Requiem K 626 in D Minor

Requiem in D minor, K.626 is a requiem mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1791. The work combines Classical choral and orchestral forces with dramatic contrasts, expressive solo writing and contrapuntal textures in a sombre D minor idiom, and it is Mozart's final major composition, left unfinished at his death and later completed by others, shaping subsequent approaches to the requiem genre.
