Lockrimosa (a locked-down pandemic parody of Mozart’s ‘Lacrimosa’)

An a cappella pandemic parody of ‘Lacrimosa’, from Mozart’s Requiem in D minor. Lyrics: Feeling the lockdown slowing the clock down. Days don’t seem to start or end; they start to blend into each other. Day becomes night becomes morning, then evening. At this point time has lost all meaning, and in between bouts of (mostly) internal screaming, we count down the days until we can go outside and see our friends once again. Attempting sourdough, feeling the hours go - somehow they seem to go both fast and slowly, only to repeat, over and again… Plus Alto 2 (lower middle, the one who looks like a ghost), who's running through the days of the week. The whole story of Mozart’s Requiem is wild. According to his widow, Constanze, Mozart was visited by a mysterious stranger in July 1791, who claimed to represent a patron who wanted to commission a Requiem Mass, provided Mozart did not attempt to discover who the patron was. Mozart’s health wasn’t amazing at the time, and he became obsessed with this commission. He was convinced that he was about to die, and believed he had been cursed to write the Requiem for his own funeral. He wasn’t entirely wrong - he died on the 5th of December 1791, aged 35, before he could complete the Requiem. The commission was only half paid-for, and Constanze was afraid that the patron wouldn’t pay the remainder if they discovered that Mozart hadn’t finished the Requiem, so she tried to have the work completed by another composer in secret. She initially approached Joseph von Eybler, who worked on the movements from the Dies irae through to the Confutatis but felt unable to continue. After that, Mozart’s former pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr took over and completed the rest (including the Lacrimosa), wrote out the entire score in his own handwriting (possibly to obscure who wrote what), and the completed Requiem was given to the stranger. The anonymous patron turned out to be Count Franz von Walsegg, who wanted the Requiem for a memorial service for his late wife. Walsegg was an amateur musician, and probably wanted to pass the Requiem off as his own composition - he apparently had a history of hiring composers to write music that he’d then claim to have written himself. Unfortunately for Walsegg, Constanze saw to it that the piece was publicly accepted to be Mozart’s work. I’m sure this was partly out of love for her late husband (by all accounts their marriage was a very happy one), but it was also a matter of survival for her - she could only receive revenue for the Requiem’s publication and performance if it was acknowledged as Mozart’s.
