Brahms started work on his lush setting of Friedrich H lderlin's poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion's Song of Destiny) in 1868 but did not complete it until 1871, being unsatisfied with the ending until he completed his better-known Alto Rhapsody, Op.53. The vocal score offered here is a clean digitally-enhanced reprint of the classic vocal score issued by Breitkopf & H rtel in the early 20th century edited by the eminent musicologist Eusebius Mandyczewski. Matches the widely available reprint orchestral parts offered by E.F. Kalmus (A1343) and Luck's Music Library (07292).
