Classical Series - Mozart's Requiem K626 - LACRIMOSA - Evanescence - LACRYMOSA - Steve Amerson.

The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death. A completion by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death.

It is one of the most enigmatic pieces of music ever composed, mostly because of the myths and controversies surrounding it, especially around how much of the piece was completed by Mozart before his death. The autograph manuscript shows the finished and orchestrated introit in Mozart's hand, as well as detailed sketches of the Kyrie and the sequence Dies irae as far as the first nine bars of "Lacrimosa", and the vocal parts of the offertory. It cannot be shown to what extent Süssmayr may have depended on now lost "scraps of paper" for the remainder; he later claimed the Sanctus and Agnus as his own.

Walsegg probably intended to pass the Requiem off as his own composition, as he is known to have done with other works. This plan was frustrated by a public benefit performance for Mozart's widow Constanze. A modern contribution to the mythology is Peter Shaffer's 1979 play Amadeus, in which the mysterious messenger with the commission is the masked Antonio Salieri who intends to claim authorship for himself.

The Requiem is scored for 2 basset horns in F, 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets in D, 3 trombones (alto, tenor & bass), timpani (2 drums), violins, viola and basso continuo (cello, double bass, and organ). The vocal forces include soprano, contralto, tenor, and bass soloists and a SATB mixed choir.

Lyrics for Evanescence -"Lacrymosa"

Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?

Blame it on me
set your guilt free
nothing can hold you back now

Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...

to let you blame it on me
and set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now love

I can't change who I am
not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me
and in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up
my love wasn't enough

and you can blame it on me
just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now love

Very nice. Mozart's Requiem of Lacrimosa is very nice. Evanescence brings out Lacrimosa nicely in her Lacrymosa. And Amy Lee of Evanescence could also be considered Alternative Metal :]

[ZomboneNecros]

very, VERY nice. <3 Mozart

@HerlockSholmes123 Hey there, Sir,

I see you found my other channel! (^_^)

I thought Salieri did that - or did he try to finish the entire Requiem?

It would be a HerlockSholmes123, I would think, who would flush out the imposter, Salieri, who would dare to think he could write anything as beautiful as Mozart. But then, Salieri wasn't fortunate enough to own a pair of them there Ray-Bans! By the way, I zapped your Ray-Ban Mozart off your video. I will be using it sometime soon. (*_*)
