Requiem

Requiem is the Requiem Mass in D minor, K.626, by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, completed in 1791. The composition combines late Classical orchestration with choral and solo vocal writing, characterised by sombre textures, contrapuntal techniques and operatic dramatic gestures, and it was Mozart's final work, left unfinished at his death and completed posthumously, placing it as a closing chapter in his output and in late 18th-century sacred music.
