Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine
Slowing the beat to match the second violins our voices raise to the sky the conductor beats
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
The sunlight has long faded into darkness matching the patina of the double bass
Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion,
The audience dressed in their finest still look interested too bad this is just the introit
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
I can’t forget to turn the page because I don’t have this memorized it’s too long thank you Mozart.
Exaudi orationem meam;
Yes god hear my prayer I don’t want to faint and the guy behind me didn’t shower and he’s flat.
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Missed that high note but luckily there’s many more tenors here. None of us good.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
That lady in the second row is sleeping whoops I’m ahead by a measure I should be paying attention
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Really? Who takes a flash photo of a choir and an orchestra singing Mozart’s Requiem?
Lacrimosa dies illa,
Wow, time has flown we’re already into the sequence. Wait this is the last piece that Mozart wrote
Qua resurget ex favilla
before he died.
Judicandus homo reus.
These are the last words from mozart’s pen the rest is some imposter trying to finish the work
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Can I compose great works that move the world to tears before I die what happens after death?
Pie Jesu Domine,
What will become of my words when I am gone will others sing them or speak them or know they exist?
Dona eis requiem. Amen
