THE UNIVERSITY CHORUS - REQUIEM FOR THE LIVIING Note: In some cases, the traditional texts have been re-arranged slightly. Some extra-liturgical texts have been interpolated, and the traditional Dies Irae has been replaced by a biting essay on the vanity and pain of existence. The two movements that then follow have been inverted from their usual order: the Agnus Dei is offered as a prayer to the Lamb of God for an answer to pain and sorrow, and the Sanctus then follows as an awe-inspired response.

Introit - Kyrie (Choir) Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet.

Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Vanitas Vanitatum (Choir) Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas!

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.

Lacrimosa, et locutus est, pereat dies in qua natus sum.

Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Hear my prayer, for unto Thee all flesh shall come.

Lord have mercy; Christ have mercy; Lord have mercy.

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity! (from Ecclesiastes) Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest.

Full of tears, (from the Dies Irae) he said, Let the day perish wherein I was born. (from Job 3:2-3)

Agnus Dei (Soprano solo) Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis, dona eis requiem.

(Choir, and solo) Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem, miserere nobis, dona eis requiem.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; grant them rest.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace; have mercy on us; grant them rest.

Sanctus (Choir) Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.

Hosanna in excelsis!

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.

Hosanna in the highest!

Lux Aeterna (Soprano solo, and choir) Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine: Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum: quia pius es.

Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, in the company of Thy saints forever: for Thou art merciful.

Let perpetual light shine on them.

(Tenor Solo) Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 28:19)

THE UNIVERSITY CHORUS - REQUIEM FOR THE LIVIING Lux Aeterna (continued) (Choir, and soprano solo) Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Dona nobis pacem.

Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Grant us peace.

HODGSON SINGERS - MANY ARE THE WONDERS...

…of Life and Life’s Passage One Household High & Low

Andrew Maxfield

Text: Wendell Berry from A Timbered Choir: Sabbath Poems 1979-1997 The dark around us, come, Let us meet here together, Members one of another, Here in our holy room,

Here on our little floor, Here in the daylit sky, Rejoicing mind and eye, Rejoining known and knower,

Selig sind die Toten Text: Revelations 14:13 Translation of German: Blessed are the dead, that die in the Lord from now on.

Yea, the Spirit speaks: they rest from their labors and their works follow them.

Light, leaf, foot, hand, and wing, Such order as we know, One household, high and low, And all the earth shall sing.

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672)

HODGSON SINGERS - MANY ARE THE WONDERS...

…of Sacrifice, Mercy, and Peace Agnus Dei

Ernesto Herrera

Text: Roman Catholic Mass Translation of Latin: Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

…of Love’s Lasting Imprint O Day of Fire and Sun

Dominick DiOrio

Text: Sara Teasdale Oh day of fire and sun, Pure as a naked flame, Blue sea, blue sky and dun Sands where he spoke my name;

Laughter and hearts so high That the spirit flew off free, Lifting into the sky Diving into the sea;

Oh day of fire and sun Like a crystal burning, Slow days go one by one, But you have no returning.

…of Creation and the Unfathomable Creator They are Mother

Jennifer Lucy Cook

Text: Jennifer Lucy Cook What shall I call this force I know Who do I come to when I wonder The space that holds me when I’m low More than a parent, friend, or lover?

They nod and know They need nothing They’re god and grow They bleed blessings

They are Mover.

They are Maker.

They are Mother.

They are Mother.

They are solitude.

They are multitude.

They are gratitude.

They are Gratitude.

Laugh lines around the all-seeing eye And I can lean into the sky Laugh lines around the all-seeing eye And I can lean into the sky

They are the breath I see in cold The ready muscle in the sprinter They are the glitter and the gold The steady heat lamp in the winter.

They are Mover.

They are Maker.

They are Mother.

They are Mother.

What shall I call this force I know Who do I come to when I wonder They are Mover.

They are Maker.

They are Mother.

They are Mother.

HODGSON SINGERS - MANY ARE THE WONDERS...

Many are the Wonders (Reflection on Tallis’ Loquebantur)

Ken Burton

Text: Psalm 51:15, Psalm 35:28, Psalm 40:5 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare thy praise.

Many, O Lord, my God, are the wonders which You have done.

My tongue shall sing aloud; my tongue shall declare Thy praise. Alleluia.
