1995 Miracle Yearbook

The oratorio, originally a Catholic requiem, was sung by a choir to free a soul from purgatory. The Protestants ofthe time enjoyed the music but did notshare the beliefofthe message behind it. Johannes Brahms,a German Lutheran who did notbelieve in purgatory,wrote hisown requiem taking his textfrom Luther's German Bible as well as the Apocrypha. On Sunday,December 3, 1994,Dr. Mark Spencer directed Cedarville College's Oratorio Chorus in Brahms'"A German Requiem" consisting ofseven sections all sung in English with assistance from Eric Anderson. The requiem was accompanied by Melissa Baughman on piano and Phyllis Warner, organ teacher for the music department,on the organ.
