A '''Requiem''' is a funeral [[mass]] that generally includes a [[prayer]] for the [[soul]], a time for general remembrance, and a moment for grief or expressed loss.
Classical music (often funded directly by the Church) has a long history of setting the Requiem to music. Some of the most famous include: [[Brahms]]' Ein deutsches Requiem, [[Mozart]]'s Requiem in D minor, and [[Verdi]]'s Requiem.
