Now I turn to you all...

What is that Opera song called in FABF06 "Margical history tour" in scenes when Mozart/Bart drinks booze at The street and when he dies?? I caught a small snippet of it over at LardLad, but other than that, I can't find it. Thanks!

:::Darnit...I forgot to update:::

Yes, after further research, I did find out that it is Mozart's REquiem Mass, more specifically, the part that is entitled [Sequentia] Lacrimosa.

Thanks!

Some more background to this piece of music:
The "requiem" (latin mass for the dead) is Mozart's last, unfinished composition.
The "Lacrimosa" part (decribing the "Day of Tears") contains the very last notes Mozart has written: half way, the music breaks off (The piece has been later completed by one of his students.)

Of course, the Simpsons short is a parody of the 1984 movie "Amadeus", the movie which made Mozart's life (and the story of the Requeim) so well-known and popular.

Too bad the parody is so horribly unfunny and awkward...
