May angels lead you into Paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your coming and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May a choir of angels receive you, and with Lazarus , who once was poor, may you have eternal rest.When listening to the Requiem of Gabriel Faure, his intent and frame of mind become obvious:
"It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience."If you have the chance, be sure to attend the St. Cecilia Day Concert at the Cathedral:
