The University atAlbany sits at the confluence of the Hudson andMohawkriversonthetraditionallandsoftheKanien’keháka and Muh-he-con-neok people, who stewarded this land for generations before the arrival of European colonists.The Kanien’keháka (People of the Flint) and Muh-he-con-neok (PeopleoftheWatersthatareNeverStill)aremorecommonly knowntodayastheMohawkHaudenosauneeandStockbridgeMunsee Band of Mohicans. Despite the similarity of their westernized names, the Mohawk and Mohican were culturally and linguistically distinct.
The UAlbany community recognizes that we live and work on the homelands of sovereign Indigenous nations with rich histories and cultures that continue today – both within NewYork and beyond.
As an institution devoted to teaching, scholarship, and service, we strive to understand and learn from our history and to affirm Indigenous rights and issues.To this end, we are committed to cultivating reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities focused on equity, social justice, and sustainability – and dismantling legacies of colonization.

Program
By the Waters of Babylon Philip Hayes 1737-1797Dies Irae from Requiem
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756-1791
Day of wrath, that day will dissolve the earth in ashes as David and the Sibyl bear witness. What dread there will be when the Judge shall come to judge all things strictly.

Confutatis/Lacrymosa from Requiem W.A. Mozart
Andrew Calvacca, solo
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis, Voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis, Gere curam mei finis.
When the accursed have been confounded and given over to the bitter flames, call me with the blessed.
I pray in supplication on my knees. My heart contrite as the dust, safeguard my fate.
Lacrimosa dies ilia
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus, Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem.
On the Common Ground
Mournful that day when from the dust shall rise the guilty to be judged. Therefore spare them, O God.
Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest.
Alice Parker
