@@kevin___My g you're comparing songs vs music. nah I don't think people will remember a song in 200 years from now but I'm sure classical music will still be streamed/played for many generations to come. Do you even remember sea shanties? The songs from the 1950s? 1900s? They are more recent than classical music yet you don't hear them as much. Modern songs are just not as iconic as classical music
"On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse. Bassoons and basset horns, like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe. A single note, hanging there, unwavering...his was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God." ~ Antonio Salieri reflecting upon a Mozart score - from the film "Amadeus" (1984) ~
One of the best movies ever made! Great monologues and fantastic atmosphere. Not very historically accurate, but riveting nonetheless. My favorite part is the _Il Commandatore_ scene, both for the performance and for Salieri’s gripping commentary on it.
@@stephenfitzgerald9769 The problem with that movie, and every other movie ever made about actual historical figures and events, is that THEIR LIVES WERE IN FACT MUCH MORE INTERESTING, COMPLEX, SCARY AND DRAMATIC!!!!!
When I was a kid, I was really into classical music, but it was hard to listen to it before the internet when cd's were expensive. So keep me off the radio, listening to NPR late late late at night, my parents bought me a cd player and a bunch of classical cd's for xmas one year. The first time I heard this song, I was in bed, the lights were out, and it scared the absolute hell out of me. It was beautiful, but in a way my stupid hick kid brain wasn't prepared for, and I hid under the blanket.
We’re playing strahd and a while back my party got downed by vampire spawns at lvl 4. There was 4 left not even bloodied and my fighter Maichen was the last of us standing. Those vampires fell that day ✊🏻

Retribution. The translation is: When from the ashes shall rise, A guilty man to be judged. Lord, have mercy on him. Gentle Lord Jesus, grant them eternal rest. Amen
Words can not fully contain the beauty of this version of Lacrimosa. I caught myself holding my breath, so I could listen more fully. I wanted to hear this live in person.This is one of my favorite pieces of Mozart, you did it justice. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I studied at the conservatory, I was the smallest in my class and in the study center, the first time I went to see a live performance it was a choir with a wonderful piano, I will never forget my love for Mozart from that day it began to grow and grow.
This is not death,but ascension. I've never heard something so epic. I mean,I love classical scores,but this is an eargasm. A true masterful contribution to music. Thank you
I was thing thinking Lacrimosa was already pretty "dark".... Amadeus was an excellent film btw; if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it! It's what really opened my eyes (ears) to classical music when i was a kid. (Yeah, I'm getting old... Ha!)
Lacrimosa dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall arise The guilty man to be judged; Therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord Jesus, Grant them eternal rest. Amen.
My mother (who really love Classical music) used to ask me why I listened to funeral music. Tchaikovsky's 6th, Verdi's. Dies Aria, the Largo from Xerxes, Berlioz's Requiem--my heart still soars in memory of those conversations about music. She once said no one was writing poetry any more--I played A Child Arrived Just the Other Day . . . Self Correct: Cat's Cradle.
The melancholy stuff is deep. It connects us to the core of….. something. Listen to people who have near-death experiences where they describe feeling immense depth, love, awareness beyond the physical. People use meditation, chants, music, drugs, to get close to this feeling we are all attracted to on some level. Music brings us towards it. At least this stuff does.
In my opinion, melancholy, and the feeling of death, is the deepest emotion that one can feel. Just read some Charles Baudelaire. "Meeseemeth--as to these monotonous blows I sway, They nail for one a coffin lid, or sound a knell-- For whom? Autumn now--and summer yesterday! This strange mysterious noise betokens a farewell." It is better in french though
Oh wow, one of my very favourite pieces of music and you have made it even more breathtaking! The artwork is absolutely beautiful, altogether stunning, thank you 🏆🥇🥰
Like something out of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, holy crap! Really, most of the more modern Castlevania games this would work way to well. Let's see, Dracula's Boss fight, or Countess Bathory boss fight. Phew
Saw the title and thought of Seo Moon-jo at once (this timeless piece is used to great effect in the third episode of Strangers from Hell, just as the serial killer works on his "art"). This edit is beautiful.
Contexte : (Le jour du jugement dernier avec des larmes et des supplications pour le repos des âmes.) Lacrimosa Jour de larmes, ce jour-là, où ressuscitera des cendres le coupable pour être jugé. Ô ce jour de larmes, ce jour-là. Pardonne-leur, mon Dieu, Seigneur, donne-leur le repos. Amen.
I owe my love of classical music to a rabbit! My introduction to classical music was Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny. Love Wagner to this day! What's Opera Doc?
"Mournful that day When from the dust shall rise Guilty man to be judged. Therefore spare him, O God. Merciful Jesu, Lord Grant them rest." How is this NOT dark... Is there a peppy version out there?
I've sung this with my Master Chorale many many times with an orchestra. So while the echoes and uneven drawn out parts in each ear make it different, it still sounds beautiful. But you've also drowned out some of the choral harmonies with those changes...
The dark cadence added to this piece fills in a gap that was left by Mozart. The piece was a bit thin originally. I do think the volume of the added instrumentation needs to go down a notch or two so as not to drown out the vocals. Otherwise bravo
