Mozart - Requiem - Kyrie - 2

This is some of the most inspiring music I've ever heard. Definitely a favorite.

Favorite movement.

IT IS GREAT!

@mastashake315 lol...in relation to this work none of what you just said holds any water at all. It's a death mass and a special work in Mozart's portfolio. He chose minor keys only a handful of times throughout his enormous catalogue. His father had been long dead at the time he composed the Requiem, and as far as social acknowledgement is concerned he was an extremely popular composer during his lifetime, although the real height of his fame came maybe 20 years after his death.

Are you being serious? You know that D minor and F major are parallells that uses the same amount of flats, right? They are practically the same key. Or what do you mean?

i love this requiem, but i love verdi's requiem too, both are really the gratest. And ockeghem is not bad

There are two different versions (well, there are a lot) of the Requiem, and also each director and orchestra give a different "tone". Personally, I really love this one.

It's actually in D minor; the natural minor doesn't have to have c#'s: note how the theme doesn't even touch F, but keeps on resolving on the D.

ask yourself about the period of when the music was written. you'll find that use of the natural minor is not prominent until 20th century music. listen to the music without looking at it and you will hear that it goes from the major to the minor. you've got to look at the big picture, but the thought process is good, keep it up!
