Answer 3

The Lacrimosa is part of the Dies Irae sequence in the Requiem mass. Its text comes from the 18th and 19th stanzas of the sequence. Many composers, including Mozart and Berlioz, have set the text as a discrete movement of the Requiem.

Text

Lacrimosa dies illa

Qua resurget ex favilla

Judicandus homo reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus:

Pie Jesu Domine,

Dona eis requiem. Amen.

Literal translation

Tearful that day,

on which will rise from ashes

guilty man for judgment.

So have mercy, O God, on this person.

Compassionate Lord Jesus,

grant them rest. Amen.

Lacrimosa is a German Gothic rock band led by Tilo Wolff and Anne Nurmi. Their unique musical style mixes heavy metal sounds along with violin, trumpet and more classical instruments, with brilliant compositions from Wolff.

Wolff has a deep, strong voice; many people thinks that his voice and the German language give the perfect sound for Gothic music. Anne balances it with a crystal-clear, pure voice and her skills on the keyboard.
