Ad Mortem Festinamus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ad Mortem Festināmus is a monodic song (fol. 26v) from the 1399 manuscript Llibre Vermell de Montserrat.[1] Its lyrics deal with the inevitability of death and the need to stop sinning. Its first few verses overlap with those of “Scribere Proposui”, a song from the 1582 Piae Cantiones. It has been recorded by a variety of artists, including the electronic neo-medieval act Qntal, that gave new music to the lyrics and made it a club hit in 1992.
