'''''Requiem for My Friend''''' is a major and the first non-film musical work composed by [[Zbigniew Preisner]]. The composition was meant to honour the composer's late friend, the director [[Krzysztof Kieślowski]], with whom he collaborated while working on a number of films, including the famous [[Three Colours trilogy|''Three Colours'' trilogy]]. The album was released in 1998, although some parts of the work must have been ready upon [[Krzysztof Kieślowski|Kieślowski]]'s passing in 1996, as Preisner asserted in an interview that "the Requiem had accompanied Krzysztof in his last journey".
