    .. width="425" height="350">..............> Dear people, I have created this sight to give people a little experience of the "otherwordlyness" of the sacred chant of the Roman Catholic Church, Gregorian Chant. I will also attempt to include other medieval works in the future. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the music or the art. The early Christians and monks developed this chant as a way of fully expressing the written text in its full meaning. And as the saying goes, "he who sings prays twice." It is in my opinion some of the most wonderful and spiritual music and it truly turns the mind to higher things. This is why gregorian chant is the most suitable music for Holy Mass. The Dies Irae English Translation: Day of wrath and doom impending David's word with Sibyl's blending Heaven and earth in ashes ending O What fear man's bosom rendeth When from heaven the Judge descendeth On Whose sentence all dependeth Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth All before the throne it bringeth Death is struck, and nature quaking All creation is awaking To its Judge an answer making Lo, the book exactly worded Wherein all hath been recorded Thence shall judgment be awarded When the Judge His seat attaineth And each hidden deed arraigneth Nothing unavenged remaineth King of majesty tremendous Who dost free salvation send us Fount of pity, then befriend us Think, kind Jesus, my salvation Caused They wondrous Incarnation Leave me not to reprobation Faint and weary Thou hast sought me ON the cross of suffering bought me Shall such grace be vainly brought me Righteous Judge, for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution Ere that day of retribution Guilty now I pour my moaning All my shame with anguish owning Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning Through the sinful woman shriven Through the dying thief forgiven Thou to me a hope hast given Worthless are my prayers and sighing Yet, Good Lord, in grace complying Rescue me from fires undying With Thy sheep a place provide me From the goats afar divide me To thy right hand do Thou guide me When the wicked are confounded Doomed to flames of woe unbounded Call me with Thy Saints surrounded Low I kneel with heart's submission See, like ash, my contrition Help me in my last condition Ah! that day of tears and mourning From the dust of earth returning Man for judgement must prepare him Spare O God, in mercy spare him Lord all-pitying, Jesus blest, Grant them Thine eternal rest Amen .. ...... ...... ...... ...... .. .. ......
