Sebastian Wolff
1929 - 2022
Ireland
Father Sebastian Wolff (17/04/1929 - 19/12/2022), an Irish composer. He has been a monk at the Devon Monastery of Buckfast since 1948 and has dedicated his life to its ongoing work and worship. His duties as organist to the community in its regular cycle of prayer and liturgy, and the undeniable beauty of the Abbey church, have both over the years inspired the creation of his music.
Requiem
The requiem, composed specifically as an act of worship and remembrance rather than as a concert work, dates from 1988-91. In the composer's words, it is 'a modest attempt to express in sound a deep feeling of supplication to God for people who died in this [20th] century of violence.'
It contains: 01. Introit 02. Kyrie 03. Sanctus 04. Benedictus 05. Pie Jesu 06. Agnus Dei 07. Libera me 08. In paradisum |
