A journey to the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem

Sara Mohr-Pietsch charts a path to the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem, commissioned in mysterious circumstances, and unfinished at his death at the age of 35.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch charts a path to the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem, commissioned in mysterious circumstances, and unfinished at his death at the age of 35. The Lacrimosa is considered to be the last music Mozart wrote. There are stop-offs to hear the Requiem by Tomas Luis de Victoria, an unfinished work by Bach, and posthumously-completed music by Puccini and John Lennon.

To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: 'Ask ѿý Sounds to play Music Map.'
