Mozart Requiem
Incomplete funeral composition
The Mozart Requiem is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's final composition, a mass for the dead left incomplete at his death in 1791.
The circumstances surrounding it—an anonymous commission, Mozart's declining health, his supposed belief he was writing his own funeral music—have made it legendary beyond its musical significance.
Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the work.
The orchestra performed the Mozart Requiem at the memorial service.
