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 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.
