Mascagni's 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement. Though it has been stated and restated ad nauseam that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is highly inaccurate: L'Amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres; in fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender).
Mascagni wrote a total of fifteen operas, plus an operetta, several beautiful orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed amazing success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor. If he never repeated the public success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in Mascagni's operas -- the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the Asian flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates L'Amico Fritz, the French hues in Isabeau, the steely, Verismo quality of Il Piccolo Marat -- demonstrate a versatility that none of the other Veristi could boast, Puccini included.

In paradisum deducant te angeli,
in tuo adventu
suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te
in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et c__ Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.
---
May the angels lead you into paradise,
may the martyrs receive you
in your coming,
and may they guide you
into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the chorus of angels receive you
and with Lazarus once poor
may you have eternal rest.
"Requiem, Op. 48: In Paradisum" is a song by Gabriel Fauré.

In Paradise
In paradisum
May the angels guide you
Deducant te Angeli:
May the martyrs welcome you
In tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres,
And they will bring you to the holy city Jerusalem
Et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
May the angels welcome you
Angelorum te suscipiat,
And with Lazarus, the poor man
Et cum Lazaro quondam paupere,
And with Lazarus, who was once a pauper
Et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
may you have eternal rest
æternam habeas requiem,
May you have eternal rest.
æternam habeas requiem.

Dedicated to my father, who passed away yesterday evening suddenly and totally unexpected. May he rest in eternal peace. His soul is immortal and his body will be star dust. I will miss him so very much.

Sorry for your loss😔
@lizmorley273
I’m so sorry for your loss
@SaintVodou
I’m so sorry. I lost my husband that way: no warning, no goodbyes, just someone ripped out of their life in the middle of it. It comforts me to think that if some universal life force is behind the mind that composed this, it’s benign, and may even be waiting to welcome us back when we’re finished here.

May your father rest peacefully.
Mine died as expected from cancer then I discovered too late he wanted that wonderful music for his funeral.
@utenorman1283
Thank you all for your kind comments, each one is very much appreciated. This piece was played during my father's funeral together with “Nimrod“ and “Precious Lord, hold my hand“. I am certain that my father would have loved these amazing and emotional melodies. Bless you all in your daily lives.
@meicholz
I remember once listening to this piece in my car while driving in the snow at night. The large snow flakes coming toward me in was almost like flying through the stars as suggested here in this photo. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
@JLaw954
This is gorgeous.
