Mozart Requiem

Yesterday evening was a sad night after I heard the news that my University classmate John has passed away as a result of sickness.


As a respect to my old friend, and for all the laughters that we have shared during our NUS University's days, I would like to dedicate The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to John.


The Mozart Requiem was composed in 1791. The requiem was Mozart's last composition, and is one of his most powerful and recognized works, not only for its music, but also for the debate over how much of the music Mozart managed to complete before his death, and how much was later composed by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr.

Despite debate about how much of the music was Mozart's, the Requiem has taken a prominent place as one of Mozart's most important works.


Here is to you John! Rest well!
