| Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum benedictus. Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis, gere curam mei finis. | When the damned are confounded, and doomed to flames of woe, call me among the blessed. I kneel with submissive heart, my contrition is like ashes, help me in my final condition. |

Curse you, Mozart, for giving the men all the fun
Where else but here? Some of these singers cannot even walk across the room yet they can sing this complex requiem! Some are real-live professionals (the kind that make money)! A few are like me, fresh and starry-eyed. And we all love music. However, Mozart needs to show some love to the altos. We're not just chord-finishers.
