Communio - Lux aeterna. Introitus: Requiem aeternam II. Sequenz Nos. Offertorium Nos.

The Requiem in D minor , K. Mozart composed part of the Requiem in Vienna in late , but it was unfinished at his death on 5 December the same year. The autograph manuscript shows the finished and orchestrated Introit in Mozart's hand, and detailed drafts of the Kyrie and the sequence Dies irae as far as the first eight bars of the Lacrymosa movement , and the Offertory. Walsegg probably intended to pass the Requiem off as his own composition, as he is known to have done with other works. This plan was frustrated by a public benefit performance for Mozart's widow Constanze. She was responsible for a number of stories surrounding the composition of the work, including the claims that Mozart received the commission from a mysterious messenger who did not reveal the commissioner's identity, and that Mozart came to believe that he was writing the Requiem for his own funeral. The Requiem is scored for 2 basset horns in F, 2 bassoons , 2 trumpets in D, 3 trombones alto , tenor , and bass , timpani 2 drums , violins , viola , and basso continuo cello , double bass , and organ.

Program Notes. Orchestration Chart. Boston Baroque Performances. In mid, when he was working on The Magic Flute, Mozart was visited by a stranger who commissioned him to write a requiem. Mozart was offered a significant fee, half of it in advance, on the condition that it be anonymous. The secret patron behind the commission was Count Franz von Walsegg, who intended to pass off the work as his own composition in memory of his recently departed young wife. Toward the end of that year, after completing The Magic Flute and fulfilling a late commission for another opera, La Clemenza di Tito, Mozart was able to become fully engaged in writing his requiem. By that time, however, he was seriously ill and needed to dictate some of his composition to an assistant. His friend Benedikt Schack, the tenor who sang Tamino in The Magic Flute , relates that, on the afternoon before Mozart died, the composer had the unfinished manuscript of the Requiem brought to him in bed and sang through the vocal parts with several friends.

The third phrase, C , is a solemn ringing where the winds respond to the chords with a staggering harmony, as shown in a Mozartian cadence at mm.

The Requiem and its individual movements have been repeatedly arranged for various instruments. The only place where the word 'Amen' occurs in anything that Mozart wrote in late is in the sequence of the Requiem. Third, as Levin points out in the foreword to his completion of the Requiem, the addition of the Amen Fugue at the end of the sequence results in an overall design that ends each large section with a fugue. This plan was frustrated by a public benefit performance for Mozart's widow Constanze. The chords begin piano on a rocking rhythm in 12 8 , intercut with quarter rests, which will be reprised by the choir after two measures, on Lacrimosa dies illa "This tearful day". The chords play off syncopated and staggered structures in the accompaniment, thus underlining the solemn and steady nature of the music. During this phase of the Requiem's history, it was still important that the public accept that Mozart wrote the whole piece, as it would fetch larger sums from publishers and the public if it were completely by Mozart.

With deception surrounding the Requiem's completion, a natural outcome is the mythologizing which occurred. This work likely influenced the composition of Mozart's Requiem; the Kyrie is based on the " And with His stripes we are healed " chorus from Handel's Messiah , since the subject of the fugato is the same with only slight variations by adding ornaments on melismata.
