@PhilosophyExp You'll know it already since you're a fan of the Requiem, but here it is for anyone else listening in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE2muDZksP4 …
Say what you like about religion - and God knows, I have done - but the opening of Mozart's Requiem is magnificent. http://bit.ly/P1cuEq

@PaulaSKirby You probably already know that Mozart only wrote the first 8 bars of the Lacrimosa. Sussmayr completed it. -
@PhilosophyExp Yes. I was pretty lachrymose myself when I found out. Didn't feel right, somehow. -
@PaulaSKirby I know. Bloody Mozart dying before he completed it! ;) -
@PhilosophyExp I know. No sense of commitment whatsoever.

@PhilosophyExp I twice performed that piece in St. Martin in the Fields. Magical, especially in there. (Am I espousing atheism 'plus' now?) -
@NotungSchwert Ah yes, because it's got a great trombone moment in it, of course. -
@PhilosophyExp Indeed! Although I played alto both times unfortunately. (The tenor has the solo) -
@NotungSchwert It's a very cool moment, though. Is there anything like it pre-Mozart? Saw it performed at Easter. Great stuff. -
@PhilosophyExp Er... I don't know of anything that "solo-y", but I'm far from knowledgeable about pre-Classical.

@PhilosophyExp Really says more about our capacity for awe and expression, no? -
@Questingrat I think that's a very complicated discussion/argument. :) -
@PhilosophyExp Indeed. Damn the limitations of twitter!
