1)
The gothic metal project Aeternitas was founded in 1999 in Lübeck, Germany, to create a modern requiem. This requiem should contain the original Latin lyrics and a musically mix from classic elements to Metal.
Beside the musically work, a show concept was created, to perform the requiem as a "Gothic Theatre".
In 2001 Aeternitas began the creation of their second album called "La Danse Macabre".
Then in 2004 Aeternitas began the work on something entirely new, crossing some borders by writing a gothic musical by the name of "Rappacinis Tochter".Based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's gothic novel "Rappacnini's Daughter" the story is about young and desperate Giovanni who was forced to enroll at Padua university. He accidentally discovers his neighbour's beautiful daughter and falls in love. The mysterious girl has a dark secret and she lives hidden in the house of her father Dr. Rappacini. But Giovanni is not willing to give up and asks his fatherly professor Baglioni for help...
The world premiere was staged in 2008 in Hamburg, Germany and - amongst other places - was performed every day at the Schauspielhaus during the Wave Gotik Treffen 2009 in Leipzig, Germany.

dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli
et terra gloria tua.
Osanna in excelsis.
in nomine domini.
Osanna in excelsis.
The lyrics to Aeternitas's song VII. Sanctus are in Latin and refer to a religious hymn of praise - Sanctus - that is commonly used in Christian liturgical services. The song starts with "Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus dominus Deus Sabaoth," which translates to "Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts." This line is followed by "Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua," which means "Heaven and earth are full of your glory."
The chorus of the song is "Osanna in excelsis," which is Latin for "Hosanna in the highest." This is a phrase that is often used in religious rituals to express praise and worship. The second verse of the song goes, "Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini," which means "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." This is a phrase taken directly from the Bible and is often used in Christian liturgy to express reverence for Jesus.
Overall, the song VII. Sanctus is a beautiful hymn of praise to God that is commonly used in Christian worship. The use of Latin in the lyrics adds to the sense of sacredness and reverence that the song conveys.
