A candlelight vigil for Wolfgang Mozart, 2012 Dec 5
Candles up for Mozart! If his music has brought you joy, please consider lighting a candle in his memory.
Light your candle at 12:20am (local time) and extinguish it at 12:55am. This 35 minute duration represents Mozart's 35 years of life and 12:55am represents the time his light left our world on December 5, 1791. This vigil is intended to be a unique and personalized shared experience for Mozart admirers worldwide.
Mozart: Andantino from Concerto in C for Flute and Harp
Mozart's Requiem: The last composition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the Requiem, K 626, Mass in D minor, one of his masterpieces and most popular works. While ailing and confined to bed, he tirelessly worked on it. He left the Requiem unfinished as he died almost an hour after midnight of December 5, 1791.
In form, the work is in eight parts and contains fourteen musical numbers, as completed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr, Mozart’s pupil. Check out my related articles:
