A requiem is a piece of music, often sung by a choir, written to remember and honor someone who has died - it was originally part of a Catholic funeral service. People also use the word more loosely for anything that marks or mourns the end of something, like 'a requiem for the old neighborhood' after it gets torn down.
安魂曲、追悼曲
組成From the Latin word requiem, meaning 'rest' - from the opening words of the old funeral Mass, 'grant them eternal rest.'
