A powerful Requiem as I thought there weren't composed anymore.
Requiem for the Forgotten, a mass commissioned by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, through the Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Liturgy. Introit recorded on occasion of the Première at The Epiphany Catholic Church in Miami, FL on March 15, 2024. This version has been edited for a wide-screen format.

Introit:
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.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Translation:
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and may perpetual light shine on them.
Thou, O God, art praised in Sion,
and unto Thee shall the vow
be performed in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and may perpetual light shine on them.
