The original version of the Requiem contained six movements and was completed in August 1866. The premiere took place the following April, with Brahms conducting, on Good Friday at the Bremen Cathedral. It was a tremendous success, though to appease the clergy, the performance included the aria “I know that my Redeemer liveth” from George Fredric Handel’s Messiah. Brahms would later write one additional movement - the fifth - and the final version was premiered in Leipzig on February 18, 1869, by the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Chorus with soloists Emilie Bellingrath-Wagner and Franz Krückl, conducted by Carl Reinecke.
