Rufus Wainwright

ASTONISHING

I didn't like this song until this year, honestly. It never really clicked. Now, of course, I love it, and play it constantly.

Straight with passion from the heart to heaven!
Must been heard there every time someone plays it!!!!

It's in Latin. It's part of the Roman Catholic mass sung in Latin. Agnus Dei means "lamb of God" and the song is about taking away sin from the world, and asking for peace. That's all I know. Maybe someone else knows more!

Thank you for that, its just such a beautiful piece of music, from the very first note, it holds me.

These are the words for anyone who hasn't got them....

Agnus Dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona nobis pacem

A truly wonderful piece of music!
