“Agnus Dei”

Music composed, orchestrated, and recorded by CLINT EDWARDS

Performed by LAUREN WELLIEHAUSEN

My good friend, soprano Lauren Welliehausen, came to New York recently for the first time since her wedding and subsequent move to Germany. A few years ago, Lauren sang the premiere of my “Requiem Prayers” with me at Carnegie Hall and this month’s post features another setting of one of those Requiem texts, the “Agnus Dei.” We recorded this new text setting during her recent trip. Lauren sang all three parts.

“Agnus Dei”

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

which means:

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace
