In Paradisum from William Harper on Vimeo.
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz - El Greco, 1586
Music: In Paradisum - William Harper, 1995
This painting depicts the Count of Orgaz is being lowered into his coffin by the miraculous apparitions of Saints Peter and Paul. At a funeral the 9th Century hymn In Paradisum would be chanted at this point in the Mass.
In this music I use the In Paradisum chant tune from the Requiem Mass (Liber Usualis 1956, p. 1768) as the basis for a scene from my opera, El Greco, which recreated the painting on stage.
