Seyf
ried uses the same key as
the Requiem, its
distinctive orchestral
sonority and quotes two
passages from
Mozart’s work
prompted by clauses in
the liturgical text. The
‘Libera me’
was widely used in
nineteenth-century
Vienna, both in its
original version for
voices and instrumental
ensemble, and for voices
and organ alone. This
edition allows both types
of performance..
