Question: I need the to find a site that shows the sheet music to he song the seas, by Johannes Brahms?

It is for a duet and is in a book called 48 duets, i cant find anything.

Answer: Hmm, you've had me scratching my head on this one, but here goes

In Brahms' 4 Lieder op 96, the fourth, "Mein liebchen, wir saßen beisammen" (Heine), has the title 'Meerfahrt' (Sea Voyage). In the original Brahms Gesamt Ausgabe (i.e. complete works edition) it became no.48 of Vol. 15, "Lyrischen Intermezzos" of that edition. (It subsequently moved up a few places to no 42 in later reprints.) No 'duet' comes into it unless we want, somewhat misleadingly, to name voice & piano a 'duet'. You can find the score of the 4 Lieder op.96 here ('Meerfahrt' is, as I said, no 4, pg 12):

That's the best I can do with what you've provided and still get just about everything to fit...

Hope it helps.
