Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis

Indeed it is ! But this movement is in fact Requiem Aeternam.
-
Faure's Requiem moves me on a level that I didn't know existed. Got to be the best 'Requiem' composition of any composer anywhere. It's purity is unmatched.
Faure rocks!

i like this conductor, he looks so concerned ! a sort of mephisto ! romantic and exagerated
-
I believe this song is in ecclesiastical Latin though, its mixed with French.
-
By the way it was transcribed into other languages that are still spoken, like Greek. Through this method scholars were able to determine that in Classical Latin "v" had a "w" sound and all "c"s were hard, regardless of what followed it (e.g., an "e" or an "i".) Classical Latin pronunciations differ from the ecclesiastical Latin used in the Roman Catholic Church, for example. When singing pieces such as these the ecclesiastic pronunciation is used.
