About This Item
Mozart's Requiem remains one of his best-loved works, not little because of the mythology surrounding it. Mozart left it unfinished when he died in December 1791. The completion by Franz Xaver Süßmayr, made in order to fulfill the Count von Walsegg's commission of the piece, is still generally the completion performed today, although several modern musicologists have offered alternative completions. The first French performance took place in Paris in 1804 (with the present title page giving the date of 30 Frimaire An 13 in the French Revolutionary calendar).
Gluck's De Profundis is a short setting of Psalm 130 for SATB choir and small orchestra with an unusual and low instrumentation (oboe, viola, horn, three trombones, cello, and continuo.) The work was first performed at Gluck's own funeral in November 1787, conducted by none other than Antonio Salieri. The use of trombones with the associations of death and the afterlife make it a fitting pairing with Mozart's Requiem.
