Mozart: Requiem - Lacrimosa | SO & GC | CM Berlin

Symphony Orchestra & Grand Choir of the Collegium Musicum Berlin
Conductor: Donka Miteva
Wolfgang A. Mozart: Requiem - Lacrimosa & Amen
newly edited and completed by Michael Ostrzyga ( @MichaelOstrzyga )
Recorded on July 1, 2022 at Berlin Philharmonic, Germany
In the 1960s, a sketch by Mozart of an Amen Fugue surfaced. It can be assumed that it was intended for the Requiem when Mozart wrote it down: Not only is there a sketch for the Rex tremendae and the Magic Flute on the same page, written like the Requiem in 1791, but there are also striking compositional references to the Introit. Moreover, Mozart did not work on any other work during this period in which the word "Amen" appears. The arrangement of the reeds in Mozart's manuscript, as has sometimes been pointed out, does indeed leave far too little space for an extensive fugue at this point, but the exchange and insertion of further reeds was common and also occurred in Mozart's work. It is surely no coincidence that in the years immediately before his death Mozart devoted himself to Handel's Messiah, which concludes with an extended Amen fugue. For the overall architecture of the Requiem, such an Amen Fugue, roughly in the middle of the work, can form a supporting pillar which, together with the pillars at the beginning and end of the work, Kyrie and Cum sanctis tuis, forms a great arched architecture. In the Amen Fugue, which was realised for the new edition, Mozart's view of Bach is particularly evident, partly because it is also very clear in the Kyrie Fugue.
It is impossible to imagine what Mozart would have invented, or perhaps had already invented. Nevertheless, the new addition was about the thought experiment of deducing the extent and nature of Mozart's instructions from everything that exists in someone else's hand. In this way, it is possible to derive - only incompletely, hypothetically, of course - instructions for completing the Requiem as a "whole", based on Mozart's presumed intentions in the form of general procedures, melodic material, contrapuntal constellations, harmonic progressions, instrumental accompaniments, concrete borrowings from older works by Mozart or Handel and Bach, and so on. Once I had uncovered this "composing backwards", I tried to compose the Requiem forwards again, starting from the music Mozart had written up to his death and the influences he bundled in the Requiem. ~ Michael Ostrzyga

Under the roof of Collegium Musicum Berlin, some 450 students and staff of Freie Universität and Technische Universität are gathered to follow their shared passion for music. With most of the musicians having no professional education in music, our two orchestras, two choirs and one big band take great pride in their high level of achievement.

Not just a song but parts of the Prayers in the Mass for the Dead in the Traditional Roman Catholic Mass of the Latin Rite.

[@fishnspaghetti1830]

Mozart's "Lacrimosa" from the Requiem in D minor is a hauntingly poignant masterpiece that transcends time, echoing the profound emotions of its creator's final days. The mere 45 seconds Mozart crafted before his passing encapsulate a spectrum of emotions, from sorrow to awe. The fact that this unfinished symphony endures, with his students completing the composition, speaks volumes about Mozart's enduring influence as a teacher and the timeless resonance of his musical legacy. It's a testament to the power of art to evoke chills and stir the soul, even centuries after its creation.

Beautifully put

[@bripan321]

So true

[@user-fe9vh3fi9c]

Serious question: why do the pieces always get introduced with the key e.g. Dm?

[@MozartLover-rn9ez]

@@user-fe9vh3fi9c Mostly so that it's easier for the composer to write it without having to manually write in sharp or flat notes. It also denotes the "mood" the piece is supposed to be played. Hope this helped!

Love to have this for my funeral.
And who would think a university orchestra could be this good

I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, And decided to play around with the sound setting with some music. For the "vocal" equalizer setting, I chose this. Literal chills, and it felt like I was right in the center of the room as this was playing, surrounded by the awe inspiring sounds of the orchestra and the chorus. This has got to be one of my favorite performances of this piece now, it is just Absolutely perfect, there is no other way to describe it. Bravo!

This beautiful work of art and emotional turmoil always makes me wonder why we as a society think music isn’t worth the investment for the few of us to pursue it. We need this in our lives.

[@xavisan6751]

fantastic version, one of the best!. the rhythm, pauses,the voices... spot on!!

[@NikeShox]

Oh I don't think so.. very good but not (the) best. The rhythm goes a bit too fast. I listened many versions of Mozart's Lacrimosa but Karajan's version is ONE & ONLY. No one can compare with him (except of Mozart of course)

[@collegiummusicumberlin]

Thank you for your feedback!
As an amateur orchestra, we feel very honoured to be mentioned in the same sentence as Karajan. ☺️

[@ProjectFlightPilot_]

Fun fact: 0:40 are the last original 9 bars mozart written in Lacrimosa, the rest was written by someone his wife hired. If you listen closely you can hear the difference in pitch.
