The Three Fates, or Parcae, were the goddesses of fate in Greek-Roman mythology, and sang on themes of curse and fate. The “Parzenlied” in Goethe’s verse drama Iphigenie auf Tauris is concerned with these themes and became the model for Johannes Brahms’s setting. His Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) op. 89 describes in thrilling, eruptive sounds the fight to overcome the mythical curse through the purity of truthful, noble actions and the power of hope.
With a duration of around 12 minutes, the work can be combined with Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem, Carus 27.055/00) in concert.
Thanks to an arrangement for chamber orchestra by U. Stäuble (Carus 10.400/50), it is possible to perform the work in smaller settings.
