"In paradisum deducant te angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem."
"May the angels lead thee into paradise; may the martyrs receive thee at thy arrival and lead thee to the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels receive thee, and with Lazarus, once a pauper, thou mayest have eternal rest."
'Into paradise', the traditional recessional (with the body) for the Gregorian Requiem mass offered for the repose of the souls of the deceased in the Catholic Church, inspired this emotionally transcendental meditation, a paraphrase on the ancient chant, for organ by Daniel Lesur (son of composer and ondist Alice Lesur), a member of La jeune France.
Written in memory of Henry Forrest in 1933; premièred by Olivier Messiaen at the organ of the Schola Cantorum the same year.
