Текст песни Marina Laslo - Mozart - Requiem - Lacrimosa

Part 8 Requiem: Lacrimosa dies illa (tearful day)

Not long before his death, a mysterious stranger in a black mask visited Mozart and ordered him a Requiem. As the composer's biographers established, it was Count F. Walseg-zu-Stuppach, who decided to pass off the purchased work as his own. Mozart plunged into work, but misgivings did not leave him. A mysterious stranger in a black mask, the "black man" stood relentlessly before his eyes. The composer begins to think that he is writing this funeral mass for himself ... The work on the unfinished Requiem, which to this day stunning listeners with mournful lyricism and tragic expressiveness, was completed by his student Süsmeier.
