Welcome, dear Halidonians. Today, we explore the mystery behind Mozart's final masterpiece: the Requiem. In 1791, as Mozart's health declined, he received a mysterious commission for a Requiem Mass. A stranger in black delivered the request, insisting on anonymity. Mozart, intrigued
and unsettled, began composing. Despite his failing health, Mozart poured his soul into the Requiem, believing he was writing his own funeral mass. Mozart continued to work until his death on December 5, 1791, leaving the Requiem unfinished. After Mozart's death, his student Süssmayr completed the Requiem, honoring Mozart's vision. Mozart’s Requiem remains a powerful and mysterious work, a final testament to his genius.
