LYRICS:
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis sempiternam requiem.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine: Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world: O grant them rest for evermore. Hear us,
hear us, O Lamb of God: we pray thee, Saviour of all the world, O grant them eternal rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away our sins, O grant them eternal rest; peace be with them
evermore. Light perpetual shine upon them, Lord, we pray: with all thy saints in endless glory,
for thy tender mercy’s sake. Rest eternal grant them, Lord our God, we pray to thee: and light
perpetual forever shine on them.)
Fauré Requiem and other sacred music
John Rutter’s Gramophone Award-winning 1984 recording of Fauré’s Requiem, re-released in 2010 at mid-price. The first-ever performance on disc of the work in its intimate original version – famously re-discovered by Rutter in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris after a century of neglect – it remains one of the timeless jewels in the crown of the Collegium catalogue.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
