Elfen Lied - Lilium Choir Interpretation

Spring 2007.
Härnösands Music and Theatre educational program. 90 children ages 16-19.
Nis Bäckvall on saxophone.

We did know where the music was from, but we found it suitable anyway, since the concert was called "Life, Love and Death".

This is not a church concert, this is a concert held at the church because that was the venue that could fit the audience.

I'm sorry, I can not send anyone the sheet music, since I am not longer at that school and have no contact with anyone who is at that school now.

LYRICS AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam
et lingua eius loquetur iudicium.
Beatus vir qui suffert temptationem,
quoniam cum probatus fuerit
accipiet coronam vitae.

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.
Oh quam sancta,
quam serena,
quam benigna,
quam amoena,
oh castitatis lilium

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom
and his tongue shall speak judgment.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation,
for when he tried, he shall
receive the crown of life.

Lord, fire divine, have mercy.
Oh, how holy
than serene,
than kind,
How pleasant
oh Lily of chastity

[ez45]

Oh wow, otaku church.

[yatal]

when the saxophonist came i almost came

[Alchemisterius]

I want this song to be played in my funeral.

[jordan7792]

@Hellhammerabadon i never said that the song isn't religious, i'm just stating my fact depending on what the anime is about, no offense, opinions differ

[Hellhammerabadon]

@jordan7792 Actually the song talks about Virgin Mary

[xXNeekaChanXx]

This is the kind of church Id actually enjoy being apart of.

[crystalroze]

hats off to the instructor who knew about this song and double hats off if the instructor watched the anime.

[apple1231230]

yea like if u read the lyrics, they're not bad at all, very similar to church song actualy. at least the message that blessed is one who should endure tempataion and such

[4evaharrypotterfan]

i watched this before i knew about elfen lied, i just knew about the song, and thought it was something to do with the bible (I played the song with a friend on violin)

Then I decided to watch Elfen Lied because I watch a buit of anime and wanted to see what the fuss was about.

Oh gosh, now all I want to do is cry, from both sadness and happiness :)

[LordValros]

The saxophone was off terribly after the choir came back in, though it nailed the solo. It stood out for me because the only other instrument used was a piano. Other than that this is terrific.

[SweetPuffyPenguins]

it's really good, but I can hear some people that are really standing out because their voice is so strong >.< " some girls were singing WAY off, no offense to them. But it was really good otherwise

@USERACCOUNT40001

how is it inappropriate? the lyrics are very religious, just because its from a violent anime doesnt make it the song of the devil...
