Super Flumina Babylonis (Psalm 137)
Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924)
Soprano: Rebecca Koenigberg, Alto: Kali Paguirigan
Tenor: Brian Stone; Bass: Bradley Thompson
Psalm 137: New Revised Standard Version (sung in latin)
Super flumina,
Super flumina Babylonis,
Illic sedimus et flevimus,
Cum recorda remur Sion.
In salicibus in medio ejus
Suspendimus organa nostra.
Quia Illic interrogaverunt nos,
Qui captivos duxerunt nos
Verba cantionum,
Et qui abdu xerunt nos,
Hymnus cantate nobis de canticis Sion.
Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini
In terra aliena?
Si oblitus fuero tui Jerusalem,
Jerusalem oblivioni detur dextera mea;
Adhaereat linguamea
Facibus meis si non meminero tui,
Si non proposuero Jerusalem
In principio laetitiae meae.
Memor esto, Domine, filiorum Edom
In die Jerusalem;
Qui dicunt: “Exinanite, exinanite
Usque ad fundamentum in ea!”
Filia Babylonis, filia misera!
Beatus qui retribuet tibi retributionem tuam,
Quam retribuisti nobis.
Beatus qui tenebit, et alidet, et alidet,
Parvulos tuos ad petram.
By the rivers of Babylon—
there we sat down, and there we wept
when we remembered Zion.
On the willows there
we hung up our harps.
For there our captors
asked us for songs,
and our tormentors asked for mirth,
saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
How could we sing the Lord’s song
in a foreign land?
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand wither!
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not remember you,
if I do not set Jerusalem
above my highest joy.
Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites
the day of Jerusalem’s fall,
how they said, “Tear it down! Tear it down! Down to its foundations!”
O daughter Babylon, you devastator!
Happy shall they be who pay you back
what you have done to us!
Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!

Introit et Kyrie
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.
Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
Offertoire
O Domine Jesu Christe, rex gloriae,
libera animas defunctorum
de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu.
O Domine Jesu Christe, rex gloriae,
libera animas defunctorum de ore
leonis,
ne absorbeat Tartarus, ne cadant in
obscurum.
Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus:
tu suscipe pro animabus illis
quarum hodie memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad
Vitam quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini eius. Amen.
Sanctus
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth:
pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu, Domine, dona eis requiem.
Pie Jesu, Domine, dona eis
sempiternam requiem.
Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis sempiternam requiem.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia
pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Libera Me
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna,
in die illa tremenda:
quando caeli movendi sunt et terra;
dum veneris iudicare saeculum per
ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo,
dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira.
Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae,
Dies illa, dies magna et amara valde.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
In Paradisum
In paradisum deducant angeli:
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam
Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere,
aeternam habeas requiem.
Introit and Kyrie
Give them eternal rest, Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
A hymn becomes you, God, in Zion,
and a vow shall be paid to you in
Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer: to you all flesh shall come.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Offertory
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
deliver the souls of the departed
from the punishments of hell and from the deep lake.
O Lord Jesus Christ, king of glory,
deliver the souls of the departed from the
mouth of the lion, lest Tartarus swallow them up, lest they fall into darkness.
We offer prayers and sacrifices of praise to you, Lord:
You receive them on behalf of those souls
whose memory we recall today.
Cause them, Lord, to pass from death to
the life which you once promised to
Abraham and his seed. Amen.
Sanctus
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts:
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Pie Jesu
Blessed Jesus, Lord, give them rest.
Blessed Jesus, Lord, give them eternal rest.
Agnus Dei
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
give them rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, give them eternal rest.
May eternal light shine on them, Lord,
with your saints for ever, for you are good.
Give them eternal rest, Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
Libera Me
Deliver me, Lord, from eternal death,
on that terrible day:
when the heavens and earth will be
shaken;
when you will come to judge the age with
fire.
I am made to tremble, and I am afraid,
since trial and anger are coming.
That day, a day of anger, disaster and sorrow,
That day, a mighty day, and one exceedingly bitter.
Give them eternal rest, Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
In Paradisum
May the angels lead you into paradise:
may the martyrs receive you as you arrive,
and bring you into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the choir of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, once a beggar,
may you have eternal rest.

TODAY’S CONCERT PRESENTED IN PART BY THE MONTVIEW SACRED CONCERT FUND
Founded by Conductor and Composer John Kuzma, the Montview Sacred Concert Fund promotes important sacred major concert work repertoire through free annual
performances.
Past concerts include Paul Hindemith’s When Lillacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d, Dvorak: Mass in D and Duke
Ellington’s Sacred Concert.
The fund has also commissioned important new works such as Let The River Flow, a 16-movement jazz mass by Ike Sturm and Chanda Rule, a full orchestral realization of Nancy Galbraith’s Missa Mysterium, and a multitude of works by young composers through the John Kuzma Young Composers Award.
Montview’s Sacred Concert Fund is vital to the continuation of these deeply moving pieces of music. It is only through and with your support that this will happen. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.
