Sammanfattning: This essay investigates themes and theologies in Requiem: Mute the Bereaved Memories Speakusing a modified version of Material, Moral, Mysterious as presented in God's Song and Music's Meanings: Theology, Liturgy, and Musicology in Dialogue by James Hawkey, Ben Quash and Vernon White (2020). The analysis highlights the central themes victim/perpetrator and the Holocaust as well as sub-themes such as the game, Mary Had a Little Lamb and the sorrow of the children. The theologies found through the analysis are centred around belonging, longing, nothingness, and redemption. These theologies relate and reacts to the Holocaust as well as the existential state of being a human.
