  • I like that there's no music. It's all just voices. I first heard of the "Dies Irae" in Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame," during the final struggle on the cathedral.

  • Halo theme song ?

  • @tonyblackops Nah, same kind of music though.

  • what font did you use? it's amazing

  • We sang this for our choir concert, but we sang the faster version lol. It sounded so pretty but reading the translation was kind of scary but not at the same time.

  • Like if you think The Undertaker shoud use this when he returns.

  • Sounds real good.

  • This is beautiful! Go Latin!

  • christfags >_>

  • @stefmor90 bieber fan

  • @TaiBelenus Aw shucks, that is nasty! You really showed that awful bully!

  • @TaiBelenus YOU!? cannot be ._.

  • Well I was able to do the "Dies Irae Dies Illa" part but after that I'm not used to the length of the sounds. But with some time I will be! My college music professor showed me this. I love you prof! Platonically of course. You're epic!

  • i wanna hear chrispen glover hum the whole song ... you only hear 6 hum a bit

  • And to think that the Roman Catholic Church abandoned this music for those "Glory and Praise" guitar hymns! Ugh!

  • @pipey61 This partising Catholic strongly agrees.

  • @pipey61 I thought it was just baptist, methodist and some other churches. If that's true, smh.

  • what language is it.?

  • @ManolisLitsiChania Latin.

    

  • Sounds a little better when a baritone sings. ( Says the baritone on the page.)

  • Agnostic, and I still like this :D

  • @BrBoomr im the antichrist and even i love it

  • my religion teacher showed me this :D

  • First heard this done as an orchestral version as the main theme for the 1977 Satanic car movie "The Car." Excellent piece of music, with or without the chanting.

  • This makes me wanna smite some sinners and I am a godamn atheist badass

  • everyone here is bunch of brainwashed idiots lol

  • @TheMightyWet Lol, no. People commenting on this video are simply aware of good music and where to find it.

    Besides, being religious doesn't necessarily mean that someone is an idiot.

  • @Hundrings Agreed. 

  • O quam stulti homines qui non crediunt in Deum!!!!!!

  • How did they keep it from the 1400's, i mean, i found some thing from Beethowen, i think it was Fur Elise, and it says there it's original Beethowen's, how did they record it in first place and then saved it until this time, this one also, i mean, how did they keep this one up until now and even recorded it?

  • do you know where i can find a partiture of this haunting chant?

  • Latin is such a powerful and yet beautiful language. What a shame that it has no native speakers nowadays.

  • @ZyklonCable The natives in Vatican city speak pure latin..

  • @ItalianBlackheart123

    lol no... because their mother tounge is mostly italian or other languages. Latin is considered a dead language BECAUSE there are no people on earth anymore who speak it as a mother tounge.

  • @ZyklonCable Hebrew was considered a dead language, yet there are attempts going on to revive it. ZOMBIE LANGUAGE!

  • @ItalianBlackheart123 that doesn't make sence.Vatican City is an independent country and they still speak italian lol

  • @ZyklonCable Yea, it is a smart, technological language, it is also the philosophy language, it really is beautiful, shame i don't take to much of seriousness in learning the rules and the grammar for it in school even tough i can. :)

  • @Farisbuk

    well the romans didnt even had that much philosophers. The greeks and the germans and maybe the french were the people with the most philosophers, and greek of course was the intellectual language in the roman empire. So latin wasn't really "the language of philosophy" due to the fact that greek already was :)

  • @ZyklonCable I meant life philosophy, it had some of the philosophers even tough not much, i meant diferently, i did say philosophy since there were not much philosophers, but few of them were more known that alot of the greek or german, well, greeks, germans i don't want to discuss, but even some of them. I don't want to argue, i think i explained it to you even tough you knew what i was trying to say.

  • Quid Cogitare "Dies Irae"?

  • @DwayneRydell

    ego, quam multi alii humani in terra nostra.

  • I EFFIN HATE ADVERTS THAT RUIN VIDEO WATCHING TIME.

    

  • Liber scriptus proferetur,

    In quo totum continetur,

    Unde mundus iudicetur !

  • This sounds so beautiful yet so creepy at the same time, probably because it's about the day of judgement...

  • @animeking1357

    is it the day when Republicans and Democrats sit down and have jaffa cakes?

  • @y512516 lol XD

  • Quite good.

  • ...

  • I just finished reading Canticle for Liebowitz and couldn't help but come straight to this song. If they ever make it into a movie, they should play this song as Asia and the Atlantic Coalition destroy the world, and end with the monk proclaiming, "Sic Tranist Mundi."

  • Please stop call it SONG...I can't hear this word anymore! It's not a song. It's a gregorian sequence, a song is something different, a precise musical form

  • @berenJRRT ummm this is NOT gregorian! it has three parts in one sections breaking the one voice rule

  • Humano, demasiado humano. Forever.

  • Always when I hear this song I know I am not alone here...God follow me everywhere.

  • "The smell of meat. Cooking.

    ...I thanked the Lord... I thanked the Lord..."

  • @MrSamWhitemoon and da lord will panzertank ya, bitch. bang bang bang.

  • So haunting... An amazing piece of art

  • IT WAS GOD!!

    

  • I don't give a rats f*** about your religion I just like this song.

  • Next time im flamed for being a nihilist im going to point out this bit of christian work

  • @fezbang666 this song doesnt prove the existence of god.also not an avast amount of FAITH to any lie or story can be considered as a fact and a proven one also.this muci is nice and we MUST judge it from the perspective of art and music.not use the music trying to justify our imaginary pshyckological nonsenses saying ''god exists''

  • this melody is so sad and so beautiful!

  • My Bands Marching Show is Based on this

  • la morte non è la fine .. è solo un cambiamento dimensionale

  • I want to see Islamic Sufis whirling atop Mandalas drawn by Buddhist Monks providing a baseline in the background, with Orthodox Nuns aplenty providing background vocals and Hebrew Rabbis tossing confetti whilst neopagans and druids celebrate a mummers dance in and out side a gigantic French Cathedral to this music, whilst vigilant Sikhs patrol its courtyard.

  • @jdavz322 that's one insane comment

  • @qdpqipqbp

    lol! Thanks, I think :D If you want a real sojourn into insanity, look u Die Form's "Cantique", its a rendition of a pair of verses from this beautiful piece, done in a very "Goth" style...provocative, eerie, haunting...There's also "Bereite Dir Jesu noch itzo die Bahn (Herz und Mund)" by the same band (Die Form). Sort of a "Neoclassical" take on Bach. Her voice is mighty, though!

  • meaning of this song?

  • @6digit

    en . wikipedia . org / wik i / Dies_Irae

  • @6digit Dies Irae. It means Day of Judgment. It was part of the Latin Requiem Mass to remind people that death is the final judgment where mercy cannot be obtained by the dead themselves any longer. Their life is over and only the living can offer prayers for them. It was taken out of the Vatican II missals in 1970 as a mandatory requiem burial hymn but it's still sung as a hymn on occasion (by monks, etc.) and still remains in the Latin Requiem Rite.

  • I've noticed the melody of this Dies Irae quoted in a few other pieces, and it's good finally to find out where it came from. It's also interesting how much of the text either isn't included in many settings of the Requiem mass or is split off into different movements.

  • Gregorian chants are pretty much the only thing that makes me doubt my agnostic position. Just by listening to this I can feel myself full of higher feelings. Nothing gets me more in the mood for reading and overall stop wasting time than this.

  • Vielen, vielen Dank!

    Thank you so much!

  • Very nice.

  • @AtomicTroll Plus, an argument lots of people uses is "God's Anger and Revenge"... that term isn't even used in the new testament... they speak of FEAR of God, but the word FEAR had many MANY meanings in hebrew/aramew. Fear ocould be translated as respect... you should fear your teachers and fear your parents = fear of huring their feelings/dissapointing them... Not fearing their anger

  • this music actually brought tears to my eyes even thought I can't understand it, its just too beautiful

  • @AtomicTroll As an agnostic atheist it pleases me to see someone of faith practicing what they preach. I don't hate on any who have a religion, only when it impacts other lives negatively, and you certainly do not represent such actions. God speed.

  • Magnificent...

  • Apenas humano. Criação do homem, por isso maravilhoso

  • @ FelixFLHS Pie Jesu Domine *thud*, dona eis requiem *thud* :P

  • Im not Catholic but this is great, been thinking on converting over to the RC Church and it's faith, God Bless all.

  • @lippertism being a catholic will move you one step closer to our lord my friend, long live God

  • MY SOUL IS BURNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm not christian, but I find this kind of song beautiful

  • this is depressing.

  • @slputt Dies Irea means Day of Wrath in english, it was sung in the chruch when someone had a funeral, its the most famous funeral song ever. the lyrics in english are even more depressing but beautiful, sorry

  • @666ninetails Oh yea that ok, In my bible intro it mentions this song, athough depressing, it's quite ineresting,

  • Works nice for Easter. Rachmaninoff used this extensively, as you well know. This is a beautiful, not despairing, version for choir. Excellent!

    Dominus Vobiscum!

  • rex tremendae majestatis,qui salvandus salvasgratis (W.A.Mozart),Requiem,

  • this song was used in disneys hunchback of notre dame.

  • @snatchX626 no it was not ...

  • Pie Jesu domine, Dona eis requiem...

    Amen.

  • lÕl_Í_fÈËl_so_lÓÑèlý_t0Dày

  • @CainMartyr

    If you're going to hate on a religion, review your own.

  • This song is soo fun to sing to. We're singing it in my Choir class and we are rockin' it. :)

  • I'm digging on them ablative absolutes at 4:51.

  • Ah the Dies Irae!! Can this be sung apart from 2nd November and apart from the funeral of a VIP? It is a tremendous shame how we have discarded this great poem which has so much meaning, if they hate the Latin they could at least have it sung in English....but I guess we are to "Modern" and too "advanced" to recite this ancient hymn...pity.

  • Dio nell`alto dei cieli perdona noi granelli di sabbia!

  • Amen to all thoes who gave there lives for the cross over the years gone bye...

  • I'm not Catholic, but the song makes me think about my own end.

  • @VladiSSius Catholic here. They say to think on death and to think on it often, you never know when the Lord might call you to His rest. Do good by your fellow man and trust in Christ, do that, and you'll have nothing to fear of death.

  • @VladiSSius That's just a proof that it is a "good" music. Music which accents text in such a manner that at the end you don't need to understand or know the text at all but you will still understand intention of the piece. I really like it a lot.

  • i listen to metalcore, heavy metal and folk metal, but, this is so fantastic!

  • @Mydlert same here! i like listening to angry, screamo songs. but there are times where i need to listen to something more soft and peaceful to make me feel better. gospel like this really helps with my anxiety i love these monk chants. :)

  • @thiskiddTRACY lucky u, i wish i was in ur music class, i love this piece

  • @thiskiddTRACY Heretic...

  • What an absolutely gorgeous piece of music.

  • @AliSkahir

    What font do you use?

    It seems to use the insular g, but no r rotunda nor long s.

  • beautiful, may God's blessings be upon all Catholics to keep us unbreakable...from those who oppose us externally and from those who join our ranks to corrupt us from within.

  • @LFTemplar Amen!

  • From the Book of the Prophet Zephaniah; first chapter: The Day of the Lord

  • We sung this song in choir but we sung it so differently and beautiful.

  • Why can't you just enjoy the beautiful music? Stop arguing about christianity!

  • @savvi91 actually this is much more than Christian song... Dies Irae is the song of the deads... Of course, if you put it in its era (around 800-1000 A.C) all music was controlled by monks... But still, it is more like the final respect to a loved one...

  • @savvi91 Amen to that!

  • mihi nomen est ryan, et mihi lavinium est mala.

  • This is Cristobal de Morales' version

  • is it in hebrew?

  • @mysteryman537 Its latin

  • The movie Zeitgeist will test your faith

  • @orsoisthebest the facts on the movie Zeitgeist will only pose a test of faith to one who is just as sheep-minded as the activists and conspiracy theorists who created the movie.

  • Comment removed

  • 23 people dont know their born! may the holy cross guide the none belivers to the true CHRISTIAN heaven...

  • @StoneAngel123 Some quality trolling there! :D

  • @Jazalicious yp, some true quality christian trollin, XD

  • @StoneAngel123 religion sucks D:

    

  • @DarthMastro look friend, is it that it is too much to go to church and pray and all the extra, but u belive in god, if so then you should join my new faith Dimensionism, branch off christianity, but mixed wiv science and the real world no praying, no church, just beliving, or are you an ignerant athiest

  • @StoneAngel123 I believe in men who can do the right thing by their own choice, not in those who live in fear of what "God" could make them suffer after life because they were "naughty, naughty boys"

  • @DarthMastro instead of offending me and being a dick go back 2 ur bedroom if u have 1 and thinik about how 2 adress people of faith, also while im on it why offend religion if u listen to it on here, no point, that would be like me saying i hated jews then listenin 2 hebrew music, no point

  • @StoneAngel123 mmmm. could it be that I simply like the music part and I don't give a f**k about the lyrics?

    think about it, maybe you can get it

  • @DarthMastro Get off the video and go elsewhere. Deliberately kicking up a fuss about religion on a RELIGIOUS video just shows your lack of respect and reverence. Go find a fight elsewhere.

  • @assasincomedy exactly! I don't respect in the slightest people who do not respect themselves first!

    Why should I, if you do not?

  • @DarthMastro This is exactly what I mean.

  • @assasincomedy and proud of it

  • @DarthMastro Ironically the concept of free will comes from the Bible anyway. So regardless of Milton's phrase " 'Tis better to reign in hell then to serve in heaven" the bible does invoke that. So to do good by your own will and not because of the fear of God makes you more Christian than those who fear him.

  • @NeverAloneForever @NeverAloneForever That is not what Christianity implies and thereby does not make you more 'christian'. The essence of christianity is giving up one's free will and to abide by God's will. God gently imposes his will if you convert and seek him. I'd describe it as developing a second consciousness that does not abide by your moral standards and does battle with your individual consciousness over which morals are the ones that transpire the drive of mortality.

  • @Jalethon And do not forget that the 'fear of God' is one of the central themes of the bible, and 'fear' in modern language should be interpreted as 'respect' or more accurately, veneration or reverence.

  • @Jalethon I can understand that. It's just that I've been told it's about being good with one's own will. Goodness comes from within. I thought the concept of free will came from the bible. Then again, Christ did preach that one should make a sort of sacrifice to ones urges of sins or something along those lines. So I guess you might be right.

  • @NeverAloneForever of course, you could be right if I believed in God's existence....

  • @DarthMastro The point I made exactly. Neither do I.

  • @StoneAngel123 and what's more, I think that men should find the strenght they need inside themselves, not in hollow prayers and emptier skies.

    Turning to God (or Zeus, Ade, Thor, chose yours) is a mighty display of weakness, lack of confidence and ignorance

  • @DarthMastro Haha that is exactly the teachings of Satan, Set, Cronos, Loki, what may you. Read about the temptation of Christ in the desert. Know that if you do not subscribe to a teaching you are indirectly influenced by another, knowingly or not. All religions have the same basic root, probably from Sumeria or prior, which is the universal truth.

  • Simply beautiful, oh holy lord, keep christianity alive forever

  • @StoneAngel123 is it a threat? D:

  • infirma quadam die resurget et erit dies irae

  • what font is that?

    

  • @chincho9orochi looks like old english font

  • Pie Jesu Domine,dona eis requiem. Amen.

  • @FelixFLHS Iesus Hominem Salvator est!

  • @FelixFLHS Whack!

  • @FelixFLHS *whack* Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem... *whack*

  • How many humans have died in our existence?

    How many of them have risen from the dead?

  • @webstation4

    One, so far. Many more to come.

  • @webstation4 and, more important, how many men died in the name of a God who don't give a f**k about mankind?

  • hear can you tell me where to find that song to download it

    

  • @Wolfenschanzen Then who will judge you? All believe in justice. For there to be justice there must be a judge. "Rex Tremandae Majestatis salvas gratis."

  • @VirgilDanteCervantes you know there are courts in every city, right?

    You know... those biiiiiiig buildings where trials are made and people are sent to jaill?

    What other justice do you want? Isn't it enough for you?

  • It speaks of the final judgement soon to come. How sad to those who do not believe, in the Almighty One, our Lord God Jesus Christ. :o( I pray for you....offer my daily suffering too you. That you and all may share, in total an eternal life. With He who has risen, from the dead. We adore you oh Christ and praise you, by your suffering, death and resurection you have redeemed this world.

  • @cyberwil08

    I knew zombies existed!

    Please dont offer your daily sufferings on anyone.

  • @cyberwil08 isnt jehova the lord god and jesus christ his true born son and overseer of our world?

  • @D2janar Amen.

  • this song is fantastically added in Heroes V of Might and magic sountrack
