Classical Music Playlist, October 28, 2022
"Moment from the Last Days of Mozart." Mozart, with the score of the Requiem on his lap, gives last-minute instructions. Mozart's wife Constanze is in the background. By Eduard Friedrich Leybold (1857).
Halloween is lots of fun with costumes, Trick or Treat, horror movies and spooky music. But these all evolved from ancient traditions of prayer and remembrance for departed souls across cultures and religions. A Requiem Mass is one such ritual, and Mozart’s Requiem is today’s Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
