Tracks 1/1-9;2/1-13 : Edward Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius
1/1-7 Part 1: Prelude -- Jesu, Maria - I am near to death -- So pray for me. . . Kyrie eleison. . . Holy Mary, pray for him -- Rouse thee, my fainting soul -- Sanctus fortis, sanctus Deus -- I can no more -- Proficiscere, anima christiana
2/1-13 Part 2 : Prelude -- I went to sleep -- Another marvel. . . My work is done -- It is a member of that family -- But hark! Low born clods of brute earth -- Dispossessed, aside thrust -- I see not those false spirits -- There was a mortal. . . Praise to the holiest -- But hark! A grand mysterious harmony -- Thy judgment now is near -- Jesu! By that shuddering dread -- Praise to His name! Take me away -- Softly and gently
