Dona eis requiem
Pie Jesu is a Latin hymn that translates to “Merciful Jesus” in English. It is one of the most recognized and revered hymns in classical music. The song has an atmospheric and ethereal feel to it, which makes it a popular choice for funerals, religious services and other ceremonies. The song features prominently in Anuna's track and the repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the depth of emotion one might feel during a difficult time.
The lyrics of the song are a plea to God for mercy, asking him to grant the deceased peace and rest. The repetition of the phrase “Dona eis requiem” emphasizes the singer’s entreaty, creating a somber and mournful atmosphere. The song reflects the strong belief in the afterlife and the hope that a person's soul will rest in eternal peace. The melody of the song is powerful, evocative and soothing, and it is used to elicit and express deep feelings of sorrow, longing and spiritual contemplation.

If anyone has the opportuity to see Anuna in St. Bartholomew in Dublin -by all meanings, GO!. It will be easily the most uplifting and may I say, spiritual experience you will have in the whole year. Outstanding beauty and talent deserve a place in your life from time to time. This was moving to tears, thank you so very much! Miss to see the winter performance much more than my words can say.
