Requiem aeternam Chorus Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine; Lord, grant them eternal rest; et lux perpetua luceat eis. and let the perpetual light shine apon them. Children’s Choir Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion: Thou shalt have praise in Zion, of God: et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem; and homage shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem; exaudi orationem meam, hear my prayer, ad te omnis caro veniet. all flesh shall come before Thee. Chorus Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine; Lord, grant them eternal rest; et lux perpetua luceat eis. and let the perpetual light shine apon them. Tenor Solo What passing bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons No mockeries for them from prayers or bells, Nor any voice of mourning save the , -- The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them at all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes. The pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of silent minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds. Chorus Kyrie eleison Lord, have mercy apon them Christe eleison Christ, have mercy apon them Kyrie eleison Lord, have mercy apon them

II. Dies irae Chorus Dies irae, dies illa, This day, this day of wrath Solvet saeclum in favilla: Shall consume the world in ashes, Teste David cum Sibylla. As foretold by David and Sibyl.

Quantus tremor est futurus, What trembling there shall be Quando Judex est venturus, When the judge shall come Cuncta stricte discussurus! To weigh everything strictly.

Tuba mirum spargens sonum The , scattering its awful sound Per sepulchra regionum Across the graves of all lands Coget omnes ante thronum. Summons all before the throne. Mors stupebit et natura, Death and nature shall be stunned Cum resurget creatura, When mankind arises Judicanti responsura. To render account before the judge. Baritone Bugles sang, saddening the evening air; And bugles answered, sorrowful to hear.

Voices of boys were by the river-side. Sleep mothered them; and left the twilight sad. The shadow of the morrow weighed on men.

Voices of old despondency resigned, Bowed by the shadow of the morrow, slept. Soprano Liber scriptus proferetur, The written book shall be brought In quo totum continetur, In which all is contained Unde mundus judicetur. Whereby the world shall be judged. Judex ergo cum sedebit When the judge takes his seat Quidquid latet, apparebut: All that is hidden shall appear: Nil inultum remanebit. Nothing will remain unavenged. Chorus Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? What shall I, a wretch, say then? Quem patronem rogaturus, To which protector shall I appeal Cum vix justus sit securus? When even the just man is barely safe?

Soprano and Chorus Rex tremendae majestatis, King of awful majesty, Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Who freely savest those worthy of salvation, Salva me, fons pietatis. Save me, fount of pity. Tenor and Baritone Out there, we’ve walked quite friendly up to Death: Sat down and eaten with him, cool and bland,- Pardoned his spilling mess-tins in our hand. We’ve sniffed the green thick odour of his breath,- Our eyes wept, but our courage didn’t writhe. He’s spat at us with bullets and he’s coughed Shrapnel. We chorused when he sang aloft; We whistled while he shaved us with his scythe.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours! We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum. No soldier’s paid to kick against his powers. We laughed, knowing that better men would come, And greater wars; when each proud fighter brags He wars on Death - for Life; not men - for flags. Chorus Recordare Jesu pie, Remember, gentle Jesus, Quod sum causa tuae viae: That I am the reason for Thy time on earth, Ne me perdas illa die. Do not cast me out on that day.

Quarens me, sedisti lassus: Seeking me, Thou didst sink down wearily, Redemisti crucem passus: Thou hast saved me by enduring the cross, Tantus labor non sit cassus: Such travail must not be in vain.

Ingemisco, tamquam reus: I groan, like the sinner that I am, Culpa rubet vultus meus: Guilt reddens my face, Supplicanti parce Deus. Oh God spare the supplicant.

Qui Mariam absolvisti, Thou, who pardoned Mary Et latronem exaudisti, And heeded the thief, Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Hast given me hope as well.

Inter oves locum praesta, Give me a place among the sheep Et ab haedis me sequestra, And separate me from the goats, Statuens in parte dextra. Let me stand at Thy right hand.

Confutatis maledictis, When the damned are cast away Flammis acribus addictis, And consigned to the searing flames, Voca me cum benedictis. Call me to be with the blessed.

Oro supplex et acclinis Bowed down in supplication I beg Thee, Cor contritum quasi cinis My heart as though ground to ashes: Gere curam mei finis. Help me in my last hour.

Baritone Be slowly lifted up, thou long black arm, Great gun towering toward Heaven, about to curse; Reach at that arrogance which needs thy harm, And beat it down before its sins grow worse; But when thy spell be cast complete and whole, May God curse thee, and cut thee from our soul!

Chorus Dies irae, dies illa, This day, this day of wrath Solvet saeclum in favilla: Shall consume the world in ashes, Teste David cum Sibylla. As foretold by David and Sibyl.

Quantus tremor est futurus, What trembling there shall be Quando Judex est venturus, When the judge shall come Cuncta stricte discussurus! To weigh everything strictly. Soprano and Chorus Lacrimosa dies illa, Oh this day full of tears Qua resurget ex favilla, When from the ashes arises Judicandus homo reus: Guilty man, to be judged: Huic ergo parce Deus. Oh Lord, have mercy upon him.

Tenor Move him into the sun - Gently its touch awoke him once, At home, whispering of fields unsown. Always it woke him, even in France, Until this morning and this snow. If anything might rouse him now The kind old sun will know.

Soprano and Chorus Lacrimosa dies illa... Oh this day full of tears...

Tenor Think how it wakes the seeds - Woke, once, the clays of a cold star. Are limbs, so dear-acheived, are sides, Full-nerved - still warm - too hard to stir? Was it for this the clay grew tall?

Soprano and Chorus ...Qua resurget ex favilla...... When from the ashes arises...

Tenor Was it for this the clay grew tall?

Soprano and Chorus ...Judicandus homo reus. ...Guilty man, to be judged.

Tenor - O what made fatuous sunbeams toil To break earth’s sleep at all?

Chorus Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Gentle Lord Jesus, grant them rest. Amen. Amen. III. Offertorium Children’s Choir Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, libera animas omnium fidelium deliver the souls of the faithful defunctorum de poenis inferni, departed from the pains of hell, et de profundo lacu: and the bottomless pit: libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas deliver them from the jaw of the lion, lest hell tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum. engulf them, lest they be plunged into darkness.

Chorus Sed signifer sanctus Michael But let the holy standard-bearer Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam: lead them into the holy light Quam olim Abrahae promisisti, as Thou didst promise Abraham et semini ejus. and his seed.

Tenor and Baritone So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went, And took the fire with him, and a knife. And as they sojourned both of them together, Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father, Behold the preparations, fire and iron, But where the lamb for this burnt-offering? Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps, And builded parapets and trenched there, And streched forth the knife to slay his son.

When lo! and angel called him out of heaven, Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, Neither do anything to him. Behold, A ram, caught in a thicket by its horns; Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him. But the old man would not so, but slew his son, - And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

Children’ s Choir Hostias et preced tibi Domine Lord, in praise we offer to Thee laudis offerimus; sacrifices and prayers, do Thou receive them tu suscipe pro animabus illis, for the souls of those whom we remember quarum hodie memoriam facimus: this day: Lord, make them pass fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. from death to life. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti As Thou didst promise Abraham en semini ejus. and his seed.

Chorus ...Quam olim Abrahae promisisti ...As Thou didst promise Abraham et semini ejus. and his seed. IV. Sanctus Soprano and Chorus Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Holy, holy, holy Dominus Deus Saboath. Lord God of hosts. Pleni sunt ceoli et terra gloria tua, Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest. Sanctus. Holy. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest. Sanctus. Holy.

Baritone After the blast of lighning from the East, The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot Throne; After the drums of time have rolled and ceased, And by the bronze west long retreat is blown,

Shall life renew these bodies? Of a truth All death will He annul, all tears assuage? - Fill the void veins of Life again with youth, And wash, with an immortal water, Age?

When I do ask white Age he saith not so: “My head hangs weighed with snow.” And when I hearken to the Earth, she saith: “My fiery heart shrinks, aching. It is death. Mine ancient scars shalls not be glorified, Nor my titanic tears, the sea, be dried.” V. Tenor One ever hangs where shelled roads part. In this war He too lost a limb, But His disciples hide apart; And now the Soldiers bear with Him.

Chorus Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, dona eis requiem. grant them rest.

Tenor Near Golgatha strolls many a priest, And in their faces there is pride That they were flesh-marked by the Beast By whom the gentle Christ’s denied.

Chorus Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, dona eis requiem. grant them rest.

Tenor The scribes on all the people shove and bawl allegiance to the state,

Chorus Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi... Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world...

Tenor But they who love the greater love Lay down their life; they do not hate.

Chorus ...Dona eis requiem. ...Grant them rest.

Tenor Dona nobis pacem. (Grant us peace.)

VI. Libera me Chorus Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna, Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death in die illa tremenda: in that awful day Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra: when the heavens and earth shall be shaken Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem. when Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire. Soprano and Chorus Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo I am seized with fear and trembling, dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira. until the trial shall be at hand and the wrath to come. Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death. Quando coeli movendi sunt i terra. When the heavens and earth shall be shaken. Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis That day, that day of wrath, of calamity et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde. and misery, a great day and exceeding bitter. Libera me, Domine. Deliver me, O Lord.

Tenor It seems that out of battle I escaped Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped Through granites which titanic wars had groined. Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned, Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred. Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared With piteous recognition in fixed eyes, Lifting distressful hands as if to bless.

And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan. “Strange friend,” I said, “here is no cause to mourn.”

Baritone “None”, said the other, “save the undone years, The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours, Was my life also; I went hunting wild After the wildest beauty in the world,

For by my glee might many men have laughed, And of my weeping something had been left, Which must die now. I mean the truth untold, The pity of war, the pity war distilled. Now men will go content with what we spoiled. Or, discontent, boil boldly, and be spilled. They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress, None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress. Miss we the march of this retreating world Into vain citadels that are not walled. Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels I would go up and wash them from sweet wells, Even from wells we sunk too deep for war, Even from the sweetest wells that ever were.

I am the enemy you killed, my friend. I knew you in this dark; for so you frowned Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed. I parried; but my hands were loath and cold. Let us sleep now...” Children’s Choir, then Chorus, then Soprano In paridisum deducant te Angeli; Into Paradise may the Angels lead thee: in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres, at thy coming may the Martyrs receive thee, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. and bring thee into the holy city Jerusalem.

Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat, May the Choir of Angels receive thee et cum Lazaro quondam paupere aeternam and with Lazarus, once poor, habeas requiem. may thou have eternal rest. Children’s Choir Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: Lord, grant them eternal rest, et lux perpetua luceat eis. and let the perpetual light shine upon them.

Chorus In paradisum deducant etc. Into Paradise, etc.

Soprano Chorus Angeloru, te suscipiat etc. May the Choir of Angels, etc.

Tenor and Baritone Let us sleep now. Chorus Requiescant in pace. Amen. Let them rest in peace. Amen.
