Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sanctus from Sir Neville Marriner Academy of St. Martin in the Fields's Requiem are taken from the Latin Mass for the Dead. The Sanctus is a hymn of praise and adoration to God, expressing the holiness and glory of God. The verse begins with the repetition of 'Sanctus', which means 'holy', three times, emphasizing the holiness of God. The following phrase, 'Domine Deus Sabaoth' means 'Lord God of Hosts', acknowledging the power and presence of God. The next line, 'Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua' translates to "Heaven and earth are full of your glory," expressing the omnipresence of God. The final phrase, 'Hosanna in excelsis', means "Hosanna in the highest," expressing the joyfulness of the faithful about the presence of God.


The combination of the lyrics with the music in this performance creates an enchanting and solemn atmosphere, evoking the essence of the Requiem Mass. The music of Sanctus is characterized by its smooth and slow pace and simple harmonies, highlighting the sacred nature of the lyrics. The choral arrangement is layered, adding depth and texture to the performance.

0:30 INTROITUS
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis
Te decent hymnus, Deus, in Sion et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam,
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

04:55 KYRIE
Kyrie eleison.
Christe eleison.
Kyrie eleison.

07:20 DIES IRAE
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus.

09:20 TUBA MIRUM
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum
Coget omnes ante tronum.
Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura
Judicanti responsura.
Liber scriptus proferetur
In quo totum continetur,
Unde mundus judicetur.
Judex ergo cum sedebit
Quidquid latet apparebit,
Nihil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus,
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix justus sit securus?

12:30 REX TREMENDAE
Rex, Rex, Rex...
Rex tremendae majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis.

14:30 RECORDARE
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuae viae,
Ne me perdas illa die.
Quaerens me sedisti lassus,
Redimisti crucem passus,
Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste judex ultionis
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.
lngemisco tamquam reus,
Culpa rubet vultus meus,
Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spes dedisti.
Preces meae non sum dignae,
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremet igne.
Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parle dextra.

19:40 CONFUTATIS
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis,
Voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis,
Gere curam mei finis.

22:00 LACRIMOSA
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus,
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem.

25:17 DOMINE JESU CHRISTE
Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de poenis inferni, et de profundo lacu
libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeant eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum,
sed signifer Sanctus Michael
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.

21:13 HOSTIAS
Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,
laudis offerimus:
tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
quarum hodie memoriam facimus:
fac eas Domine, de morte transire ad vitam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.

32:43 SANCTUS
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus...
Dominus Deus Sabaoth!
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
Osanna in excelsis!

34:20 BENEDICTUS
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Osanna in excelsis.

38:50 AGNUS DEI
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem sempiternam.

41:35 LUX AETERNA
Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine,
cum sanctis mis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius est.

Piyanist Frédéric Chopin

Ah bir türk, ne güzel.

Grandma Sage

Absolutely! I was weened on this music, and all the best. Albinoni 's adagio in G minor, and all the best of the baroque. A seed planted in me, that will never die.

F S

Simply the best version I've heard. Perfect.
Two years after, it's even more sadly clear what we lost.
R.I.P., Sir Neville.
