(The latin text does perhaps help the mystery element to lessen the intensity of the words for those who dont understand it or don't have a missalette handy to read. I compiled a very accurate english metrical translation for singing purposes, so I know how it sounds in both languages. This is because the dies irae was never written with the intention that it be used at funerals. Though we all must be judged before Him, the dramatic way it is put in that sequence seems to suggest and stereotype us as universally unrepentent super-sinners at the time of our deaths. (He helped officially omit the "Dies irae" in 1969) This is probably the only view someone can link me to where I am not in disagreement with Annibale Bugnini, who I think is a very bad man. I prefer to have it rather than nothing, but I recognize its severety does not appeal to some people.
In some sense Vatican II liturgical reforms had a point in making it optional (optional being effectively a synonymn for no longer used !), but they never replaced it with anything better either, therefore I am somewhat ambivalent about that beautreacratic decision. While I am a traditional latin rite orthodox catholic christian, and like the dies irae immensely, it's last judgement theme seems a bit too severe for funerals. The melody itself is the generic "lauda syon/victorine" type, but the theology of the text is outstanding! I hope to try it with a different melody eventually. You can find it transcribed in Nemisio's Valles excellent dissertation on the Mass and Office for the Dead before the reformation. In my opinion this is a far superior sequence which is more appropriate for funerals. Instead the sequence "De profundis exclamantes" was the sequence for the Mass of the Dead. (THIS IS WHY: The earliest surviving polyphonic setting of the Requiem by Johannes Ockeghem does not include a Dies Irae, after this the first polyphonic settings to include the Dies Irae are by Engarandus Juvenis (c.1490) and Antoine Brumel (1516) to be followed by many composers of the renaissance. some areas still had no sequence at all for funerals in fact. I believe the council of trent and its aftermath first standardized it as a required proper of the Mass of the Dead. Here are a few examples of just first two opening stanzas. This revered bit of liturgical poetry has come to us in various English translations. We thank everyone for sticking with us until now, and we hope you will stay with us until the streamed episodes are out, as well as our work other possible Dies Irae/Shinza Banshou related content.Contrary to popular belief, the Dies Irae was rarely sung before the 15th century. One of the most revered and beloved of chant sequences is the Dies Irae, which is sung on All Souls Day and for Requiem Masses in general.
