At the end of _Casino_, where Robert Deniro is describing what happened to Vegas after the mob got squooshed and the place became an adult Disneyland, financed by junk bonds, there is a classical piece in the soundtrack, and I think it is a Mozart mass. Am I right, and if so, can anyone tell me what it is?

I heard it this evening on KUSC during their pledge drive but Jim Svedja did not back-announce it

It’s a part of the St. Matthews Passion, by JS Bach.
