This EF Mass is on a Friday evening at the Cathedral.
Procession: Media Vita (This is arguably the best-known version, from the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. However, we're only doing the first two verses.)
Introit: Requiem Aeternam, followed immediately by
Kyrie
Gradual: Requiem Aeternam
Tract: Absolve, Domine
Sequence: Dies Irae
Offertory: Domine Jesu Christe
and Miserere Illi Deus (note: video has no SATB on the antiphon)
Sanctus
Agnus Dei (note "dona eis requiem")
Communio: Lux Aeterna (antiphon only)
Absolution: Libera me
In Paradisum
Reminder from Kathy: After In Paradisum, please exit in silence AFTER the congregation has left.
There of course exist many great compositions of the Requiem Mass: Mozart, Brahms, Verdi (which our own Patty helped sing earlier this year), Dvorak, and Rutter, to name a few. If you get a chance, check out Maurice Durufle's rendition, which is based on the original chant; I've had the honor of singing it.
