Mozart's Requiem in D minor (K. 626), composed in 1791, was his final work left unfinished at death. The "Dies Irae" movement sets the apocalyptic Latin sequence describing Judgment Day. The Requiem was completed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr, though Joseph Eybler (mentioned in description) also contributed to early drafts.
