The filmmakers often used music with text that could be interpreted as referential to the pathos of the story, and several times in Latin. One instance is where Mozart's coffin is being carried out of the church and dumped into the pauper's grave. The music is the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem mass as the choir sings "Lacrimosa dies illa,/ Qua resurget ex favilla/ Judicandus homo reus./ Huic ergo parce, Deus:/ Pie Jesu Domine:/ Dona eis requiem. Amen," which translates as "That day is one of weeping,/ on which shall rise again from the ashes/ the guilty man, to be judged./ Therefore spare this one, O God,/ merciful Lord Jesus:/ Give them rest. Amen."
