Orchestra and Chorus

Explanation:

The first two verses in the opening of the Dies Irae is performed in chorus and orchestra at a fast pace with loud volume. Both verses are mainly of homophonic, with small moments of polyphony in the second verse. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote musical notes of the Requiem in Vienna in late 1791, and it remained uncompleted after his death.
