role in the world premiere and recording of Zachary Wadsworth’s JUNO-nominated When There is Peace: An Armistice Oratorio with Chor Leoni, released in 2019.
Her recent performances have drawn consistent acclaim: “radiant voice and impeccable technique” (Oregon Arts Watch), “rare combination of refinement and beauty” (Vancouver Classical Music), and Bach “so joyful it made me want to dance” (WDAV Charlotte). Of her title role in Handel’s Semele, San Francisco Classical Voice noted, “Her musicality and demure demeanor remained a renewable pleasure.”
Based in Portland, Oregon, Arwen lives with her husband Brian and a very sassy tabby named Florentine. Learn more at arwenmyerssoprano.com.

Her work spans classical, jazz, folk, and popular genres. Since 2004, she has served as collaborative pianist for the Oregon Repertory Singers, and her performance career has included appearances at venues such as Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, the Portland Jazz Festival, and live broadcasts on All Classical Portland’s Thursdays at 3.
A published composer with Graphite and Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Naomi is also a contributing composer for the Oregon Symphony Lullaby Project. Her compositions, praised by Fanfare Magazine for their “mastery of choral writing,” have been performed worldwide in a wide range of settings, from primary school choirs to professional choruses, as well as in sacred services and academic performances.

Other works, including “Night of Silence,” “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence,” and “Winter Solstice,” were included on the Oregon Repertory Singers’ 2023 album 50. Naomi’s background in music theory, musical analysis, and composition, along with her extensive experience as a choral accompanist, chamber musician, and soloist since 2001, deeply informs her compositional voice.
She is regularly commissioned to write new choral works and arrangements, further expanding her contribution to the choral repertoire. Her music, whether written for choirs, chamber ensembles, soloists, or orchestras, is deeply rooted in themes of nature, spirituality, and human connection.

Text & Translations

Brahms based his text on Martin Luther’s translation of the Bible.
This English translation is taken primarily from the King James Version of the Bible.

I. Blessed are they that mourn

Selig sind, die da Leid tragen, denn sie sollen getröstet werden.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Die mit Tränen säen, werden mit Freuden ernten.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Sie gehen hin und weinen und tragen edlen Samen, und kommen mit Freuden und bringen ihre Garben.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

II. For all flesh is as grass

Denn alles Fleisch ist wie Gras und alle Herrlichkeit des Menschen wie des Grases Blumen. Das Gras ist verdorret und die Blume abgefallen.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away.

So seid nun geduldig, lieben Brüder, bis auf die Zukunft des Herrn. Siehe, ein Ackermann wartet auf die köstliche Frucht der Erde und ist geduldig darüber, bis er empfahe den Morgenregen und Abendregen.
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Aber des Herrn Wort bleibet in Ewigkeit.
But the word of the Lord endureth forever.

Die Erlöseten des Herrn werden wieder kommen, und gen Zion kommen mit Jauchzen; ewige Freude wird über ihrem Haupte sein; Freude und Wonne werden sie ergreifen und Schmerz und Seufzen wird weg müssen.
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

III. Lord, make me to know mine end

Herr, lehre doch mich, dass ein Ende mit mir haben muss, und mein Leben ein Ziel hat, und ich davon muss.
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

Siehe, meine Tage sind einer Hand breit vor dir, und mein Leben ist wie nichts vor dir.
Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee.

Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen, die doch so sicher leben. Sie gehen daher wie ein Schemen, und machen ihnen viel vergebliche Unruhe; sie sammeln und wissen nicht wer es kriegen wird.
Surely every man walketh in a vain show. Surely they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Nun Herr, wess soll ich mich trösten? Ich hoffe auf dich.
And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

Der Gerechten Seelen sind in Gottes Hand und keine Qual rühret sie an.
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

IV. How lovely are thy dwelling places

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth!
How lovely are thy dwelling places, O Lord of hosts!

Meine Seele verlanget und sehnet sich nach den Verhöfen des Herrn; mein Leib und Seele freuen sich in dem lebendigen Gott.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Wohl denen, die in deinem Hause wohnen, die loben dich immerdar.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.

V. Ye now therefore have sorrow

Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit; aber ich will euch wieder sehen und euer Herz soll sich freuen und eure Freude soll niemand von euch nehmen.
And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Sehet mich an: Ich habe eine kleine Zeit Mühe und Arbeit gehabt und habe grossen Trost funden.
Ye see how for a little while I labor and toil, yet have I found much rest.

Ich will euch trösten, wie Einen seine Mutter tröstet.
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.

VI. For here have we no continuing city

Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt, sondern die zukünftige suchen wir.
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Siehe, ich sage euch ein Geheimnis; wir werden nicht alle entschlafen, wir werden aber alle verwandelt werden.
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.

Und dasselbige plötzlich, in einem Augenblick, zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune. Denn es wird die Posaune schallen, und die Toten werden auferstehen unverweslich, und wir werden verwandelt werden.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Dann wird erfüllet werden das Wort, das geschrieben steht: Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg.
Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel? Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Herr, du bist würdig zu nehmen Preis und Ehre und Kraft, denn du hast alle Dinge geschaffen, und durch deinen Willen haben sie das Wesen und sind geschaffen.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou has created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

VII. Blessed are the dead

Selig sind die Toten, die in dem Herrn sterben, von nun an. Ja der Geist spricht, dass sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit; denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.

Concert Partner

Hopewell House is our concert partner for Brahm’s Requiem because we share a belief that comfort, dignity, and care—especially at the end of life—are worthy of our deepest attention. Brahms’ Requiem is not a work about fear or judgment, but one of compassion for the living and solace for those who grieve. Hopewell House embodies these same values, providing equitable, compassionate end-of-life care for individuals and families, regardless of circumstance. Together, we affirm that this stage of life deserves tenderness, presence, and beauty.

Concert Sponsor

I am delighted to help sponsor ORS's presentation of the Brahms Requiem. I volunteer with ORS where I am a Board member, and at Hopewell House where I am the co-lead of the volunteer Garden Team. This concert showcases the powerful vocal artistry of ORS with a unique two-piano accompaniment in a musical work that has been described as "a radiant, joy-filled work about death." Hopewell House is a community resource that provides individuals with compassionate end-of-life care, and supports their families and friends through the process. Bringing these two organizations together to share their assets with the greater Portland community brings me great joy. I encourage anyone who has reached the age of 70 1/2 to consider a similar ORS sponsorship taking advantage of the QCD (qualified charitable donation) incentive for tax purposes.

Sherril Gelmon
