Reqiuem aeternam by Gary Penkala 3-Part - Sheet Music
3-part choir, a cappella

SKU: C5.5092

Composed by Padre Martini. Arranged by Gary Penkala. Text: Missale Romanum, Psalm 130. Easy antiphon - verse format. Funeral, November. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.5092).

Requiem aeternam is an example of a perfectly simple yet highly effective liturgical setting. A refrain on the text "Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis" is taken from the Introit for the Requiem Mass ("Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord: and may perpetual light shine upon them."). This refrain, set by Padre Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784) for a cappella 3-part equal voices, alternates with verses of Psalm 130 in Latin and English, using Gregorian tone 2. Requiem aeternam is useful at various places in the funeral Mass and may be sung by a small choir with great success.
