Johannes Brahms – Romanze, Op. 118, No. 5 (Double Reed Octet + Flute)

By the 18th century pieces entitled romance were typically lyrical in nature and written for both vocal and instrumental performance. They are usually in triple meter. Completed in 1893, this romance (Op. 118) was part of a set of compositions dedicated to Clara Schumann. It is considered to be among Brahms’ greatest works.

This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for Flute, 3 Oboes, 2 English Horns, 2 Bassoons, & Contrabassoon.
