Verdi: Requiem Ire and Lacrimosa

The shock and horror as the strikes occurred are proclaimed in Verdi's Day of Judgment: the "Dies Irae." (Dies irae and Tuba mirum)

Our ensuing agony and weeping infuse the Requiem's "Lacrimosa."

Hopefully one day we will move on to the "Libera me."

[Submitted not for its religious content, but rather, for Verdi's astounding grasp and expression of the human experience.]
