In Paradisum - King's College Cambridge 2012 Easter Service

In Paradisum "May the angels lead you into paradise"
Music: Gabriel Fauré, from Requiem; Words liturgical)

[@kaamkmca]

A true masterpiece from Gabriel Fauré which he composed between 1887 and 1900. It's the final of seven movements and is sometimes performed when a deceased's remains are taken after the church service for burial to the final resting place. It is heavenly, consoling and can be very uplifting for those attending such solemn occasions.

Faure's "In Paradisum" has to be perfection in music. Mere words just do not describe it.

[@dianaf.s.1345]

I agree. The angels must sing this in heaven 😇✨💕

[@brunbeard]

I listen often to this beautuful and haunting piece, drawing comfort and inspiration from it.

Holy Child Jesus, console and help all those who are suffering and grieving! Grant eternal rest to all the faithful departed, especially the souls of departed children.

In paradisum deducant te angeli, In tuo adventu Suscipiant te martyres, Et perducant te In civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, Et cum Lazaro quondam paupere Aeternam habeas requiem.

I,m an non-believer. But this is so beatiful!

[@OliverWard-jr3ne]

Same here. I'm a black guy been listening to classical music for over half a century. You can well imagine how that goes down. The great part is when I have gotten some, very few, of my brethren to appreciate it and begin listening on their own..I be like, "Man, there's a helluva lot more than. Beethoven!"

[@eugeneclasby518]

The whole requiem is beautiful. Listen to it and you’ll hear.

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

I could understand some of the words, except for the word "Easter" that the setvice is named after. It is neither Greek or Hebrew, so I'd love to know why it is used as a celebration title.

[@cathywilde2756]

It's in Latin, from the Requiem Mass by Faure. This is sung as the coffin is carried from the church to the graveyard.
