Mozart - Requiem - Lacrimosa - 27-01: 253rd anniversary of Mozart's birth video

DOWNLOADABLE VIDEO: In order to celebrate the 3.5 million combined views that my two Lacrimosa videos are getting, I made a video with the best version in my opinion. It can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/95902550/ea371914/moz-req-lac-her.html *----------*---------* BETTER QUALITY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkT07TP-mo&feature=related&fmt=18 At the time of Mozart's death on 5 December 1791 he had only completed the opening movement (Requiem aeternam) in all of the orchestral and vocal parts. The following Kyrie (a double fugue), and most of the Sequence (from Dies Irae to Confutatis), is complete only in the vocal parts and the continuo (the figured organ bass), though occasionally some of the prominent orchestral parts have been briefly indicated, such as the violin part of the Confutatis and the musical bridges in the Recordare. The last movement of the Sequence, the Lacrimosa, breaks off after only eight bars and was unfinished. The following two movements of the Offertorium were again partially done -- the Domine Jesu Christe in the vocal parts and continuo (up until the fugue, which contains some indications of the violin part) and the Hostias in the vocal parts only. *----------*-------------*-----------*-----------* Lacrimosa dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen Tearful that day, on which will rise from ashes guilty man for judgment. So have mercy, O Lord, on this man. Compassionate Lord Jesus, grant them rest. Amen. All of Mozart's music: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/ All of Mozart's scores: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/nmapub_srch.php
