TL;DR — One-page square-note score of the Gregorian introit ‘Requiem aeternam’ from the Mass for the Dead, with its psalm verses.

A single-page score of the introit Requiem aeternam, the opening chant of the Latin Mass for the Dead (mode VI), in traditional square-note Gregorian notation, typeset in LaTeX (LuaTeX) by Stefano Ferri in 2019.

The antiphon text (“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them”) is from 4 Esdras 2:34–35; the score also sets several verses from Psalm 64 (65), each followed by a return to the antiphon.

What it is: A typeset liturgical music score. The chant is centuries old; this engraving is a modern amateur typesetting.
