Everything was thought out so that the work would be like death itself: at once pathetic and terrifying, calm and terrible. Written for four soloists (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), a choir and a symphony orchestra, Mozart removed all the high-pitched wind instruments (flute and oboe), judged too joyful, and kept only the basset horn, ancestor of the clarinet, with a more subdued tone. Grave and solemn, the orchestra is perfectly suited to a mass for the dead, and Mozart's writing is itself sober, even austere: no brilliant effects or great virtuoso solos.

The spectacular is elsewhere: the choir takes center stage and lets its power burst forth. In the Dies Irae, the moment of the Last Judgment, a formidable storm arises: the terrible calls of the choir represent sometimes the divine anger that falls on men, sometimes attempts to soften this anger, sometimes cries of terror... Everything trembles with anguish, fever and impatience. Mozart's ultimate composition touches the sublime.
