Fair enough...., If that's your interpretation, how do you explain the piano concerto and then the trip hop... To me, if you are going to do a program with a tribute to lost lives during the pandemic, you won't end up in a trip hop version nor start with a piano intro that is not related. So I can accept your interpretation but it still fails to make sense to my brain.
There is a lot more music that would have worked really well for this.
The In Paradisium verse is much more positive.
"May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels receive you and with Lazarus, once (a) poor (man), may you have eternal rest."
for instance : In paradisium by Fauré https://youtu.be/6-i1ESIRKdA
Or the very popular text from Agnus dei
" Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace. "
Here, there are so many great examples... even one from Mozart Requiem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZpFa7iDwBI
but i do find Mozart's requiem much darker than many others, except perhaps Verdi's.
So, I would suggest here Barber's Agnus Dei. https://youtu.be/fRL447oDId4
There is even a great Agnus Dei in Mozart's Coronation Mass (see what I am hinting at!!!!!) but it may be less fun for a figure skating program.
So my views on this remain unchanged.
