This is probably going to sound like a rookie question, but I am indeed a rookie. I tried an FAQ, but struck out. I just got Twilight in Olympus, my 4th SX album I've acquired since July when I discovered the band. The band has slayed me daily. My query: The solo in Smoke and Mirrors...it is a shoutout to a strong classical theme that I cannot put my finger on. What's the piece? I figured out the classical references in "V" by myself, but I need help on this one. Is it another portion of Mozart's requiem? Gracias. Now, back to Twilight in Olympus...

Well, the slow interlude before the solo duels comes from (I believe) Bach's Mass in Bmin. Not too sure... there was a discussion about this on the board not too long ago.
This was a recent discussion, guess I should try the search feature next time. Kinda surprised to see that brought up. It is the Kyrie from Bach's Mass in Bm, thank you both. I was referring to the slow section preceding the keyboard/guitar dual...sweet.
