Lacrimosa


"Lacrimosa" is a song by the Japanese music group Kalafina, and it is performed in the original key. The song was composed by Yuki Kajiura and is featured on their second studio album, "Red Moon," released in 2010. Kalafina, initially formed as a fictional singing group for the anime series "Kara no Kyokai," became a real trio consisting of vocalists Wakana Otaki, Keiko Kubota, and Hikaru Masai in 2008. "Lacrimosa" serves as the ending theme song for the second season of the anime series "Black Butler." Some interesting trivia about the song is that "Lacrimosa" is a Latin term meaning "weeping" or "tearful," and the melody incorporates a blend of haunting vocals, orchestral arrangements, and powerful harmonies.
