Description
The term "Requiem" refers to the Missa pro Defunctis, or Mass for the Dead, drawing its name from the opening words of the Introit: “Requiem Aeternam Dona Eis, Domine.” This sacred Mass elevates prayers and supplications to God for the souls of the faithful departed. Comprising ten well-defined musical sections, it features the "Subvenite" as the processional hymn and "In Paradisum" as the closing antiphon. Let the timeless, solemn chants inspire and uplift your heart and soul, bridging time and eternity.
This recording showcases the Brothers of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary alongside a group of male singers, joined by organist and conductor Michael Olbash, at the beautiful parish church, Saint John the Guardian of Our Lady, in Clinton, Massachusetts. Their mission was to capture the Gregorian chants for the Requiem Mass, accompanied by organ, in the exquisite settings of Achille Bragers (1887 – 1955).
