REQUIEM KV. 626
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
I. Introitus: Requiem
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem:
exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis
caro veniet. - Requiem aeternam ...
II. Kyrie
Kyrie, eleison,
Christe, eleison.
Kyrie, eleison.
III. Sequenz
1 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!
2 Tuba mirum
Tuba, mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum
Coget omnes ante thronum.
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:
Nil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix justus sit securus?
3 Rex tremendae
Rex tremendae majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis.
4 Recordare
Recordare, Jesu pie
Quod sum causa tuae viae:
Ne me perdas illa die.
Quaerens me, sedisti lassus
Redemisti Crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste judex ultionis.
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti.
Et latronem exaudisti.
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt dignae:
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum praesta.
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.
5 Confutatis
Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis:
Voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis.
6 Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa dies illa.
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce. Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.
IV. Offertorium
1 Domine Jesu
Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium
defunctorum de poenis inferni
et de profundo lacu:
libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum:
Sed signifer sanctus Michael
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam:
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.
2 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.
V. Sanctus
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
VI. Benedictus
Benedictus qui venit
in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.
VII. Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi:
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi:
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi:
dona eis requiem sempiternam.
VIII. Communio: Lux aeterna
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es .
Requiem aeternam dona eis.
Domine et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es.
English Translation
I. Introitus: Requiem
Eternal rest give unto them. O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine on them.
A hymn becometh Thee, O God, in Sion:
and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem.
O hear my praver: all flesh come to Thee.
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
II. Kyrie
Lord have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Lord have mercv on us.
III. Sequenz
1 Dies irae
Day of wrath and doom impending,
David's word with Sibyl's blending!
Heaven and earth in ashes ending!
Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!
2 Tuba mirum
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo! the book exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth.
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
3 Rex tremendae
King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
4 Recordare
Think, kind Jesu, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation;
Leave me not to reprobation.
Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me,
Shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous Judge, for sin's pollution,
Grant Thy gift of absolution.
Ere that day of retribution.
Guilty now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning.
Through the sinful woman shriven,
Through the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying.
With Thy sheep a place provide me,
From the goats afar divide me,
To Thy right hand do Thou guide me.
5 Confutatis
When the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me, with Thy Saints surrounded.
Low I kneel, with heart submission!
See, like ashes my contrition!
Help me in my last condition!
6 Lacrimosa
Ah! that day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgement must prepare him!
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord, all pitying, Jesu blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest. Amen.
IV. Offertorium
1 Domine Jesu
Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
deliver the souls of all the faithful departed
from the pains of hell, and from the deep pit.
Deliver them from the lion's mouth,
lest hell swallow them,
lest they fall into darkness:
And let the standard-bearer, St. Michael,
bring them into the holy light.
Which Thou didst promise of old
to Abraham and his seed.
2 Hostias
We offer Thee, O Lord,
a sacrifice of praise and prayer:
accept them in behalf of the souls
we commemorate this day;
and let them, O Lord, pass from death to life,
that life which Thou didst promise of old
to Abraham and his seed.
V. Sanctus
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest!
VI. Benedictus
Blessed is He that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest!
VII. Agnus Dei
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins
of the world, give them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins
of the world, give them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins
of the world, give them eternal rest.
VIII. Communio: Lux aeterna
Let eternal light shine upon them. O Lord,
with Thy saints for ever.
because Thou art merciful.
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord:
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
With Thy saints forever:
because Thou art merciful.
