Out of all the parts that Sussmayr wrote, this one is the one most likely to be written by Mozart, there are no "un-mozartian" elements like in the other movements :p

[toogoodbw]

@rossyxan I am not familiar with what movements are allegedly composed by sussmayr, but I would bet the farm Mozart wrote the Introitus and the Kyrie. The Kyrie is extremely Mozart in style.

[rossyxan]

@toogoodbw "At the time of Mozart's death on 5 December 1791, only the opening movement (Requiem aeternam) was completed in all of the orchestral and vocal parts. The following Kyrie and most of the sequence (from Dies Irae to Confutatis) were complete only in the vocal parts and the continuo (the figured organ bass), though occasionally some of the prominent orchestral parts were briefly indicated, such as the violin part of the Confutatis and the musical bridges in the Recordare."

[rossyxan]

@toogoodbw The whole Sanctus, Benedictus and this movement were meant to have been written by Franz Xavier Sussmayr. Most scholars agree that Benedictus and Sanctus are Sussmayr (too many non-Mozartian idioms and style) but this movement is the only one likely to have been sketched/taught to Sussmayr by Mozart before he died, since there are so many Mozartian elements and no mistakes like the other Sussmayr parts.

@toogoodbw @toogoodbw This is an interesting link, it's the version using only what Mozart wrote, with no additional bits - look up mozart requiem verklaertenacht1899. :D

[toogoodbw]

@rossyxan thanks for the background. I was aware of some of the back story. I know Constanza (That was Mrs. Mozart name right?) wanted the worked to be finished so she could get paid. I suppose Sussmayr got compensated to finish it.

Mozart's Requiem is so awesome

[JosephGlaser]

anyone know why the timpanist would play all of those sixteenth notes with one hand?

[bigdude627]

@JosephGlaser Most percussionists if possible in a concert setting would prefer one hand over both hands when playing a constant rhythm; the sound is more consistent coming from one hand than if it were to be played with two. At that level, either should produce the same sound... i guess it's just personal preference

[asa1342]

I would travel thousands of miles to hear a mass like this.

[siLveRscOpe13x]

what are those really funky horns they're holding?

[cbdd18]

they are called basset horns....they are not usually used in contemporary music, but mozart composed for them

[Dodo251]

@cbdd18 They sound marvelous, especially at the beginning of Recordare!

Agnus Dei

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

grant them rest.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

grant them everlasting rest.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona eis requiem.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona eis requiem sempiternam.

[iichigo3]

agnus=lamb dei=god

agnus+dei=lamb of god

[0431537948241]

agnus = nominative singular 2nd declension = lamb

dei = genitive singular 2nd declension = of god

[vdgmrpro4000]

ah a fellow who knows his Latin. I love seeing that.

[0431537948241]

Haha! Yes, it isn't seen much these days! Sometimes I do lament the passing of the English Grammar School system, where one learned such things by rote!
