This text is taken from the Dies Irae Sequence from the Requiem Mass. It is a contemplation of the arrival of judgment day. The A-sections, mm. 1-29 & mm. 43-end, are a manic depiction of the fierce wrath of judgment day. They should be sung with fire, crisp consonants while always enunciating the accents in order to realize the full effect of this powerful text. The entire demeanor of the tone and facial expressions should change for the B-section, mm. 30-42 as it is a plea for mercy. The audience should realize the change in this contrasting section. Translation Dies irae, dies illa: Day of wrath, that day Solvet saeclum in favilla: shall dissolve the world into embers Teste David cum Sibylla: As David prophesied with the Sibyl. Voca me cum benedictis :Call me to be with the blessed. Salva me fons pietatis : Save me, fount of pity. The Sibyl is a reference from a Greek word, which means Prophetess. In this context, the word appears in plural, referring to many prophetesses. David, or King David, has long been considered prophetic among biblical scholars. About the Arranger D.

Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. This movement has no soprano part, it is soloist above and ATB below, giving a rich, dark quality to the music. The tenors and basses (divisi) begin this movement, declaiming “Dies irae, dies illa.†Two soloists begin in the “Flanders fields†text above. There is an option for three soloists as the piece evolves. (Soprano, tenor and baritone, the composer gives some options for this.) Soon the choir takes up the poem, yet the Latin text occasionally appears and continues, moving toward a climax on the text “We are the Dead, Short days ago We lived.†As the music descends from the high point, the English poem continues, with the choir very softly commenting “Dies irae†as the movement ends. Duration 5:36.

The last decades we humans have witnessed a significant number of disturbing developments. If we look at the direct and persistent destructive influence of humans on nature: air and water quality are reducing, soils are depleting, crops are short of pollinators, coasts are less protected from storms, deforestation, the degradation of land, loss of biodiversity and pollution. In stark contrast we find the intelligence and boundless creativity of humans: what about all the high technological advancements? What lies ahead in the realm of Artificial Intelligence? Will we let machines make human decisions? What ethical issues arise there? This composition reflects the desperation and urgency of the human need for action. The music draws inspiration from the brutal natural forces that ravage our world as a direct consequence of human failure and selfishness. Are we heading towards a 'Judgment Day'? Or will humanity find a way to reverse negative trends towards a more livable, peaceful, and joyful environment for humans, animals, and nature? To underscore this message, composer Peter Knockaert opted for a highly classical idiom that has been used by many composers in classical music: the 'Dies Irae'. Traditionally, the Dies Irae is the third part of a requiem (funeral mass). The text used in 'Judgment DayÂ? (for optional choir) is coming from the original Latin text.

Verdi dedicated his Requiem to the poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni whom he greatly admired. The first performance was given in 1874 on the first anniversary of Manzoni's death. It was a great popular success and Verdi toured with it all over Europe.
The Latin text of the Dies irae or Day of Wrath portrays the day of judgment.
The Dies irae is, in itself, very lengthy, in nine sections. It has been greatly abridged to make it practical for performance by trombonists. Most trombonists take great pleasure and pride in their ability to play loud. However, to achieve the dramatic contrasts essential for this piece it is necessary to focus on extremely soft, but still beautiful, playing in the piano passages.
Mr. Kempton has done a great job of bringing this soul-stiring work to life. About 8 minutes in length, this work for advanced performers is most effective having more than one person on a part.

This work is based on the 13th Century Dies irae (Day of Wrath) attributed to Thomas von Celano. Many famous composers have already employed this originally Gregorian chant in their works, including Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Mahler and Lizst. In Jan de Haan’s Song of David - the title of which is taken from the third line of the Dies Irae text - the theme is presented in unison initially and then reappears in various guises. Dit werk is gebaseerd op het 13e eeuwse Gregoriaanse Dies Irae zoals we dit ook kennen uit werken van Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Mahler en Liszt. Voor de titel van dit werk waarin hij het thema verschillende gedaantes meegeeft, haalde Jan de Haan zijn inspiratie in de derde zin van het Dies Irae, waarin verwezen wordt naar David. Dieses Werk basiert auf dem Dies Irae (Tag des Zorns) aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, das Thomas von Celano zugeschrieben wird. Bereits mehrere berühmte Komponisten, wie Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Mahler und Liszt, haben den ursprünglichen gregorianischen Choral in ihren Werken verwendet. In Jan de Haan Song of David, dessen Titel auf die dritte Textzeile von Dies Irae verweist, wird das Thema zunächst einstimmig präsentiert und erscheint dann in verschiedenen Gewändern.Cett e Å“uvre s’inspire du Dies Irae attribué Tomaso da Celano, que l’on considère comme l’auteur de la version définitive de ce poème écrit au XIIIe siècle. Plusieurs compositeurs célèbres tels que Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Mahler et Liszt, ont intégré des passages de chant grégorien dans leurs Å“uvres. Dans sa composition Song of David, dont le titre fait référence la troisième ligne du texte original, Jan de Haan présente un thème l’unisson qui sera repris ensuite dans différentes couleurs orchestrales.Ques to brano si ispira a Dies Irae attribuito a Tommaso da Celano, considerato l’autore della versione de_x001E_finitiva di questo poema scritto nel XIII secolo. Numerosi celebri compositori quali Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Mahler e Liszt hanno integrato passaggi di questo canto gregoriano nelle loro opere. In Song Of David (il titolo fa riferimento alla terza strofa del testo originale), Jan de Haan presenta un tema all’unisono ripreso in seguito con diverse dinamiche.
