Lacrymosa (song)
"Lacrymosa" is a song recorded by American rock band Evanescence for their second studio album, ''The Open Door'' (2006). The song was composed by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo and produced by Dave Fortman. "Lacrymosa" incorporates the ''Lacrimosa'' sequence from Mozart's ''Requiem'' (1791) throughout the song and Lee said that its main inspiration is the film ''Amadeus''. The song is influenced by genres such as alternative metal, gothic rock, and post-grunge. Set in slow tempo, it was originally written in the key of D minor but Lee and Balsamo transposed it into E minor.
The song was praised as one of the best songs on ''The Open Door'' by critics, who particularly complimented the backing choir. According to Lee, "Lacrymosa" was originally written for the soundtrack of the movie ''The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', but was not included because of its dark sound. The producers of ''Narnia'', however, rebutted her claim, stating this information was "news to them" and that no Evanescence music had been planned for inclusion in the soundtrack. The song was part of the setlist during their The Open Door Tour.
== Background and recording ==
"Lacrymosa" was written by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo and produced by Dave Fortman.〔 David Campbell, who has previously arranged music for the band and worked with them at the ''Billboard'' Music Awards, led a 22-piece orchestra for the song. The Millennium Choir performed the ''Lacrimosa'' sequence ("Lacrimosa dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen.") and backing vocals throughout the song.〔 Lee, the orchestra and choir recorded the song at a chapel in Seattle, Washington.〔〔 In a number of interviews, Lee revealed that everyone asked about a collaboration between her and Mozart.〔 She further stated that she always wanted to make ''Lacrimosa'' from Mozart's ''Requiem'' a metal song, later adding that ''The Open Door'' was "the time for that, for trying things I hadn't been brave enough to try before."〔 In an interview with VH1 News, Lee further explained the inspiration behind the song
"I saw ''Amadeus'' when I was nine years old and fell in love with Mozart. The part of Mozart's ''Requiem'' called "Lacyrmosa" is my favorite piece of music ever. I always wished we could cover it, but with programming and guitars and make it cool. It's our moment to try all the things I wanted to and couldn't, so I started messing with it in Protools. Terry wrote some riffs and turned it into this awesome metal epic."〔
