The
Requièm Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was
composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death
on December 5. 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.
The autograph manuscript shows the finished and
orchestrated introit in Mozart's hand, as well as detailed drafts of the
Kyrie and the sequence Dies Irae as far as the first nine bars of
"Lacrimosa", and 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 Dei 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 a mysterious messenger appeared and ordered
Mozart to write a requiem mass, giving no explanation for the order.
Mozart then came to believe that the piece was meant to be the requiem
mass for his own funeral.
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 an SATB mixed choir.
