The Story
The Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a kind of holy mass in memory of the deceased. Eucharistic funeral services have been documented since the end of the second century. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor dates from 1791 and is his last composition. Mozart had turned to church music in his final years before his untimely death.
During the composition, Mozart became seriously ill and was unable to complete his Requiem until his death on December 5, 1791.
Joseph Eybler and Franz Xaver Süssmayr, a student of Mozart, completed the Requiem on behalf of his wife Constanze Mozart.
The Requiem is one of Mozart’s most popular and appreciated works.
