Requiem
​aeternam


Written during a time when personal loss and the text of the Requieum Mass was weighing heavily on my mind, Requieum aeternam represents a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the concept of "rest eternal."  Truly, knowing that such a great unknown lies ahead of all of us can be daunting and even frightening, but those of us who believe in life after death wait expectantly for rest eternal and welcome it with open arms.  

This work will be the opening movement to my large-scale project, Rest Eternal, a modern day exploration of the Requieum Mass.

Translation
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
Et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem
Exaudi orationem meam
Ad te omnis caro veniet.
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them
A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Zion
And a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem
Hear my prayer
All flesh shall come before you.

This work is scored for SATB divisi and piano.

This composition is recommended for an intermediate to advanced ensemble.
