about
Written in 2008 in the bright key of E major. The image I had when writing this was a glowing sunset.
lyrics
In paradisum deducant angeli,
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro, quondam paupere,
aeternam habeas requiem.
---
May angels lead thee to paradise,
at thy coming may the martyrs receive thee
and bring thee into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the choir of angels receive thee,
and with Lazarus, once a beggar,
mayst thou have eternal rest.
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro, quondam paupere,
aeternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead thee to paradise,
at thy coming may the martyrs receive thee
and bring thee into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the choir of angels receive thee,
and with Lazarus, once a beggar,
mayst thou have eternal rest.
