Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, Lord, you are worthy of praise in Zion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. and to you vows are made in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam! Listen to my prayer! Ad te omnis caro veniet. Unto you all flesh shall come. Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison. II. Kyrie Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Dies irae, dies illa solvet saeclum in favilla, teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, quando judex est venturus cuncta stricte discussurus. III. SEQUENZ 1. Dies irae Day of wrath, that day will dissolve the world in ashes, as witness David and the Sibyl. What trembling there will be when the judge shall come, to thoroughly investigate everything. [3]

4 Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulchra 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? Rex tremendae majestatis! qui salvandos salvas gratis, salva me, fons pietatis. 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, tanquam reus: culpa rubet vultus meus. supplicanti parce, Deus! Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem didisti. 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. 2. Tuba mirum The wondrous trumpet, spreading its sound through the tombs of all regions, will gather all before the throne. Death will be stupefied, also nature, when all creation arises to answer to the judge. A written book will be brought forth, in which everything is contained by which the world will be judged. When the judge is seated, whatever is hidden will be exposed; nothing will remain unavenged. What am I, miserable one! to say then? What patron shall I request, when the righteous are scarcely secure? 3. Rex tremendae King of dreadful majesty, who freely saves the redeemed, save me, fount of mercy. 4. Recordare Remember, merciful Jesus, that I am the cause of your journey; do not lose me on that day. Seeking me, you sat down exhausted; you redeemed me by suffering the cross. Such great labor should not be in vain. Just judge of vengeance, make the gift of remission before the day of accounting. I sigh as one accused; shame reddens my face. Spare the supplicant, God! You who absolved Mary [Magdalene] and listened to the thief have given me hope also. My prayers are not worthy, but you, good one, be merciful, lest I remain in burning flames! Among the sheep grant me a place, and from the goats separate me, setting me in the portion on the right. [4]

5 Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis: gere curam mei finis. Lacrymosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce Deus. Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen. 5. Confutatis Silencing the accused, to acrid flames consigning them, Call me with those blessed. I pray, bowed and kneeling, my heart contrite as ashes: take care of me at the last. 6. Lacrymosa That tearful day, when guilty man rises from the embers to be judged. Spare him then, God. Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest. Amen. IV. OFFERTOR IUM 1. Domine Jesu Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, Lord Jesus Christ, glorious King, libera animas omnium fidelium free the souls of all the faithful dead defunctorum de poenis inferni, from punishment in the inferno, et de profundo lacu: and from the deep lake! libera eas de ore leonis, Deliver them from the lion s mouth; ne absorbeat eas tartarus, let the abyss not swallow them up; ne cadant in obscurum. let them not fall into darkness. Sed signifer sanctus Michael But let the standardbearer St. Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam, bring them into the holy light, quam olim Abrahae promisisti, as once you promised to Abraham et semini ejus. and his seed. 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. 2.

SANCTUS Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are filled with your glory. Hosanna in the highest! [5]

6 Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis! VI. BENEDICTUS Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem. Dona eis requiem sempiternam. VII. AGNUS DEI Lamb of God, who removes the sins of the world, grant them rest. Grant them rest everlasting. VIII.

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

8 REQUIEM, K.626 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( ) Orchestrated by Franz Beyer [8] Despite its familiarity and popularity, the Requiem (or Mass for the Dead) by Mozart remains one of the most problematic of the great choral works regarding authenticity and the composer s intentions. Its composition is inextricably tied to his feverish, desperate last days, and the facts concerning its completion are part of the mysterious (some would say deliberately misrepresented) events surrounding his death and burial. What is verified is that, aware he would not live to finish the work, Mozart went over it in detail with his friend and former pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who afterward completed the work at Frau Mozart s request. This completion of the score was done about two months after Mozart died, after Süssmayr, Franz Freystädler, and Joseph Eybler had already reworked parts of the Requiem for the composer s memorial service. There is no doubt that Süssmayr finished the Requiem, nor why this was done: Count von Wallsegg, who commissioned the work intending to pass it off as his composition, had already paid in full for it, and Mozart s family could not afford to refund the money. Constanza Mozart had Süssmayr forge her husband s signature on the completed manuscript, and she violated the terms of the contract by keeping two copies when she sent the work to the count. (Having parts of it performed at Mozart s memorial was another contract violation.). When the Requiem was published in 1800, Süssmayr furnished a statement to the publisher about his part in its completion. He said that everything from the third line of the Lacrimosa ( judicandus homo reus ) was his contribution, though he had attempted to give the work greater unity of style by repeating Mozart s fugue from the Kyrie at the end, fitting new words to the existing notes. We cannot know whether Mozart had suggested this felicitous idea to him, but it is a practice often used in Viennese masses and requiems of that period. Süssmayr also suggested that the Requiem and Kyrie had been left in an incomplete state by Mozart. Although tradition has accepted the Süssmayr version of the score as coming from the source closest to the composer, musicians have continually attacked his contribution as not sufficiently Mozartian in style, its orchestration too dense and opaque, its modulations labored, its part-writing riddled with mistakes a composer of Mozart s stature could easily have avoided. Some conductors, including Bruno Walter, Richard Strauss, and Sir Thomas Beecham, have made their revisions. Musicologists who have published revisions of the work include Richard Maunder and the eminent Haydn-Mozart scholar H. C. Robbins Landon. The version to be heard today, modestly termed an instrumentation, was published in 1984 by Franz Beyer, a musicologist working in Munich. His revision is not a radical departure from the Süssmayr version. Beyer s stated intention was to cleanse the work of obvious errors, to use insofar as is at all possible the palette of Mozart s late works in the orchestral parts, and to free the original picture of Mozart s score... from its overpainting. Probably only those listeners most familiar with the traditional version of the Requiem will notice the changes. Most of Beyer s work has been done with an eraser. An example is the removal of part of the trombone solo in the Sequence, a solo Mozart called for beginning at the Tuba mirum, but which Süssmayr continues far past the point where it is appropriate to the text. At other places, thick instrumentation obscuring the vocal lines has been pruned or removed. On the other hand, Süssmayr s Osannas, which have always seemed to end too abruptly, are given extended cadences following Mozart s frequent practice. The result is a more transparent, more Mozartian version of the Requiem than that we have lived with for more than 200 years. It is not possible for us to know precisely how Mozart would have shaped and completed the work had he lived, and yet what we have is recognizable as having originated from the incomparable mind of the genius from Salzburg.
