LACRIMOSA means tearful, mournful, weeping, in sorrow. I am particularly fond of the Requiem movement called Lacrimosa. Mozart himself had his funeral service at that same cathedral in 1791 when he died. At the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death, conductor Sir Georg Solti conducted this work at the St. However, his student, Franz Xaver Süssmayr worked on creating the completed work from Mozart’s sketches, and this is one of the versions that is played in modern times. ![]() ![]() Suffice it to say that the Requiem is an amazing work, and Mozart did not get to complete it. His father was a well-known composer himself, being the assistant to Salzburg Court’s concertmaster, as well as an instructor and author of a famous how-to textbook on violin playing. ![]() The story of Mozart’s commission to write a Requiem coming literally at the end of his life is well known, so I won’t repeat it here. Mozart, born in 1756 on January 27, was the last of seven, and only one of two surviving children born to Anna Maria, whose maiden name was Pertl, and Leopold Mozart. ![]()
