An All Souls Day Musical Interlude

From Mary Pat Campbell we get the following. Memento Mori: All Souls Day

Yesterday was the Solemnity of All Saints, and a Holy Day of Obligation (hey, fellow Catholics, did you go to Mass?), but one of my sentimental favorite days of the liturgical calendar is November 2, the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, better known as All Souls Day.

Click through, and page down, for Verdi's Requiem "Dies irae," The Haydn Requiem, and page down even farther for "Lux aeterna" by Mozart from his Requiem Mass.

Amen.
