INTROIT- Joy n’ Suff’rin

Long Tone for Rayna Golding (A Binti Zawadi our Future)

LUX AETERNA – Eternal Light (Angel Bat Dawid) / My Rhapsody (Severson-Leist) feat. Marshall Allen & Knoel Scott

AGNUS DEI-Jazz is Dead!

The Jazz body is dead but the Spirit of Jazz is Alive

SANCTUS- Holy, Holy, Holy

Only when whites have paid the price in suffering to be the Negroes equal

OFFERTURIUM-HOSTIAS-Humility

Because Jazz is the one element in American life where whites must be humble to the Negro

LACRIMOSA- Weeping our Lady of Sorrow

Through Spirituals, through the Blues, then through Jazz we made a memory of our past and a promise of all to come

CONFUTATIS-Repression

Jazz reflects the improvised life thrust upon the Negro

The Negro transforms America’s image of him into a transport of Joy!

REX TREMENDAE –Futureless Future

The Negro experiences the endless daily humiliation of American life which bequeaths him a Futureless Future

TUBA MIRUM- The Changes

Another restraining factor in Jazz are the changes

DIAS IRE- Chain Around the Spirit

KYRIE ELEISON- Lawd Hav’ Merci

Jazz is the musical expression of the triumph of the Negroes Spirit

Jazz is merely the Negroes cry of Joy & Suffering
