A requiem is a mass for dead people. The requiem in music is music made for such a mass. Those musical requiems are all based on the same gregorian choral. It does not really have to do anything with the bible, more with churches and the culture around it. "The Requiem Mass is notable for the large number of musical compositions that it has inspired" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem
