Origin
The word requiem comes from the first words of the opening prayer of the mass: Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine ("Grant them eternal rest, O Lord"). The phrase requies aeterna ("eternal rest") is derived from the Latin verb requiescere ("to rest").
The Requiem mass was originally developed in the Middle Ages as a way to commemorate the dead and pray for their souls. The mass includes prayers, readings, and musical pieces that are specifically designed to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility.
Over time, the Requiem mass became one of the most popular and widely performed musical compositions in the world. Composers such as Mozart, Verdi, and Brahms have all written famous Requiems that are still performed today.
