Angel Bat Dawid - Requiem for Jazz

Jazz reflects the improvised life thrust upon the Negro

LACRIMOSA- Weeping our Lady of Sorrow

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

REX TREMENDAE –Futureless Future

AGNUS DEI-Jazz is Dead!

DIAS IRE- Chain Around the Spirit

KYRIE ELEISON- Lawd Hav’ Merci

Jazz is merely the Negroes cry of Joy & Suffering

SANCTUS- Holy, Holy, Holy

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

Another restraining factor in Jazz are the changes

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

CONFUTATIS-Repression

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

TUBA MIRUM- The Changes

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

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

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

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

OFFERTURIUM-HOSTIAS-Humility

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

INTROIT- Joy n’ Suff’rin
