Johannes Brahms



Johannes Brahms (German: [joˈhanəs ˈbʁaːms]; 7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His reputation and status as a composer is such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.

Brahms composed "Brahms' Lullaby", which was arranged by The Wiggles who wrote Joseph John's Lullaby for their 1991 debut album and Go to Sleep Jeff (Brahms' Lullaby) for their Go to Sleep Jeff album.
