  5. A Lutheran Requiem • Theological Principles • Firmly grounded in scripture • Informed throughout by the paschal spirit and the resurrection • Without intercession on behalf of the dead • Liturgical Principles • Worship, not concert -- geared to the assembly's song • Musical leadership to assist in diverse gatherings • Instructional in intent (song helps inscribe texts onto our hearts) • Accessible in style: tuneful, singable, scored for piano • "Nor do we sing any dirges or doleful songs over our dead and at the grave, but comforting hymns of the forgiveness of sins, of rest, sleep, life, and of the resurrection of departed Christians so that our faith may be strengthened and the people be moved to true devotion." • "For vigils and requiem masses and yearly celebrations of requiems are useless, and are merely the devil's annual fair." •                                                                          -- Martin Luther
