Lacrimosa
Christian hymn used in music for Requiem / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Christian hymn. For other referents of the term, see Lacrimosa (disambiguation).
The Lacrimosa (Latin for "weeping/tearful"), also a name that derives from Our Lady of Sorrows,[citation needed] a title given to The Virgin Mary, is part of the Dies Irae sequence in the 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.
