Sussmayer Requiem

''This article refers to the Requiem that F. X. Sussmayer wrote. For his completion of the Mozart Requiem in D Minor, see Mozart Requiem Completions.''

A student and friend of Mozart, Franz Xaver Sussmayer (also spelled Sussmayr) wrote a requiem of his own nearly five years before beginning work on Mozart's Requiem in D Minor in 1791. His work is known as "Ein Deutsches Requiem", and instead of the Latin Text of the Mass, it uses German verses from the Bible.
