For today's Music Monday, all Saints Day, here is is John Rutter's Requiem Aeternam sung by the Penn Yan Community chorus and accompanied by beautifully appropriate Fall pictures.  Hat tip to KKollwitz.

The lyrics are below in Latin and in English.


Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
and may light eternal shine upon them.


Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion,
It is fitting that a hymn should be raised unto Thee in Sion
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem:
and a vow paid to Thee in Jerusalem:
exaudi orationem meam,
give ear to my prayer, O Lord,
ad te omnis caro veniet.
unto Thee all flesh shall come at last.

Kyrie, eleison!
Lord, have mercy!
Christe, eleison!
Christ, have mercy!
Kyrie, eleison!
Lord, have mercy!
