Requiem: Version for String Quartet

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Kuijken Quartet

Requiem: Version for String Quartet is an arrangement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem, the unfinished requiem mass he composed in 1791. Presented for string quartet, the arrangement transposes the work's liturgical choral and orchestral textures into intimate bowed-string timbres, emphasising contrapuntal lines, sombre harmonic language and dramatic contrasts while reflecting the work's late Classical style and its place as Mozart's final major composition.
