Lacrimosa

The Lacrimosa (Latin for "weeping/tearful"), is part of the Dies Irae sequence in the Catholic Requiem Mass. Its text comes from the Latin 18th and 19th stanzas of the sequence.[1] Many composers, including Mozart, Berlioz, and Verdi have set the text as a discrete movement of the Requiem.
