This piece borrows thematic material from a section of Handel's Messiah titled "And with his stripes we are healed" for the first subject of its second-movement double fugue. It opens with strings accompanying the notes [read slowly] "D C-sharp D E F" played on the bassoons, which are joined by the basset horns playing a fifth higher. A trombone solo occurs in this piece's Tuba mirum, which is in B-flat like its final three movements; however, like Verdi's piece in the same genre, this piece's tonic key is D minor. At the request of the composer's widow Constanze, this piece was completed by Franz Süssmayr. For 10 points, name this mass for the dead by the composer of Eine kleine nachtmusik ("EYE-nuh KLY-nuh NAKT-moo-zik").
