I'm having trouble, I can't find the lyrics anywhere, can you help me? Thanks for the posts anyway.

@ShiftyRobot Requiem's written by composers set the same prayers of the Requiem Mass to music, so the lyrics are always the same (unless they omit parts). Search wikipedia for "Requiem" and they will give the words and translations of all of the prayers of the Requiem Mass. Corresponding how this video is labelled to the wikipedia page: "Kyrie" is the Kyrie Eleison,

@ShiftyRobot "Dies Irae", "Tuba Mirum", "Rex Temendae", "Recordare" and "Lacrymosa" are all parts of the Dies Irae hymn (the Sequence of the mass), "Hostias" is from the Offeratory, "Sanctus" and "Benedictus" are both from the Sanctus prayer, "Agnus Dei" is the Agnus Dei prayer, "Credo" is the Nicene Creed (not normally in Requiems), and I am not sure what the "Requiem" part is.

Schnittke is so innovative with his choir works; what a genius!
