Messa da Requiem: No. 12. Sanctus

---

Absolve, O Lord, the souls of all the faithful departed from every bond of sin. And by the help of Thy grace may they be enabled to escape the avenging judgment. And enjoy the bliss of everlasting light. A sequence is a liturgical poem sung, when used, after the Tract or Alleluia, if present. The sequence employed in the Requiem, Dies irae , attributed to Thomas of Celano c. The first English version below, translated by William Josiah Irons in , [2] replicates the rhyme and metre of the original.

The second English version is a more formal equivalence. O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the bottomless pit: Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to his seed. Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus: We offer to Thee, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers: Grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to that life, Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to his seed.

This is as the Sanctus prayer in the Ordinary of the Mass:. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.

Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who cometh in the Name of the Lord. This is as the Agnus Dei in the Ordinary of the Mass , but with the petitions miserere nobis changed to dona eis requiem , and dona nobis pacem to dona eis requiem sempiternam: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: Lamb of God , Who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest. Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant them eternal rest. May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy Saints for evermore: Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them: With Thy Saints for evermore, for Thou art gracious. As mentioned above, there is no Gloria , Alleluia or Credo in these musical settings. The Pie Jesu consists of the final words of the Dies irae followed by the final words of the Agnus Dei. Pie Iesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Dona eis requiem sempiternam.

Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest; grant them eternal rest.

Musical Requiem settings sometimes include passages from the "Absolution at the bier" Absolutio ad feretrum or "Commendation of the dead person" referred to also as the Absolution of the dead , which in the case of a funeral, follows the conclusion of the Mass. Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo, dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira.

Deliver me, O Lord, from death eternal in that awful day. When the heavens and the earth shall be moved: When Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.

Dread and trembling have laid hold on me, and I fear exceedingly because of the judgment and of the wrath to come. When the heavens and the earth shall be moved. O that day, that day of wrath, of sore distress and of all wretchedness, that great day and exceeding bitter. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. In paradisum deducant te Angeli: May the Angels lead thee into paradise: May the choir of Angels receive thee, and mayest thou have eternal rest with Lazarus , who once was poor.

For many centuries the texts of the requiem were sung to Gregorian melodies.

The Requiem by Johannes Ockeghem , written sometime in the later half of the 15th century, is the earliest surviving polyphonic setting. There was a setting by the elder composer Dufay , possibly earlier, which is now lost: PDF scanned by archive.

Contents 1 Performances 1. Achim Freyer created a production for the Deutsche Oper Berlin in that was revived in , and For a Paris performance, Verdi revised the Liber scriptus to allow Maria Waldmann a further solo for future performances. With its premiere at the Royal Albert Hall performance in May , this revision became the definitive edition that has been most performed since and the original fugue now survives only in early published vocal scores.

Franz Liszt transcribed the Agnus Dei for solo piano S. It has been recorded by Leslie Howard.

Throughout the work, Verdi uses vigorous rhythms, sublime melodies, and dramatic contrasts—much as he did in his operas—to express the powerful emotions engendered by the text. The terrifying and instantly recognizable Dies irae that introduces the traditional sequence of the Latin funeral rite is repeated throughout. Trumpets surround the stage to produce a call to judgement in the Tuba mirum , and the almost oppressive atmosphere of the Rex tremendae creates a sense of unworthiness before the King of Tremendous Majesty.

Yet the well-known tenor solo Ingemisco radiates hope for the sinner who asks for the Lord's mercy. The Sanctus a complicated eight-part fugue scored for double chorus begins with a brassy fanfare to announce him "who comes in the name of the Lord".

Finally the Libera me , the oldest music by Verdi in the Requiem , interrupts. Here the soprano cries out, begging, "Deliver me, Lord, from eternal death When the Requiem was composed, female singers were not permitted to perform in Catholic Church rituals such as a requiem mass. In his open letter proposing the Requiem project when it was still conceived as a multi-author Requiem for Rossini , Verdi wrote: This may have slowed the work's acceptance in Italy. At the time of its premiere, the Requiem was criticized by some as being too operatic in style for the religious subject matter.
