The BBC Singers, together with the soprano Lynne Dawson, sang extracts from Verdi's Requiem:
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna, in die illa
tremenda quando coeli movendi sunt, et terra:
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo, dum
discussio venerit, atque ventura ira. Dies illa,
dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae, dies magna et
amara valde. Requiem aeternam dona eis
Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death in that
dread day when the heavens and the earth shall
be shaken, and you will come to judge the
world by fire. I tremble in awe of the judgement
and the coming wrath. Day of wrath, day of
calamity and woe, great and exceeding bitter
day. Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, and
let perpetual light shine upon them.)
