'i fear I am writing a requiem for myself', Mozart

 Mozart's Requiem in full

So we have this very haunting, mopey beginning to it. You can catch that part in the movie Amadeus, also. Not to be confused with the international airline ticketing system. That's a very interesting and likeable piece of music. This goes for around eight minutes. The mopey part melts away into staggered choral arrangements, overlaid nicely with each other. Very beautiful.

Then you have the Dies Irae or whatever we mentioned a few posts ago. A completely different piece of music that follows the mopey section immediately aforementioned. This is a very rapid and vibrant piece of music. Very bombastic and strident, not at all mopey but vivacious.

The next thing you're getting is Mozart returning to operetta, like a tenor and bass and later a soprano, discussing something in Latin or something. Doesn't sound anything like the aforementioned two which don't sound anything like each other.

I don't know where Mozart's going with this third conversational sounding operetta part of his Requiem. Plus what are they even talking about? Maybe mambi-pambi land...?

I'll find out shortly where Mozart was going with that Requiem as I roll to a gardening job today. After mowing my own backyard with a $20 old self propelling lawnmower I acquired recently from my Anglo Saxon lawnmowing guy, a splendid chap, saving my back muscles the ongoing continual workout with the self propelling function (cannot use this mower for other jobs as has other issues), I recalled the time I sold a pretty young Ukrainian woman a kind of naturally made candle. I recalled this after seeing my bbq woodfire stack and one of the wooden stalks there from a native Australian plant, produces a similar wooden stalk to an Arizona native plant. There in Arizona one of my buddy's in Sedona showed me how he added candlewax to these stalks and how well they burned like candles. I suppose in Mozart's time they couldn't just turn on a switch but had to light candles to write music at night. 

Anyway, I was walking along one of these desert highways of Sedona, possibly heading to Rite Aid for my 9-5 checkout chick/storeman job, when I sold this Ukrainian girl one of these $10 candles. 

And now, the post two guys and a kid singing about where's they shovels or candles or whatever, Requiem mass:

Ok so until you get to the Confutatis Maledictus part which is pretty riveting, you also see that in the Amadeus movie just posted about recently along with Project Pat (and Juicy J, DJ Paul, etc). But prior to that it's more obscure meandering like an old age home people just kind of wondering when they're gonna die kind of thing. Not what you'd expect from a young robust approximately 30 year old man. 

The Confutatis Maledictus is pretty amazing. I would just ditch the two basses and a soprano plus meandering old folks singing parts completely. Too morbid.

The Lacrimosa that follows is pretty moving.
