VI) of the Requiem that I composed in 2007, as performed by the Orlando Chamber Singers under the direction of Gregory Ruffer on May 18, 2008. I had wanted to write a requiem for quite some time, having been swept away by the Requiems of Brahms, Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Mozart and Daley.
"Life's work well done,
Life's race well run,
Life's crown well won,
Now comes rest."
--- Edward Hazen Parker
If [they] have given you delight
By aught that [they] have done,
Let [them] lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:
And for that little, little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to question other than
The [deeds] [they] leave behind.
--- Kipling

Some background:
I have sung the traditional version of Good King Wenceslas since I was a kid. I fell in love with the lyrics and the story, but have always been puzzled by the way it was arranged, in particular the way that the "las" of Wenceslas lands on the downbeat. When I was young, I thought the lyrics were actually "Good King Wences last looked out!"
