Sehnsucht from Six Vocal Quartets, Op. 112 by Johannes Brahms: New Orchestration

Not long ago, I went looking for titles from among my favorite secular choral gems by Brahms that apparently had not yet been orchestrated by anyone. The Six (Vocal) Quartets, Op. 112, stood out to me. Working on Sehnsucht was a challenging but rewarding experience. Here is a link to the scrolling score on YouTube. 

I look forward to working on the next one, Nächtens. I plan to post about each one of the six vocal quartets as I complete work on them and make them available. Here is a description. Thank you for listening.
