Dies Irae translates to "Day of Wrath" and is part of the traditional roman catholic Requiem Chants (the liturgy for the Death). Basically it is known for images of Divine Judgment and the responsibilities for your life actions. The Chant stems from the 13th century and has a long history in endless music, art and literature.There were lots of impressive and sometimes even scary musicial compositions using this text throught the centuries (for example by Mozart). Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used the first, the sixth and the seventh stanza of the hymn in the scene "Cathedral" in the first part of his drama Faust (1808).

The well-know "wrath" and "judgment" aspects are only part of the first half of the Chant, while it has a turn of redemption and hope in the middle. I tried to portrait that by changing the atmosphere of the Chant there and trying to get to the core of what it's meant to be. Also it is important, that the idea of Divine Judgment refers to the lower and fallen aspects of men, while the path of light is portray in the second half of the chant - a process that we all should go through in the course of our lifes. As always, there is a deeper hidden mystery in these chants regarding your own inner being and which isn't always be found in the litteral meaning.

Text from the KJV Bible:

1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.

May for the people hill and mountain
Bring forth the peace they seek,
And justice, gushing like a fountain,
Restore the faint and meek.
May he defend the poor and needy,
May he their children save,
And crush oppressors, proud and greedy,
Who for their downfall crave.

May he, the royal son, be reigning
With judgments true and sure,
To all Thy people right ordaining
And justice to Thy poor.

May he, so high above the nations,
Live while the sun endures,
He, who throughout all generations
Our joy and peace ensures;
And may he be like rain that drenches
The meadows parched and pale,
Like showers whose abundance quenches
The thirst of hill and vale.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). ( 8 7.8 7 D)

1 Praise the LORD, my soul, O praise him!
LORD my God, you are so great!
2 Wrapped in light as with a garment,
clothed in majesty and state.
Like a tent he spreads the heavens,
3 and above the waters there
Sets the framework of his dwelling,
making it an upper layer.

He makes clouds of heav’n his chariot;
on the wings of wind he rides.
4 He makes flames of fire his servants;
winds obey what he decides.
5 He set earth on its foundations,
so that it should never move;
6 Then the deep submerged the mountains
till the waters stood above.

7 But when you rebuked the waters,
at your thunder they took flight;
8 They receded to the valleys,
flowing down the mountains’ height
To the place that you appointed.
9 You set bounds to their domain,
So that never will the waters
overwhelm the land again.

Psalm 104 v1-9 (Tune: Hyfrydol)

1    By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept,  ♦
when we remembered Zion.
2    As for our lyres, we hung them up  ♦
on the willows that grow in that land.

3    For there our captors asked for a song,
    our tormentors called for mirth:  ♦
‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion.’
4    How shall we sing the Lord’s song  ♦
in a strange land?

5    If I forget you, O Jerusalem,  ♦
let my right hand forget its skill.

6    Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
    if I do not remember you,  ♦
if I set not Jerusalem above my highest joy.

7    Remember, O Lord, against the people of Edom
    the day of Jerusalem,  ♦
how they said, ‘Down with it,

    down with it, even to the ground.’
8    O daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,  ♦
happy the one who repays you
    for all you have done to us;
9    Who takes your little ones,  ♦
and dashes them against the rock.
