Looks like this passes QPQ. One content nitpick I adjusted here and was reverted. I believe that somewhere in MOS parallel to WP:MOS#Titles of people we say that capitalization should only pertain to a particular work; if it is discussing a generic requiem ("a requiem"), then lowercase is appropriate. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
