Requiem

Requiem in D minor, K. 626 is a requiem mass by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1791. The work blends liturgical choral and solo vocal writing with orchestral forces, combining solemn contrapuntal sections and dramatic operatic gestures; it was left unfinished at Mozart's death and later completed by his pupil, and is widely performed as a major example of his late style and of Classical-era sacred music.
