Requiem - Otto von Habsburg - Requiem und Kyrie (Michael Haydn) 

is and was

Gott erhalte unsere gutte Kaiser !

Yes he was and still delight's us!

Was it played with speakers or a live performance?

@@aus822 There was a live orchestra and choir inside the Church. It was broadcast outside to the thousands assembled via loudspeakers and giant video screens. The entire city of Vienna, as far as I could tell, was shut down for it.

@@jameslayne2985 would have been a sight to see

@@aus822 It certainly was. The only way I can describe it is that it felt like I had a glimpse of Christendom, before the modern age. For a moment, the old empire was there as real as the modern world. So glad I got to experience it.

i know I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?

@Kamdyn Kellen i use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

@Junior Castiel Definitely, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

@Junior Castiel thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !!

@Kamdyn Kellen No problem :)

Aber dem, mit dem Bart!

There are millions such compositions of the classical and romantic periods. There where a lot of competent compisers but no many exceptional ones.

I discovered Michael Haydn some years ago. I ask the same question. This mass is famous for its ‘walking’ rhythm.

@@myfairlady343 Not many as good as this one.

That very interesting

God rest his soul. This requiem iss so beautifull!! Many Greetings from Hellas!!

You can clearly hear that Mozart take some of the parts out for his own more famous Requiem. He and his father did also take appart at the first three performances of this Haydn requiem. Looks like Mozart himself was very impressed from this masterwork!

@@Pathy1 He got his father to send him the score.

This is how one burries an emporer. Period

That walking bass. Yes, it was used by several in that era.

Please cite your source as I cannot find any information confirming your claim.

I have also read a lot about the Habsburgs. I even had a little chat on Instagram with Ferdinand (the little kid at that time in this video who's now a racecar driver) and he seems very nice. My country was also under the Habsburg rule - the Spanish Habsburgs to be exact but that was a long time ago so sadly we didn't experience what you guys had.

you are absolutely true - Mozart was deeply influenced by all works of Michael Haydn (the idea of fugatos is invented by Michael Haydn)

Europe needs its royal families more than ever. And they need to take their roles and responsibilities very seriously and stop behaving like celebrities. (I understand that the heir to the Habsburg throne is a racing driver. He ought to grow up and take his heavy responsibilities with gravitas) They are the heirs to the true elite which preserve our marvellous Christian identity and are the guardians of our traditions. European monarchies must be restored. Modernist fake democracies have failed utterly and elevate ignorance, venality and crass stupidity. The likes of Macron, Merkel, Boris et al are pathetic, empty and shallow; mere political chancers and opportunists. No wonder Europe is in a mess.

@@jamesgibson2179 Boris Johnson is not in the same tradition as his European contemporaries.

@@gordonsmith8899 He’s become an authoritarian not connected to the people. He will not set us free. He has emasculated Parliament. He has allowed illegal immigration to surge ahead creating white flight to the countryside and to fuel ‘cancel culture’. (The C’s have a higher rating because Starmer’s infiltrated Labour is much, much worse). He awards contracts to the chumocracy, continues with Adonis’ HS2 gravy train to ruin our countryside, the planning ‘laws’ have become a spivs and speculators charter (he didn’t sack Jenrick over the Desmond scam), the town centres are becoming derelict, the music industry and theatres are decimated. Importantly, he sells arms to Sodding Arabia to bomb poor Yemen to smithereens and had not vocally objected to this genocide. And we really want to know what perfidy he’s involved with Biden over bombing Syria ! What’s not disgusting !

@@jamesgibson2179 1. He has delivered BREXIT as promised. 2. He has been called upon to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. Of course he's had to impose rules you silly man. 3. He has a majority in Parliament. 4. He has not "allowed" illegal immigration - he has been shackled by old laws, money-grubbing lawyers playing the system and the active support being given to traffickers by the French. 5. Ah, 'white flight' - yep - you've got a problem. I remember Blair and his open door policy Mr Gibson - you can't blame immigrants for responding. A new Immigration Act is long over-due. 6. Change and decay is the story of history - coach drivers, coaching inns and canals lost out when the railways arrived. Empty high streets aren't anything new. Bristol thrived but Chester declined when the Dee estuary silted up - change and decay. 7. Are things any different in continental Europe, or the rest of the world - are the theatres crammed full of free-spending patrons? 8. Are you referring the the Joe Biden who couldn't get up a flight of stairs? The Biden who doesn't attend press-conferences? The Biden who appears to prefer the EU to the UK?

what you mean?

One of the most poignant moments for me was when his coffin arrived at the monastery and when after each recitation of all his worldly ranks, the friar responded, we don't know him. Finally when asked who seeks to enter and the response is Otto von Habsburg, a poor sinful man, the friar lets him come in. Reading about the family and Archduke Otto's mother and father has given me a new appreciation for the family.

@Madonna Hood Genuine humility would result in the recitation of the array of titles l, which are nothing more than baubles - just plain Otto Hapsburg would do - or whatever.

@@a.t.c.3862 I think that is what the ceremony was about. Everything I have read about Otto and the few clips I have seen of him tell me he would have succeeded his father admirably.

catholic religion will rule the world✝

I doubt that.

@@madonnahood3381 well, I think the music IS marvelous!

@@renzo6490 Agree. Was watching the funeral of Otto von Habsburg on RU-vid this afternoon. The Austrians have it down. I would love to see a coronation Mass there.

Really? What about the events of the anointing of Jesus? All of it is to glorify him.

@@setonix9151 I doubt that Jesus cared about being glorified
