Dies Irae

The 8th grade members of the South Hills Catholic Academy Schola Cantorum honor the memory of the late Pope Benedict XVI, by chanting the Dies Irae. This 13th century chant serves as the Sequence in the traditional Roman Rite Requiem, or Mass for the Dead. A complete translation of the text may be found here:

This chant has accompanied countless Requiems through the centuries. We pray it accompanies the Holy Father as he is laid to rest today.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Benedict XVI O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
