The Requiem Mass in D minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791, during the last year of the composer's life. 'Lacrimosa' is part of that Requiem Mass and -for me- reveals some of the deepest feelings of human beings and one of mankind's biggest fears: Death.

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.

Tearful that day,
on which will rise from ashes
guilty man for judgment.
So have mercy, Oh God, on this person.
Compassionate Lord Jesus,
grant them rest. Amen.
