Working with the legendary Psalm Tone Tool I find these bits of text handy.

Here’s the couplet that replaces the Glória Patri in the Office of the Dead:

Réquiem aetérnam * dona eis Dómine.

Lauda Anima - Direct Tone
hr g f 'h hr h.
hr 'h fr f.

Following Tone - Ad Libitum
f gh hr 'g fr f.
hr f 'g gr g.
