Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them rest everlasting. Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and Bass: Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternam; quia pius es. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, cum sanctis tuis in aeternam; quia pius es.

Let eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, with your saints forever; for you are merciful. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them with your saints forever; for you are merciful. Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda; quando coeli movendi sunt et terra: Tremens factus sum ego et timeo, dum discussio venerit atque ventura irae, quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Libera me, Domine, quando coeli movendi sunt et terra; dum veneris judicare saeclum per ignem. Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that awful day, when the heavens and the earth shall be moved: I tremble, and I fear the judgment and the wrath to come, when the heavens and the earth shall be moved. The day of wrath, that day of calamity and misery; a great and bitter day, indeed. Deliver me, O Lord, when the heavens and the earth shall be moved; when you will come to judge the world by fire.
Deliver me, Lord, from eternal death on that awful day.

This engraving appeared in Illustrazione Universale Milan that same year. He bought it and began by building a villa. Then he added a garden to the villa, a park to the garden, meadows to the park, woods to the meadows; and over the whole estate he dotted fine, beautiful farms — as many as the operas he composed! Verdi loved the countryside of his childhood and returned as an adult to secure a home for himself. He bought a rundown house and hired local people to help him remodel the house and create an oasis around it. Verdi first learned music from the village organist, Pietro Baistrocchi, whose job he inherited as a teenager when Baistrocchi died.
At 13, he began to compose music for church, theater, and the concert hall. In , at the age of 18, Verdi left home for Milan to study counterpoint.

When all three of the concertmasters fell sick at once, Verdi, who had been sitting quietly in a corner for weeks, went to the piano and conducted the rehearsal. He did so well that he was hired to conduct the concert itself. Their two children died in and Tragically, in , his beloved Margherita died. Verdi was overcome with grief and could not work.

Then a libretto, pressed upon him by a friend, awakened his creative spark. Through the years, Verdi spoke of earning enough money so that he could withdraw from his career in the opera houses and retire to his estate: Fortunately for music, this time never came. Verdi and Giuseppina Strepponi, his partner of 50 years, are buried there.
Requiem (Verdi) - Wikipedia
The deaths of two men whom Verdi revered and Italians embraced as their greatest artists inspired him to compose a mass for the dead: Verdi had not composed sacred works for 30 years, so he studied several requiems, such as those by Rossini, Mozart, Berlioz, and Cherubini — all based on the second-century Catholic mass for the dead. It is clear that the religious spirit and the works that express it ought to bear the imprint of the epoch and of the individual.
These are the two most dramatic sections, full of sharp contrasts and descriptive writing. Repetitions of text and music help give them their sense of unity. Verdi gives the chorus a strenuous, chromatic line in octaves, sung full voice in the midst of a cataclysm of thunderous drums, lightening-strike chords, and plunging and climbing runs in the orchestra.
These words, sung by the chorus in ringing tones, abruptly end with an unexpected modulation. Over repetitions of this figure, the bass soloist sings a short, gruff passage describing Judgment Day.
Requiem (Verdi, Giuseppe)
A whirling in the strings wells up into a furious reprise of the opening. Verdi gives this lament to a trio of soloists no bass. The next stanzas, still in first-person perspective, are given to the soloists: The mezzo-soprano introduces the touching melody, which the chorus takes up. A progression of key changes makes a transition into the graceful prayer for eternal rest. A brilliant and uplifting fugue for double chorus follows.
Verdi was not inclined to write pure fugues in the manner of his musical predecessors. Luminous harmonic changes, shimmering tremolos in the strings, colorful instrumentation, and subtle shifts of mood create a rare sense of mystery and, finally, wholeness. This moment of magical stillness is shattered as the soprano cries out in terror, leading to a full-fledged fugue for the chorus.
The subject of this fugue, with its odd intervals and dizzying changes of direction, has an almost jaunty rhythm that propels it through various melodic permutations and keys. The concluding C-major chord of this mighty composition offers only a shadow of hope. Choral , Chorus , Requiem , Verdi. Requiem and Kyrie Chorus: Quantus tremor est futurus, quando judex est venturus, cuncta stricte discussurus! Tuba mirum spargens sonum, per sepulcra regionem, coget omnes ante thronum. Judex ergo cum sedebit, quidquid latet apparebit: Quaerens me, sedisti lassus; redemisti crucem pacem: Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt digne, sed tu, bonus, fac benigne, ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum praesta, et ab haedis me sequestra, statuens in parte dextra.
