I think its a little more complicated than the way you described it.
The context of a piece of music is pretty important. The Requiem 
deals with (apart from the human condition) the problems of living
in Europe centuries ago: when a man could be killed for thinking
of being encased in a large chunk and hurling through the air at
a velocity twice the speed of sound.
