All Saints Day - All Souls Day

I started downloading music from Rhapsody last Christmas, and now I've built a little library of favorites and ideas for various feasts throughout the year. 

Here's what I have on my All Saint's Day list:

- Mass for Five Voices with Propers from the Feast of All Saints - The Sixteen

- Iste Confessor - The Sixteen

- Justorum Animae - William Byrd

- Justorum Animae - Orlande de Lassus

And here's the All Soul's Day list:

- Burial Sentences, "I am the resurrection and the life" - Elora St. John's Choir

- Introit Requiem Aeternum, Kyrie Eleison - American Boys choir

- Requiem Aeternum, Introito, Mode VI - Silos

- Sequence Dies Irae Dies Illa - (various versions)

- Lux Aeterna - Ambrose Karels, Silos

- Graduale and Introitus Requiem Aeternum - Gabrieli Consort

- Palestrina Missa Pro Defunctis - Chanticleer, The Sixteen and Harry Christophers

- Tractus Absolve Domine - Gabrieli Consort, William Lyons

- De profundis clamavi - Josquin des Pres

- O Domine Jesu Christe - Chapelle du Roi

- Offertory Domine Jesu Christe - Pierre de la Rue, Gabrieli Consort

- Antienne Amen Amen Dico Vobis - Benedictine onks of Notre-Dame de Triors

- Ludwig Daser, Dominus Regit Me - Capella Antiqua

- Illumina facem tuam - Dom Carlo Gesualdo

- Communion Qui manducat carnem meam - Monks of the Abby of Saint-Wadrille

I don't know why I wound up with so much more for All Soul's Day... I guess I really liked the idea of someday singing a full requiem Mass on this day, but it's not happening this year!  I have, however, taught myself the Dies Irae.  It's not hard.  The St. Cecilia Schola very graciously provides the music here: Dies Irae.  I like to sing it as a prayer with the intention of the Poor Souls who have no one to pray for them.
