About the chant :
Dies irae, (English: “Day of Wrath”), the opening words of a Latin hymn on the Last Judgment, ascribed to Thomas of Celano (d. c. 1256) and once forming part of the office for the dead and requiem mass.

The hymn ascribed to Thomas of Celano contains 18 rhymed stanzas (17 tercets, 1 quatrain), to which a later, anonymous writer added an unrhymed couplet, ending in “Amen.” The impressive plainsong melody to which the hymn was sung was used by composers of religious works from the 16th century onward, either in its original form or as the basis of a polyphonic composition. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Giuseppi Verdi were among the composers of religious works who wrote original music on the text of the hymn.

The original melody had strong appeal during the Romantic period and was used, often in the form of a parody or to suggest the supernatural or the macabre, in many secular compositions by Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and other composers.

Latin Text :
Dies irae dies illa
solvet saeclum in favilla
teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor est futurus
quando judex est venturus
cuncta stricte discussurus
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
per sepulcra 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 tamquam reus
culpa rubet vultus meus
supplicanti parce Deus
Qui Mariam absolvisti
et latronem exaudisti
mihi quoque spem dedisti
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
Confutatis maledictis
flammis acribus addictis
voca me cum benedictis
Oro supplex et acclinis
cor contritum quasi cinis
gere curam mei finis
Lacrimosa dies illa
qua resurget ex favilla
judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce Deus
pie Jesu Domine
dona eis requiem Amen
