About this product
Constanze Mozart was later to claim that her husband had a premonition that the Requiem was an omen of his own coming death, a suggestion to which one may attach little credence, however attractive the story may appear to the romantic imagination. Mozart seemed, in the summer of 1791, very much more cheerful than he had been, since his fortunes had taken an obvious turn for the better. In November, however, he was taken ill and within a fortnight he was dead, his death ascribed by his doctor to military fever, but the subject of much subsequent speculation. On 4th December he felt well enough to sing with his friends parts of the Requiem, which was still incomplete. Benedikt Schack, Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, sang the soprano part in falsetto, Mozart sang alto, the violinist Hofer, husband of Constanze's sister Josefa, Queen of the Night, sang tenor and Franz Gerl, whose wife played Papagena, while he took the part of Sarastro, sang bass. It is said that Mozart burst into tears and could go no further when it came to the Lacrimosa, of which, incidentally, he had written on I y the first eight bars. This was in the afternoon. In the evening his condition worsened and he died at five minutes to one on the morning of 5th December, to be buried a day or so later in an unmarked grave. Mozart had completed the composition and scoring of the Introit and Kyrie, used by Süssmayer for the final Communion, Lux aeterna. The great Sequence, the Dies Irae, was sketched fairly fully up to the verse Lacrimosa, dies illa, a point at which Eybler too gave up his tentative work on the score. Süssmayer continued the Lacrimosa for a further 22 bars, completing it. Mozart had written the voice parts and bass of the Offertory, as he had for much of the Dies Irae, and this Süssmayer completed. Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei are the work of Süssmayer.

Composer Brice Pauset writes InchEurydiceInch is an isolated work and unlike the other works does not belong to a cycle. InchEurydiceInch is related to an experience of thinking, one of my favorite concerns. In this particular case and following to the ideological line rather closed to that of the philosopher Slavoj Zizek, it consists in revisiting a myth which accustomed to us to a single point of view, that of a victorious hero. Here I am interested in the subjectivity of the unfortunate and powerless heroine or more exactly an heroine condemned to unpower...InchUn-RuheInch (upheaval) is a cycle of four works gathering three main ideas under different ways chattering voice, harpischord and a spacialized and in a three groups divided orchestra. The complete cycle is a critic of democracy in it's today normative form and refers easily to experiences of thinking There are two litterary sources in the first piece firstly Rosa Luxemburg, one of the most radical main figure of our past revolution history recognized by the global oligarchy as a past figure and for that reason has to be ignored; and secondly some graffitis, banners, anonymous tracts seen on Tahrir Place in Cairo still alive traces of a recent revolution but acceptable because of the distance. InchTheorie der TränenInch (Theory of tears) is the main title of a perfect informal cycle works are gathering according to meetings and readings.
