Malcolm, there are no words, nor notes, nor thought that can express your grief. I lost my partner of 23 years very unexpectedly a year ago March, he was 54. While the grief eases with time, it will not vanish. Music can amplify grief for some or give a transcendent escape from grief for others. Give yourself the time and space you need. Sadly we take our sorrow with us to our grave; our love and wisdom can be left with the living as her love was left with you.
Back about 15 years ago I was a young punk rocker. My academic supervisor dragged me out to a classical vocal concert. Honestly the soloist were amazing but not my cup of tea. Then they all came on stage to sing this. I tell you I literally melted, I had such a physical reaction to this, I could barely stand up afterwards. The chills on the major to minor changes just literally melts me. This is amazing.
Yes, and at the risk of sounding crude: that note that crescendos is truly a music climax that feels like a climax. In the most holistic and holy sense of the word. A release of self to God.
I'm coming late in life to this style, but love the work of Pat Metheny and Lyall Mays. When I hear this style, I can't help imposing in my imagination the complement of a jazz bass.
@@johnfresno8494 perhaps you'd explain, as if you're right millions have already been distracted. Unlikely that anything dark can resist the words and the sentiment of the above.
I,m listening to this with tears dimming my ability to type. I am 89 years 0ld and my first born son is taking his final breaths , I,m seeking comfort in these beautiful, divine pieces . He is a victim of FTD . Please pray for him. Thank you.
Praying now! I had to bury my little masterpiece. If angels can sing like this on earth, imagine the choir of angels that will pray for you! Jesus heal this family!
@@marymacdonald6807 Thank you for your kind words, it will be a year at the end of this month and I still hurt. At our Lord and savior bless you and you family.
I have listened to this 1000 times and will continue another 10,000. One of the most beautiful pieces of work. I love the strings version but those voices and the dissonance is so emotional. It raises and lowers my blood pressure at the same time. Gorgeous!
To me Adagio for strings evokes a somewhat sorrowful feeling. The choral version evokes a numinous and uplifting feeling. I think both are my favourite pieces of all time. So far...
Ce chant était la seule chose qui m'apaisait quand j'allais voir mon papa à l'hôpital, en 1998. Je rentrais à la maison, m'allongeais dans le salon, sans lumière, et ce beau chant me bercait, m'apaisait. Aujourd'hui, je viens de perdre un ami que j'ai accompagné 5 ans dans la maladie. Je n'ai pu lui dire au revoir, étant moi-même à l'hôpital. C'est encore cette musique qui m'accompagne et m'apaise. Merci. Alléluia !
Quelle forte y belle temoignage! Merci...Peut etre la raison que cette musique t'a apaisee est que ses vibrations s'etendent jusqu'aus cieux les plus lointains. Cette musique et voix humaines celestes touchent les esprits divins lointains et autours de nous. Quand tu papa mourut et toi dans l'hopital, vous etiez connectes tout de meme et vous le savez, parce que les emotions que ces sons sacres eveillent guerissesnt les blessures. Jesus a dit: plus ou moins: Vous qui souffrez, venez a moi et je vais vous soulager''. Maintenant, on doit tous ecouter cette musique parce que les temps qui s'annoncent seront plus que troublantes et ces voix continueront a nous transporter vers le Haut. Et ce Haut nous donnera la force a passer toutes les epreuves.
I've written instruction that the string version be played at my funeral. But I didn't know about this masterful choir production...THIS is what I want played so I'll be changing my instructions. This is just stunning. Much respect to Vlaams Radiokoor. Now I have to find it...hoping it's available.
@@f-xdemers2825dont you see how sad it is that you comment that? I wish you the best and hope, that you reflect on your words. Just because you don‘t feel God yet, doesn’t mean that He isnt with you.

@@jamesjohnson9996 Actually, it's a very worldly building in a very worldly neighbourhood. An art déco gem that resembles a cruise ship breaking into a city square. But great acoustics.
The first time I heard this I was driving on the New Jersey Turnpike. I was so awestruck I pulled over onto the shoulder to cry. It still moves me to tears.
I’m familiar with Barber’s Adagio For Strings but never heard Angus Dei . I was crying like a baby . Angelic Voices accompanied by Angelic Strings . There definitely has to be a synergy with a higher power when Barber and who created these vocals . Must be the Angels
Without wanting to sound a bit stupid, what is the difference between the two? I have heard Barber’s Adagio For Strings many times. @@tonycandela-eo3fb
bless all the good people who have left comments on this angel music, bless SAMUEL BARBER and bless our world , love and peace to all j Vincent Edwards

I sing in a choir in England. I have not heard a more perfect rendition of Barber's Agnus Dei. The phrasing, the dynamics, the harmonic blending, the breath control, everything about this performance was superb. I congratulate you on a most beautiful performance of a most beautiful piece of music. Prachtig!
I have listened to this probably 300 times in the last 5 years. It is unspeakably beautiful. It takes my breath away every time I hear it. I am not a religious person but if God gave angels a choir on earth they would kneel in admiration of this. I am lost and bewildered and sat in absolute awe by this performance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The song is indeed very beautiful, but the concept, the reality even more so. Just think, "Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world"! There is shining hope for each of us, thank you Jesus Christ!
I’m Japanese and Buddhist. I usually watch this video to heal my heart. This song consoles you no matter what you believe in faith. I hope everyone is in full of happiness and stay with your Gods. P.S. I was surprised to see so many responses to my comment when I revisited this video after a long time. I want to clarify that I am not in any way denying everyone's beliefs. Whether one believes in God or not, I believe that it is a freedom and right given to all people. To me, this song feels like one that heals the soul, transcending countries and beliefs. The world is currently experiencing wars, and it's very distressing, but I hope all of you reading this comment will find happiness. If you are in a difficult situation, I pray from a corner of Japan that you will be freed from it. With all my love, I wish for happiness for people all around the world.
This is by FAR the greatest piece of music ever composed. I close my eyes and I imagine hearing God's angels singing this as I'm slowly leaving this earthly body where I'm faced with the tunnel and light at the end. I have no fear but a unrecognizable peace. All my lifes memories are played at the sides of me one final time as I walk towards this this irresistible desire to walk faster to this light. I smile at the memories that had faded from my mind. The light grows closer and closer until I'm engulfed in perfect light, peace and love and my eyes focus on our risen Savior. He reaches out His hand for me and I am now home and I am truly truly loved. Eternity has just begun....
Not to take issue with your statement that Barber’s Agnus Dei (Adagio for Strings) is the greatest piece of music ever composed, because IMHO there are Many pieces that would qualify for possible inclusion in that list…. But here’s one you might not have heard that I PARTICULARLY LOVE. And there are others too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nn5ken3RJBo.html
Tied for "greatest" with Beethoven's 9th symphony, choral movement. --- IMO, it's the only piece of music (that I know of) that reveals resurrection. This one sure comes close. A peace beyond all comprehension. Dank u wel, Vlaams Radiokoor!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? ARE YOU SAYING THAT RAP CRAP IS NOT THE BEST MUSIC EVER WRITTTEN IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND? WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF DIVERSITY?????????????
Surprising? When you've lost all your hopes, faith in God yet when you hear this chants, choirs, hymns you can truly feel the holy spirit entering your cold heart giving you strength. May God watch over he childrens In the name of the father the son and Holy spirit amen.
Because the Holy Spirit is as He is, ' and blows where He will, non-church music occasionally achieves transcending divinity too.

What a beautiful religion we had. We can eat what we want, we can drink what we want. We just have to love God, Jesus (who takes away the sins of the world) and, above all, one another. So sad that we threw all this out of our lives and our society. Thank you for this heavenly performance. Pax vobiscum from Leuven, Belgium.
Erm we don't HAVE to love God at all. It's a choice. Personally, I'm a non-believer but I'm also a sacred choral fan purely because I love the harmonies. And no it's not "God speaking to me," it's a talented composer ;)
I have been listening to this for hours, sitting in spirit with my brother as he lays dying, on the other side of the country. I am there with him, can see and feel angels all around him, tenderly lifting him up, drawing him through these exquisite harmonies farther into radiance of the Divine, welcoming him home after a lifetime of suffering. Thank you for the beauty, energy and devotion you have made available in the world to everyone who finds their way to this video.
@@pollybarnes4703 He crossed the threshold at midnight. I am in the joy that comes with glimpses of the immense release, unbound light and joy that are forever his now, never to fade. Celebrating -- with all who knew and were privileged to love him -- the inordinate triumph of his life and soul. I am not sad; I need no condolences. I am happy for him. Any tears and sorrow come and go with a bittersweet awareness at the mystery of how all of that beauty stands in bold contrast, and yet is inextricably part of, the conundrum and sorrows of the human condition that we who are left behind still live at the effect of. He is in ecstasy beyond our imagining, free at last in the immense magnitude of his purified soul. Well done, Dearest Brother! What a triumph your life has been. We celebrate as you claim the radiance and lightness of being that is your soul, who you truly are and always were. As you move into endlessly deepening streams of Divine revelation and delight, we know you will be blessing us, guiding us, if we only hold our hearts open to you and the grace you seek to share. WE LOVE YOU. Go, Go, Go with all our love. Go freely into the great, welcoming light of your true home.
What a beautiful letter. , I hope you will find your own peace . this message was written on a Christmas tree card next to the spot where I was putting my card after my brother died " Even in times of unbearable struggle always remember you are not alone . We are all much more resilient than we believe we are "
It’s just beautiful, listening from New Zealand, God‘s blessing and peace to those people around the world that are crying in deep hurt, and pain The only real peace comes from God in our lives.✝️
Frankly the pain may be in almost all of us. Although I have faith in the beloved, loving, merciful Trinity, and hence the truth of the New Testament, I always found 1 John 5:19 a tough one. But how can I doubt the honesty of John, who knew the great joy and aid brought to us all by Jesus, yet still wrote what he wrote?
@@keplergso8369 Well, to me good and evil are not hypothetical or theoretical, they are real. And I accept the testimony of people in the Bible about God and Jesus as reliable. On the question of "angelic music" -- I was speaking quite literally; I have heard of near-death experiences which speak of angels singing in a way that there are very few or no pauses and the sound is rich beyond measure. I hope you can have an open mind about these things.
@@MrStiffie123456789 This is a man who wrote this music. Do you think he was a stupid guy, and that he was owned by a devil or a god when he composed it ? Are you crazy ?
@@MrStiffie123456789 Sorry, but I am fed up with gods, angels, evils, everywhere and about any subject, even music. If some gods or some evils decide for us and are the sources of our good or bad actions, or of human creativity, we are all puppets of obscure forces, you are right, no conversation is possible. Regards.
i hope this is what i hear as the Lord welcomes me into his kingdom and to be reunited, like so many of us hope for. If anyone else os struggling with grief, it does get better. hurts like heck, but we get through these things, us humans!! theres still joy & hope, if we can still find it, most days!!! 💯🙏❤️❤️🙏
💔 ❤ thank you I feel the same with the heavy burden of losing my partner after a 19 Year battle terminal illness in and out of remission. I know our Lord heals all souls and I accept that it takes time.
I'm Muslim and this song take me so far. I don't know how to explain my feelings but juste I feel like I'm safe and protected by God the one and only. In other way l feel like I'm flying like an angel in the sky directly to heaven. 😍😇

I recommend reading 'On Pain' by Carl Jung and 'A Confession' by Tolstoy. I started regaining myself as I learned the true meaning of "faith". Faith is much more than belief. Faith in God is the way to resurrect yourself.
Never be depressed even if you think you are. Seriously, I'll be here if you need help as it can be overcome. Chin up & smile 😊. You are going to have a great life😊. If nothing works, c one. Back. Never give in. Go on to the end & you will prevail. I'm not all doom & gloom God bless ya!
The second most beautiful sounding instrument which Our Good Lord , I believe, inspired to be made is the violin. The most beautiful instrument , the human voice , He made. AMDG
Actually this is originally written as an adagio for strings, not a song (although nothing can beat the human voice). Enjoy the instrumental piece here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WAoLJ8GbA4Y.html
Did anyone else's love for the original Homeworld game end up bringing them here all these years later? I had never heard Adagio For Strings before, and certainly not Agnes Dei set to it. Classical music was a big interest to me at the time, and this song has always moved me more than almost any other.
Kind of! Homeworld was one of those "Oh wow...!!" games for me that really shaped me in a way. It sounds kind of weird, but to me, that game is a piece of art, perfectly composed. And the music was a big part of it, because it gave space (the space) the theatrical partner to its breathtaking endlessness. This piece was the most stunning of all and at first I thought "what the fuck, somebody composed this for a video game and it's SO good!". Of course, I later found out that this wasn't the case, but it was the first classical music cd I ever bought :)
Latin Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. English Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Wenn wir jemanden verlieren, ist der wunderbarste Trost, dass dieser Mensch da sein und uns die Hand reichen wird, wenn wir gehen müssen. Dadurch nimmt uns der Tod die Angst und gibt uns die Hoffnung. Wir sind alle eine große Familie. Musik wie diese lässt uns das fühlen.. egal wo auf der Welt.
Listen by heart: The world may be perish, but the kingdom of God emerges through music and spiritual gifts. He is already here. The Lord will lead us through. Pray for wisdom and qualified spiritual leadership. Something is at the end of the beginning.
I'm in awe listening to this at my computer, I cannot imagine the feelings welling up in me if I were to have been in that hall. My parents never brought me to stuff like this but I will start going alone, this enriches a person's life, not the empty pop movies people spend money on nowadays. I want to feel lucky to be alive after a performance.
There's more my friend. Much more. Start exploring inspirational music. I was in choir for twenty years and learned many difficult pieces. But the Agnus was the ultimate.
Having been greatly moved by the kind words of many people far and wide, I should like to add some of mine: My Wife Denise spent most of her last year in a Care Home nearby, she was hit badly by Covid there a year last November. After lockdown in February last year she was isolated in a bedroom and from then I was unable to see or speak to her. Last November she contracted Covid there again and succumbed in just a few hours. All I ‘got back’ was her corpse in a coffin, and the same thing happened to many thousands in this Country. Before my life with Denise, which began in 1960 - we wed in 1966 - from 1947 I had a platonic friend, Carolyn, she was five years old and I wasn’t quite five! Carolyn passed away on the IOW a few weeks ago, and so ended my companionships with two of the loveliest Ladies imaginable, and they were close friends with each other. They were both cremated, so the greater proportion of them, just water, is up there somewhere in the clouds, and my philosophy is that when “Raindrops keep falling on my head”, it is the two of them saying “Hello”. When, in Churchill’s wartime words “In God’s Good Time” it is my time to “Slip The Surly Bonds of Earth”, words by Spitfire Pilot John Gillespie Magee Jnr., I will join my two Ladies, probably on a ‘High And Windy Hill’, then with them on each arm, stroll along an endless beautiful beach in Cornwall with its music of the sea and children playing, heading for a distant village bakery which produces perfect Cornish Pasties - Manna indeed! I have plenty to occupy my mind with a real prospect of longevity, and I subscribe to Tennyson’s “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”, however there is a constant need for ‘loss adjustment’. Accordingly, with the indulgence of you Mr. Choirmaster and ‘your’ illustrious Choir, every time I listen to their memorable rendition of Barber’s Classic, I like to think I can hear both my Ladies’ creditable soprano voices. Whilst Gielgud’s “This Imperfect World” in ‘The Scarlet and Black’ film apply particularly to today, I commend for you, dear Reader, these words in a poem by Alexander Pope “Hope springs eternal in the human breast”. And I have these words for my Ladies, wherever they are, by Hope himself : “ Thanks for the Memories”. And finally, at the end of Dicken’s classic ‘A Christmas Carol’, Tiny Tim’s words : “God Bless Us, Every One”.
By now you also know that you continue to say “Goodbye”. It happens unexpectedly: the line between a memory and a vision blurs and that awkward combination of love, sorrow, and joy takes control. It passes quickly. Once again you say goodbye. Music that we listened to together, such as this, sometimes creates that response. As a chorister, music that I sang and moved my partner, has become music that I feel I am singing to God and my partner in the same setting. As we sang the final “Jerusalem” in rehearsal of Faure’s Requiem (the at will make up the majority of our All Saint’s Day service), I said goodbye again..
One of the most complex professions in the world is a maestro that can put such a chor singing in different voices, with such harmony and soul... I am delighted !!!
Même si l’on ne croît pas en Dieu comment freiner une telle émotion en entendant un tel chant ! Il est si lumineux ! Merci à tous vous avez été sublimes❤️
John the Baptist spoke these words to the people when baptising Jezus ; behold the Lamb of God, that shall take away the sins of the World (Agnus Dei in Latin) (John 1: 29 ) The words sung are ; Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis ' 'Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the World, take mercy upon us' Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem' ' Lamb of God, who ..., grant us peace' Stay safe everyone. Wherever and whoever you are .... 🙏🏼
I first heard this watching the Viet Nam war movie “Platoon.” The tears just welled up, it touches your inner soul deeply. I still can’t listen to it without getting the same reaction. Music is so powerful.
C'est bien vrai ! ... Moi qui suis plutôt baroque ... cette pièce " moderne" :-) est merveilleuse ... Je peux écouter ça en boucle ... comme pour la 3ème Gnossienne d'Eric Satie ... tiens une autre oeuvre moderne :-) Je pense que la plus belle chose écoutable ( à part Bach 😁 ) est le Miserere d'Allegri ... J'écoute cette version 50 fois de suite et j'en ai mal tellement j'ai pleuré et que je n'ai plus de larmes ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H3v9unphfi0.html&ab_channel=TenebraeChoir
In the midst of this horrible and defining pandemic these strains bring hope and peace--of something beyond the horizon and all this distance and death. Something larger than ourselves--something quieting, the sound of a still small voice? Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
I just love this piece of music. It has to be one of my favourite classical pieces. I first heard this when seeing Oliver Stone’s film “Platoon” and thought it was so apt for the screen soundtrack. So much emotion and pathos was evoked in me when hearing this music in conjunction with screen shots as I am a Vietnam Vet.
This is the first time I've heard it sung. This video is astounding. I've always known it as 'Barber's Adagio for strings', and I first heard it when watching Platoon. I think it may have been used in the film The Killing Fields before Platoon, but I've never seen that film. Love from the UK. 👋❤️🇬🇧
I think the first time I heard it was in The Elephant Man, when Joseph Merrick ...I won't say. I had to leave the room to calm myself down. The combination of the film and the music was too much.

First Christmas without my mother who died in January and feeling really depressed, but while I can't seem to stop crying this song is in a way comforting. Thank you for posting this, you guys are amazing.
Brother or sister, keep on putting one foot in front of the other. I lost my mom in April, and there are no words to describe that pain. It's like an amputation - we can go on living, and we can live a happy and full life, but it will never be the same. If you'd like to talk more privately and just share stories about our moms because they were amazing women, let me know and I'll link my Facebook profile so you can message me. We don't deserve the women God puts in our lives, but boy am I thankful that God saw fit to bless me with my mother anyway.
The music is wonderful and you are a choir of angels. Every time I'm at the pc, I listen to you: thanks for the emotions you give me. Greetings from Italy.
God so loved the world . . . Thank you Blessed Trinity for what you have given, do give and will give to our longing souls. Jesus, help us to follow thy Way.
Difficult to find the right words for this performance of Barber's Agnus Dei. Marvelous. Sublime. Serene. Truly legato. Suave, polished, elegant, and lovely.
Je ne peux m'empêcher de repenser à la première fois que j'ai entendu cette pièce. C'était, comme pour un bon nombre de personnes de ma génération sans doute, lors de la sortie sur les écrans de "Platoon" d'Oliver Stone. J'avais 16 ans, et sans parler du film lui-même, déjà tragique et déchirant, je garde encore intacte l'émotion pure et instantanée que j'ai ressentie à sa première écoute, dès la séquence d'ouverture du film. Bien sûr, c'était une version synthétique, rejouée et enregistrée avec un clavier, mais déjà, la partition me frappait au cœur sans que je sache vraiment pourquoi ni comment l'expliquer. Quelques années plus tard, je découvrais bien sûr le chœur initialement prévu, ce qui décupla mon ressenti émotionnel, en particulier lorsque je la vis et entendit interprétée en live. Mais ce n'est que lorsque j'eus atteint une certaine maturité après avoir embrassé une carrière de musicien professionnel que j'en saisis la véritable teneur. Je compris alors pourquoi adolescent j'avais été tant bouleversé par elle. Depuis, systématiquement, j'ai toujours veillé à retrouver ce sentiment brut, vierge de toute connaissance, de toute analyse, de toute pensée, lorsque j'écoute un morceau de musique pour la toute première fois. Je dois cet automatisme à M. Samuel Barber, auquel je veux rendre hommage ici par cet humble commentaire. Bravo au Vlaams Radio Koor et à M. Marcus Creed, son chef de chœur pour cette magnifique interprétation, ainsi qu'aux techniciens son qui ont fait un remarquable travail de captation et de mixage.
We are very sorry for your loss, Marco. It is humbling and profoundly moving to know that our recording could bring you and your loved ones consolation.
How dare you have the arrogance to state that as if it is the truth. Not one sane person should have the audacity to say that. God is a belief not a truth.
@@davids4313 lol God is real, too bad you won't acknowledge Him or maybe you were being sarcastic? I don't know, but I do know God is real, Jesus is real, Satan is real, good and evil are real, it's not up to interpretations or subjectivity.
I have listened this probably a hundred times. I will keep on listening. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The choir members all put their heart into this. Thanks for putting this on youTube.
This is easily the most haunting and beautiful choral arrangement I’ve ever heard. Thank you God for giving me good ears to hear this masterpiece with!
At 90 years of age, I am still moved by the sound of God's words being sung to us by the human voice. I cry many tears for my voice can no longer lift itself to praise my God. How sad it is to not be able to sing anymore because of age. Oh dear God, forgive me.
To the ears of God all voices are beautiful, I am sure, and all voices are faltering croaks of frogs. I take comfort in knowing that the hand that made the croaking of frogs and loves them, also made me and my voice. The earnest love in our hearts is the true beauty. I hope that you find ways to still give the wisdom and love from your years to others, and that others can feel the glowing eternal youth of your beautiful heart when they know you.

The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, of and in human beings, while Jesus is the Redeemer of human beings who walked on the planet His Father made ready for us, and myriad other living things. Our world has been sullied by our pacts with darkness, but still it is full of signs and wonders beyond any compare...
