Brahms, Brahms, Brahms (and a touch of Hassler)
Church of St. Charles Borromeo, 21 Sidney Pl., Brooklyn Heights
Brahms wrote many a cappella pieces, with rich harmonies, challenging counterpoint, and emotional expression. Hassler had a similar way of composing: imitative part writing, largely homophonic, albeit without Brahms' sophisticated harmonies. Bach was influenced by Hassler as Brahms would later be influenced by Bach. Brahms was both a traditionalist and an innovator, looking both backward and forward.
