Name: Mozart's Requiem
Start: 2024-02-18T15:30:00-06:00
End: 2024-02-18T17:00:00-06:00
Location: St. Paul's United Methodist Church

"[St. Paul’s Choir](https://www.stpaulshouston.org/choir), [St. Paul’s Choral Scholars](https://www.stpaulshouston.org/choralscholars), and [St. Paul’s Treble Choir](https://www.stpaulshouston.org/treble-choir) combine forces with the [Mercury Chamber Orchestra](https://www.mercuryhouston.org/) to perform one of the [greatest choral works](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_(Mozart)) of all time.

"St. Paul’s Choristers choir also joins in performing Mozart’s choral gem “[Ave verum corpus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave_verum_corpus_(Mozart)).”

"Mozart himself was not able to complete the composition of the Requiem. This performance will use the most recent completion of the Mozart’s music, by Michael Ostrzyga, that brings us closer to Mozart’s original intentions than ever before."

To whet your appetite, here is the (fictionalized) scene from "Amadeus" in which a dying Mozart dictates the "Requiem" to his rival (and murderer?) Salieri: [Mozart and Salieri write 'Requiem in D Minor' (Full HD) - Amadeus (1984) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USe-wZ0AOQQ). (And here is another version of the same scene with a rolling visual of the musical notation: [Confutatis Amadeus movie plus scrolling music score (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ0AkP_BFhs).)
