Requiem
Some links for Grete Sultan, 1906-2005, a pianist who died at 99 on Sunday morning a week ago– June 26, 2005:
Album with sound clips — The Legacy, Vol. 1
Album with Tantum Ergo — The Legacy, Vol. 2
| Tantum ergo sacramentum Veneremur cernui; Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui; Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori genitoque Amen. — St. Thomas Aquinas |
Faith for all defects supplying, Down in adoration falling, Lo! The Sacred Host we hail; Lo! o’er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of Grace prevail: Where the feeble senses fail. To The Everlasting Father And The Son Who reigns on high, With The Spirit blessed proceeding Forth, from Each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen. |
The musical version of Tantum Ergo on the second Sultan album is by composer
1924-2004. Her Requiem apparently premiered
at Appalachian State University on April 30, 2005.
