Confutatis Maledictis

The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed inVienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death. A completion by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death. 

With levels of deceptions and secrets, many myths emerged with respect to the circumstances of the work's completion. One series of myths surrounding the Requiem involves the role Antonio Salieri played in the commissioning and completion of the Requiem and in Mozart's death generally. While the most recent retelling of this myth is Peter Shaffer's playAmadeus and the movie made from it, it is important to note that the source of misinformation was actually a 19th century play byAlexander Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri, which was turned into an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov and subsequently used as the framework for Amadeus

Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum benedictus. 

Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis, gere curam mei finis.

When the accused are confounded, and doomed to flames of woe,
call me among the blessed. I kneel with submissive heart, my contrition is like ashes, help me in my final condition.
