Tonight was the first rehearsal of this season with my choir. We're singing this and Haydn's Nelson Mass at the end of March this year. I've always loved the Laudate Dominum, but I never realised it came from here.
+joarcokru Yes, absolutely true. When you come across one of Mozart's most sublime compositions it stops you in your tracks. Which serves to bring us to a special place -- one beyond time, beyond definable space.
I used to listen to these when I was 20 and still practicing with choirs. It filled me with sublime emotion then and it does again in these terrible times 50 years later! Especially "Laudate Dominum" with its lines "et veritas, veritas Domini manet in aeternum" brings me to tears. SO little is certain now that we must cling to the TRUTH! Thank you,Mozart!
god bless the genius that was mozart this is my first listening to this his requiem is mighty and the symphony 40 sublime i will definately find this on vinyl thanks for posting this and greetings to my fellow classical music lovers
Freimaurerei seiner Zeit war nicht die gleiche wie heute :) Wenn Mozart in Paris war, rezitierte er den Rosenkranz in der Kapelle Notre-Dame des Victoires...
How did it go? My school choir performed this seven years ago and I loved it. We weren't as good as the choir singing this version but I was still proud to be singing this magical music.
agree this however is art taken to a level by a master that those 3 you mentioned have not one hundredth of what mozart had even mozart is supposed to have said that he will give the world something worth listening to the he being another titan named beethoven imagine what beethoven would say about those you mentioned
While I don't believe in a divinity that churches profess to worship this makes me feel there is "something" out there that we humans can tap into. This is divine. Thank you Mozart.
There is something about music that helps people feel tap into emotions they may not feel otherwise. That's partly why most if not all religious organizations have some form of music involved in worship.
There must a slight misunderstanding here: churches do not worship, much rather profess to do so; the pious worship, the hypocrates profess do believe. Also, most likely, oeuvres like the one at hand are not divine but, surprisingly, human. Perhaps you might discover a liking for a widely negelected but essential spiritual entity: the Holy Spirit, who can be described as, well, inspiring. :-)
There is something out there Joseph, it's called God Almighty. You have a very special name, Joseph was one of the strongest, most faith-filled male figures in the Old Testament and in Bible as a whole - He never wavered from his faith, ideals, convictions even when the absolute worst and terrors hit him in his life. And he was bountifully rewarded for that w/ honor, position, title and an eventual blessed life.
Mozart for me is the most famous composer forever and these Vespers are the summumof his feelings for religious music, not only for Roman Catholics bur for the whole world.Especially Laudate Dominum has to be a prayer for everybody. Regards from The Netherlands. Jan Willem Steenman (s.s.t.t.)
Cuanto genio, cuanta maestría en el uso de cada uno de los ingredientes: voces, instrumentos, discurso musical, modulaciones, timbres, colores, melodías, armonías, cuanta juvenil vitalidad, ¡Es como si Mozart mismo nos bendijera! ¡Y quién no quisiera ser bendecido por el genio de Mozart!!!.
There is a wonderful balance here between the chorus and orchestra. The soloists are also well blended. It all adds up to a very satisfying musical and religious experience.
Ich habe Dixit, Laudate Pueri, Laudate Dominum und Magnificat mit meinem Schulchor gesungen, als ich 15 Jahre alt war (vor 7 Jahren) und kann es immer noch mitsingen. Liebe diese Stücke!
Worst than trolls...most are pompous baroque arses who can't seem to admit Mozart is the pinnacle of music on the whole. The sad part is they dislike every video about Mozart, but no one cares. Mozart is the musical Christ -Tchaikovsky.
