This song is one of Ormus Cama's last hits in Rushdie's The Ground beneath Her Feet. It consists of 17 tercets and one quatrain, but an anonymous writer later added an unrhymed couplet ending in "amen" to the end. It is included in the liturgy for All Soul's Day, and Fauré and Duruflé departed from convention by refusing to incorporate it into their requiems. Attributed to Tomas of Celano, for ten points, this medieval chant is named by its first two words, which mean "Day of wrath."
