Mozart’s Requiem is my favorite piece of classical music, and his Lacrimosa is heart-wrenchingly beautiful. Thank you for this link, I bookmarked it.

I only needed to hear two chords to identify the Lacrimosa from Mozart’s Requiem. It was the last thing he wrote during his final illness. He got as far as measure eight (homo reus), and then put his pen down forever. So sad. The work was finished by his associate Sussmayre. This is not really a liturgical requiem since it is too long for practical use.
Richard Cardinal Cushing did celebrate a memorial requiem Mass for the late President Kennedy at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston on January 19, 1964, and the Mozart Requiem was sung. It was the first time this Requiem had every been used liturgically in the United States. I remember that it created quite a stir.
Like the music of Bach, the music of Mozart should be used as a proof of the existence of God!

In the Ordinary Form, it is a tad too long. But in the Extraordinary Form, it is the perfect length, as evidenced here.

I wouldn’t really say it’s the “perfect length,” and I’ve been to more than one Mass in which Mozart’s Requiem was used. Actually, it delays the liturgical action by about 20 minutes during which the priest must basically twiddle his thumbs, and it strongly tends to turn the whole Mass into a concert (and is usually advertised that way), all in violation of nos. 22 and 23 of Tra le sollecitudini.
Beautiful music, though.

What I meant was that the EF is more suited for its use. For example, the two–movement Sanctus and Benedictus could be used as intended, during the Canon.
