Musical Context
"Lacrimosa" (Latin for "weeping") is part of the Dies Irae sequence of the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass. It holds a legendary status in music history because it was the final piece of music Mozart worked on before his death in 1791. He only managed to write the first eight bars before passing away, leaving his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr to finish the rest of the composition. HAUSER's rendition emphasizes the mournful, dramatic, and haunting nature of the piece through the dark, resonant tones of the cello.
