So Mozart didn’t write his Requiem Mass in D Minor all by himself. Its completion by others is a story of intrigue and deception. You can hear the magnificent result on Music Sunday at the First Unitarian Society in Newton, 1326 Washington Street, this Sunday, March 22 at 10:15AM. It will be performed by a combination of the choirs from three UU congregations (Dedham, Needham, and Newton) with orchestra and professional soloists. The same event was presented last Sunday in Dedham, with this review: “A really amazing and moving performance.” Admission is free, with donations accepted.

It is a good story Bruce. I had never heard it before.
Wonderful performance of Mozart’s Requiem this morning at my FUSN. Thank you to Anne Watson Born, our musical director, our orchestra, and the members of our choir from First Church and Parish in Dedham, First Parish in Needham Unitarian Universalist, and First Unitarian Society in Newton.
Special thanks to Costanze Mozart, without whom her late husband’s work would never have been completed, published and played for the world. Tuba mirum spargens sonum, per sepulcra regionum, coget omnes ante thronum.
