Lacrimosa Menuet

Description

Voice 1, Voice 2, Voice 3, Piano — This song should be performed with a sense of severity, yet should remain sensitive. Paying attention to the Latin syllabic stress and phrasing will help avoid clipping at the ends of phrases when the ensemble takes a breath.PronunciationLacrimosaxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 Lah-kree-MAW-sahDies illaxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 Dee-ehsxa0 xa0 EE-lahQua resurgetxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 KooAHxa0 re-SOOR-jehtEx favillaxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0EHKSxa0 xa0fah-VEEL-lahJudicandusxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 Yoo- dee-KAHN-doosHomo reusxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0AW-mawxa0 xa0REH-oohsHuic ergoxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 OO-eekxa0 xa0 xa0EHR-gawParcexa0 Deusxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0PAHR-chehxa0 xa0 DEH-oosPie Jesu Dominexa0 xa0 xa0 xa0PEE-ehxa0 xa0YEH-sooxa0 xa0DAW-mee-nehDona eis requiemxa0 xa0 xa0DAW-nahxa0 EH-ees REH-kooee-ehmAmenxa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0AH-mehnTranslationThat day off tears and mourning,when from the ashes shall arise,all humanity to be judged.Spare us by your mercy, Lord,gentle Lord Jesus,grant them eternal rest.xa0 Amen. Though this adaptation of J.S. Bach's Suite No. 3 in B minor using Latin text is brief — only 36 measures long — it showcases mixed choirs beautifully. Your mixed ensemble will sound sophisticated and elegant when performing this at any concert or festival. Also available for TB Voices (BL912), SA Voices (BL997) and SATB Voices (BL1232).
