Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis
caro veniet.
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and

To you will be sung hymns in Zion,

Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall
come.
Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison.
Kyrie eleison
2. Offertory - Chorus, baritone
O Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae
libera animas defunctorum
de poenis inferni, et de profundo lacu:
de ore leonis, ne absorbeat tartarus:
ne cadant in obscurum.
Hostias et preces tibi
Domini laudis offerimus:
tu suscipe pro animabus, illis,
quarum hodie memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine,
de morte transire ad vitam.
Quam olim Abrahae promisisti,
Et semini eius.
Amen
//
Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy
Lord Jesus Christ, thou that rulest in
majesty,
free the souls of thy faithful departed
from torment eternal, and from the
fathomless waters;
from out of the lion’s jaw, lest they
drown in the depths of hell:
save them from utter darkness.
Hear our prayer and let our cry come
unto thee,
God our Father, bow thine ear:
We pray this day for all the souls
departed remember them, Lord, we
pray.
Grant them, Lord, deliverance from
death unto life, we pray thee.
As of old thou has promised to our
fathers, Abraham and his seed.
Amen.

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine:
Et lux perpetua luceat, eis.
6. Libera Me – Baritone, chorus
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna,
In die illa tremenda, in die illa:
Quando caeli movendi sunt et terra
Dum veneris judicare Saeculum perignem.
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,

Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae
Dies illa, dies magna et amara valde.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis

INTERMISSION
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts: heaven
and earth are filled with Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed Jesus Lord,
I pray in thy mercy grant them rest,
Grant them, Lord, everlasting rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of
the world, Grant them rest and peace
forevermore.
Light perpetual shine upon them, Lord we
pray, with all thy saints in endless glory, for
thy tender mercy’s sake .
Rest eternal grant them, we pray, Lord.
And light perpetual forever shine on them.
Lord, deliver me from death’s everlasting
fire, on that last dreadful Day of Judgment,
When the earth and the heavens shall
shake and tremble, and thou shalt come
with thy mighty fire of judgement.
Trembling I stand before thee in fear and
dread, thy wrath shall descend on the earth
and bring all flesh to desolation. Day of
trial, day of judgement, death and
destruction, torment and distress; day of
anger, day of vengeance, day of mourning
of woe and bitter grief. Rest eternal grant
them, Lord God, we pray to thee, and light
perpetual shine ever on them
God’s holy angels lead you to paradise
May saints in their glory receive you at your
journey’s end, guiding your footsteps into
the Holy City, Jerusalem.
Choirs of angels sing you to your rest,
And with Lazarus raised to eternal life, May
you forevermore rest in peace.

ABOUT FAURÉ AND HIS REQUIEM
Few of the countless performers and listeners who have taken Fauré’s Requiem to their
hearts can be aware of the long and complex history of its composition. (Today’s
performance is as close as possible to Fauré’s known intentions, thanks to 1980s editing
by John Rutter.)
Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) began work on his Requiem in 1887 purely, in his own words,
for the pleasure of it, though the death of his father in 1885 and of his mother two years
later may well have given the impetus to the composition. He was at the time choirmaster
at the fashionable church of the Madeleine in Paris and gradually gaining a reputation as a
composer, though much of his time was taken up with private teaching. He completed his
first version of the Requiem in 1888 and the first performance took place under his
direction on January 16 of that year for a funeral service at the Madeleine.
This is not a complete liturgical Requiem (“In Paradisum” comes from the Burial Service.)
Fauré made a personal selection of texts, laying emphasis on the idea of rest and peace.
The instrumentation is restrained and somber: Fauré may have gotten the idea for his
string group from the opening chorus of the Brahms Requiem. The strings double the
organ part most of the time: their richness and warmth add greatly to the expressiveness
of the music.
Fauré’s choir of men and boys at the Madeleine was small, probably no more than twenty
or thirty, and the size of the orchestra was such that it should never be so large as to
overbalance the choir and the organ.

CAROLINA COAST CHORAL FESTIVAL
Carolina Coast Choral Festival was established in 2012 with its premier
performance in 2013 of Schubert’s Mass in B-Flat, Robert Harris, conductor. It is
the result of area churches’ and musicians’ desire to provide additional choral
opportunities for singers and the public. It is an outgrowth of Hymnfest
(organized for New Bern’s 300th
anniversary to celebrate the religious music
heritage of the early settlers) and Heritage Chorale (organized to celebrate the
area’s folk and secular music heritage.)

8. The Festival’s vision includes an initiative to invite singers and directors in a nine-
county area to participate in educational and performance opportunities not
otherwise provided for singers in the region, to provide culturally uplifting
performances and other events for regional residents and singers, to advance choral
skills and heightened consciousness of choral music, and to provide an outreach to
elementary and high school students, including this year honor choral singers from
New Bern, Jacksonville and Swansboro High Schools in the chorus.
The success of these efforts is attributed to area churches, music directors, and
other volunteers who donate their time and resources, singers who love to sing - and
practice, area residents who cherish good music, and donors who give generously!
Many thanks to these and to the completely volunteer artistic and administrative
staff who have invested much time and energy to ensure the success of this season’s
activities.
