The Requiem Played At The Vice President's Funeral ...


... is absolutely BORING--definitely not as stirring as Mozart's.
Please tell me which Requiem it is so I can avoid it for the rest of my life--and my death as well, for that matter.

It is the OP 48 Requiem by Gabriel Fauré. What you're hearing in the movie is only the last few minutes of the final track (In Paradisum) of the requiem. The entire requiem is actually very stirring and musically beautiful and could hardly be considered boring. If you hear the entire work, you'll see that the final movement falls right in place and is entirely in context of the entire musical work.

Thanks; I will give it a listen.
