Da Vinci Requiem: I. Introit and Kyrie

Anonymous, Leonardo da Vinci

"Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion
Et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem
Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them
A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion
And a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem
Hear my prayer all flesh shall come to thee
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them

O Leonardo, why do you toil so much?

Because movement will cease before we are weary of being useful

Shadow is not the absence of light: merely the obstruction of luminous rays by an opaque body

We are all exiled living within the frame of a strange picture

Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy"
