Mozart Ave Verum Corpus por Leonard Bernstein

[yarmo28]

muchísimas gracias / vielen Dank / merci beaucoup / muito obrigado / thanks very much.

[philos06240]

Sacha Guitry aurait dit «Quand on a entendu du Mozart, le silence qui suit est encore du Mozart.» En observant M. Bernstein, on constate que le silence qui précède est lui aussi du Mozart: la communion est flagrante.

[eztobeme]

Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death. Oh dear Jesus, Oh merciful Jesus, Oh Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen.

[eztobeme]

Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine,

vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine,

cuius latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine:

esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.

O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie, O Iesu, fili Mariae.

Miserere mei. Amen.

[litigio]

Excelente. Ésto evidencia que sin música no se puede vivir.

[MrPerz]

Qué maravilla! Pero ni un solo segundo para contemplar a los músicos!!

[poprockstar101]

great song. doing this now for festival and a concert. but the words are not the right ones. is it translated differently?

[eztobeme]

@poprockstar101

I believe they are singing the Latin, which is being translated (on the video screen) into Spanish.

[davlor86]

@eztobeme yes it's like that ;)

[Tumbler1965]

Absolute Bliss!

[Bernardtokan]

Penampilan mereka asik sekali. Sangat menarik...................

[bitovino]

è la musica di Dio uscita dal cuore di un uomo.

[rr7firefly]

He was quite an accomplished conductor, yes, but at times Bernstein on camera is a bit much. So self aware in the image he is projecting for the public.

Th music is spectacular, though.

[janetathensbay]

@rr7firefly I believe that one of the main reasons Bernstein was so amazingly gifted was exactly because of the depth of his sensitivities towards the music he was conducting. Without that freedom of total expression, the ultimate results are dull and uninspired. So, just listen...there is no real need to watch:):) Amazing music indeed.

[Livender]

Hymn.

[adamturk005]

The environment, the time, the musicians together with Bernstein's authority and sensitivity bring out the best of this divine music

[anja615]

Beautiful!

[trainfart]

I like it!

[sanpicolo]

Mozart, Thanks for your Life...

[MrMoreno0170]

que bella y que profunda manera de probar la existencia de dios con esta musica divina

[babydol2010]

What a profound and noble music. It says so much with the voices singing togheter as one.

Very welcome I must say in this period of festivities and communion. This music really has a soul, and genius, that lifts the hearts, making us feel peaceful and content. Bravo !

Thank you Chantal.....

[musicoRegente]

How can a melody so wonderful, that leaves the deepest of human feeling have been composed of so many years and now make up anything that does not pay.

Grand Master Leonard Bernstein

[pablogoulartbiologia]

beyond perfection...

[LPmarkac]

I wish Mozart didn't die that young.

[LestatxLouis1]

@LPmarkac Imagine Beethoven actually taught by Mozart ...

[debmiddletongroup]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[AmbientFire]

Or one could simply thank the guy that actually came up with this music...

[JamaRosinavz518]

na ich bin nackt

[b8082457]

I have listened to many renditions of this beautiful music. This tops all and I just wish I had been in the audience to hear it first hand. No one clapped at the end...I would have done!

[PaperGrape]

@b8082457 They didn't clap because it was sacred... but I understand what your feeling anyway...

[adonelahi]

God's Music.

[adonelahi]

Amen

Thank you God. We now know that heaven exists. Why do you let us suffer which such divine music?

[fernanditohz]

LA MUSICA DE TANTOS SANTOS, DE TANTAS MISAS !!! AVE VERUM !!

gracias Dios por regalarnos tan HERMOSAS PIEZAS

[gustavomameluque]

Magnífico. Mais uma das grandes regências de bernstein

[eamdsa]

Sem palavras...simplesmente belíssimo.

[lucioscp3]

@eamdsa Belissimo e para mim pessoalmente esta pequena/Grande musica serà talvez a mais bela musica alguma vez feita.!Adoro musica classica(Chopin e Schubert,Vivaldi e Haendel,também Haydn,etc etc)Eu sei que todos estes compositores fizeram musica bela e extraordinària,mas nenhuma me toca mais que este "Ave Verum Corpus" na sua harmonia e simplicidade.Gosto muito tambem dos pianos concertos de Mozart

[danielbream]

Dio mio.

[glibbergloop]

Look at that conductor go. I love it.

[fightthefairy]

My choir's singing this - we must be doing it wrong as we sing it much faster than any version I've looked up. It's beautiful though, am enjoying it and hadn't thought I would. :)

[geminicatman]

@fightthefairy Phrasing ... understanding of the words, and not simply in terms of translation ... give everything to *breathe* ... that's how this one needs to be approached. Most just seem to run the notes into each other thinking that some miraculous transformation will occur before the sound hits the ears of the audience.

[ZIdar25]

This is divine

[thebest283]

Perfect! there are no words to explain the inexplicable, to explain what you can feel hearing this...Sublime interpretation.

[beehenk]

this is divine

[PaperGrape]

30 dislikes, I.. I.... no, Einstein couldn't figure that out, I shouldn't try.....

[yueguishu]

Music inspires us, fortifies us, consoles us -- and unites us. I love this wonderful meeting of the great Salzburg, HRE-born composer and the superb Jewish-American conductor in this piece written in Latin, performed in a Bavarian abbey, and subtitled in Spanish.

[MrMielten]

Thank you Mozart for having filled our lives with such beautiful music. You were a true genius!

[MannivanOs]

Eine wundervolle Aufführung

[MsjulianneMs]

Perfect tempos, perfect time, perfect interpretation... Perfect Bernstein!

[bordariel]

Que decir... estoy por ir a enseñar esta obra que conozco tanto... es una maravilla poder disponer de tan brillantes interpretaciones a la distancia de un click. Esta versión del gran Leonard Bernstein es Sublime con mayúscula!

[Colpocorto]

Es TAN difícil encontrar un coro que cante así de bien el Ave Verum de Mozart... Maravilloso. Y para ser Bernstein, no está edulcorado del todo...

[dudududedaddy]

Would like this to be played at funeral for my poor foolish soul to meet his Creator...

[HiyukoTK]

dan ganas de llorar al escuchar tanta belleza

[davlor86]

rara vez la humanidad volvera a encontrarse con un genio como Mozart

[KyndalSarah]

Resplendent. I don't care about the conductor or who or what or how or anything. If the notes are played, they are carried for each and every length denoted, it is a miracle. It is Mozart.

[dwmiller63]

Doesn't it just seem like Bernstein wants the audience to drink in every chord that Mozart wrote. He never pushes the choir or the orchestra through but seems to savor the tension and resolution throughout. What a gem!

[TheFestivelights]

@dwmiller63 Beautifully put.

[moonlitshadow27]

who could possibly dislike this? i find it unfathomable. the sound is exquisite and truly honors Mozart- though, if truth be told, i think the conductor looks kinda like a gnome. anyone agree?

[tritonusgesang]

"This is the best performance of Ave Verum Corpus that I have found on YouTube."

Richtig! - Ein wahrer Genuss!

[VoltaireMM]

Viva MOZART .'.

[elviraba1]

Una obra bellísima. Sublime. Lo mejor de Mozart. Un genio. Gracias.

[spakoine1]

its like pulse slow down- you feel what mr.bernstein whant us to feel- harmony and relaxed. tears can run free!!! Thanks!!!

[Desperadounico]

Magnifico!

[TheFestivelights]

Stunning.

[orunitin]

バーンスタイン、円熟の境地ですね。素晴らしいです。

[tonganfoilole69]

I agree; this is 1 of da best performer of this beautiful song; love this song, 1 of my favourite song ever...catholic song..

[shelbyshaffer2002]

Wow - sitting here with tears running down my cheek from the music, the performance, the message and the emotions it stirs.

[FuckingFreaky]

Goosebumps...

[AlmansiGianfranco]

Sono ebreo ma questo coro riempie il cuore e l'anima

[stnicholas54]

Nice one, Wolfie .........

[tennotes]

Two masters--Bernstein and Mozart!

Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death. Oh dear Jesus, Oh merciful Jesus, Oh Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen. Amen Indeed - Wonderful

[PaperGrape]

@coyoacan73 I was dying for a translation... this piece is exemplary of the spiritual effect of perfectly matched composition and lyrics. THANK YOU!

[tonganfoilole69]

Beautiful music; the 1st time i heard this song; i was in love with it and opposes with it, trying very hard to find the music, cause i have my own choir. I finally got it from our parish choir, i taught my choir this song, and i was so very happy that we finally sang this beautiful song....1 of my favourite song ever...the angel from heaven sing it too.

[SertavisSaviPianist]

I just got dizzy listening to this, amazing amazing amazing....

[Darkboy2525]

this is like T_T ... so beatifull .... Mozart .. (with the CAPITAL M) just didn';t know how much his music can do to mankind .. this is so extremly beatifull .. I cry right now, this is so amazing beatifull no words can fit Mozart his greatness, and the preformance .. whas .. just stunning .. I would be speechless all day if I sit there myself and my ears did hear this ... this is so extemely well done ... so deep intens of emotions .. this is the purness still left in the world ..

[Fafahbarr]

Emocionante!

[tonganfoilole69]

[Snow1980able]

youtubeでさまざまな演奏を聴きました。

愛好会の方々による小編成の演奏にはその独自の味わいがあり、

この動画のような完成度の高い演奏にも魅力があると改めて思いま­した。

良い曲は、永遠に歌い継がれていくのでしょう。

ありがとう。

[dinopelle]

They do look a lot alike, but this is Leonard Bernstein. Karajan died in 1989. And this piece was performed in 1990.

[peuksken]

Beste vertolking ooit. Mozart zou zich verheugen bij het aanhoren van deze vertolking

[dvebas]

De mimiek en lichaamstaal van deze man is weergaloos.

[santi481]

Maravilloso. Sin duda la mejor melodia de Mozart. ¡Gracias Mozart! sin ti la musica no hubiera sido igual.

[MrFerminleon]

(I appreciate Wikipaedia's contributions in the descriptions on previous comment)

[monitafeliz52]

One of de most beautifull pieces from W. A. Mozart and sorry but, this is not Bernstein, he is HERBERT VON KARAJAN...

[ofiterpunte]

@monitafeliz52

Nope, it's Bernstein. They do look a bit alike at this age, but here's one hint, this guy smiles. Karajan doesn't smile. Ever.

[Bronsky001]

I'm a huge Karajan fan, but that is Bernstein.

[romeohaitjuliette]

@monitafeliz52

Karajan was dead in 1990 !!! This conductor is Léonard Bernstein.

[MrFerminleon]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Ave verum corpus in D major (K. 618) was written for Anton Stoll (a friend of his and Joseph Haydn's) who was musical co-ordinator in the parish of Baden bei Wien, near Vienna. This setting of the Ave verum corpus text was composed to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi and the autograph is dated 17 June 1791. It is only forty-six bars long and is scored for SATB choir, stringed instruments, and organ.

[meetyouallthere]

this is heaven...

[kjfahey4]

I'm in love with this performance. I'm in love with this piece.

[kalchgrubernorma]

To my husband, in memorian.

[Teddyb1939]

I repeat myself here, how on this earth or any other place, could any sane person dislike this great work.

[SoBeit777]

our prejudices come after we are born as well, so verily the world remains in the company of heaven (known or unknown) and things are as they are, eternally in change. love to all who feel this music.

[SoBeit777]

looks like Leslie Neilsen!

[Aristoteles83]

@SoBeit777 Nah, it's God an he is a Jew. ;-)

[napsuta]

@Aristoteles83 Wrong very very wrong. Leonard Bernstein was born and remained a human being. Our labels come after we are born and have nothing to do with our humanity. He was born with a great talent for music. He was a great conductor, pianist and composer. As noted by dwf56 this performance is by far the best on you tub. there was one with LB conducting the Vienna boys choir it is a truely great interpretation. Sadly taken off youtube.

[Aristoteles83]

Godlike.

[taf289]

Di fronte a tanto si rimane a bocca aperta dallo stupore. E ti viene voglia di andare a fondo perché, come diceva don Giussani, solo lo stupore conosce. taf289

[TheZooomm]

No words can ever express the feelings that this piece brings to our hearts...

[Moneymakingpants1]

I remember singing this in my high school choir. We had the music memorized within the first few days. I think this was my favorite song...unfortunately I am farely certain we didn't sound anywhere near this good lol! I still sing my part sometimes lol!

[nakaroxx]

this song makes me sleep but i still love it, so warm sounding

[antorlords]

I just admit, I'm not religious, but as a choir bass singer, I do love to perform this canon. It's hard to learn, but it touches deeply my soul every time I sing it. It's beautiful and profound like a prayer.

[moraletica1]

@antorlords maybe god is calling you! see: watch?v=1QYeST_9FUg

[Markseus]

Oh, I´m in heaven...!!

[AoifeCaoimhe]

wrong words

[spiritsted]

Back in time I was a part of a school choir that had to sing this in a competition. Not an easy feat for an 11 yr old in a Secondary Modern School to learn meaningless Latin. I can't remember how we did in the contest but the funny thing is that now, as a 67 year old, I can still remember every word and still have no idea whatsoever of what they mean.

[humantechnology]

@spiritsted @spiritsted do you want to know? or does the music already tell you its meaning on an emotional level? on wikipedia you can find a full translation and explanation of the text's history.

[humantechnology]

A translation into English is: Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death.

This part is not in the musical performance: Oh dear Jesus, Oh merciful Jesus, Oh Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen.

[humantechnology]

@humantechnology (which is from wikipedia)

[amatiize]

Touching...

Thanks to you Mozart.

[mediasuciacolorida]

What makes it a masterpiece is the passion :)

[chumpic1]

Mozart is God sent angel to convey the music of Heaven.

[comesm]

worst thing about this hymn is that it's too short

[MrSeebawaih]

wow takemyimage com

[chiggavier]

i don't know how the people resisted expressing gratitude or emotion to the piece

[LtFransky]

@chiggavier Hearing this in person would have been stunning. It would have been difficult to allow applause to spoil the moment :)

[dwf56]

@chiggavier There are a few possible explanations. This concert was held in April 1990 in the Church of Waldsassen Germany. 1) It is often customary to observe silence when concerts are programmed in sections, this being the first or second work within a larger section. 2) The Church of Waldsassen does not allow applause. 3) Rarely, I must say, there are *special moments* in music making where sheer awe takes audiences' and performers' breath away. What I would like to believe here....

[buttonfreezer]

a truely delicious sound.i love this

[Felix3529]

We sing an other version of this song but i think all versions of this song are very great i love This but for beginners not easy to sing ;

this is the most beautifu;, most sublime 46 measures of music ever written.

We have to sing this in my Concert Choir... It's a great song...

[dwf56]

As I commented a year ago... This is the best performance of Ave Verum Corpus that I have found on YouTube. The singers, with music memorized(!) and all heads up following the conductor(!) is, by itself, wonderful and rare. This is one of Mozart's truly great works ~ humble yet rich with humanity. Bernstein's direction and wonderful insight into the work result in a truly moving and "special moment" that will shine forever. Thank you for posting this video ~ superb and sublime.

[napsuta]

@dwf56 Just had to write to you and tell you I could not agree more with every word you have written. This a truely wonderful interpretation of great music. We are all in shostakk's debt for uploading this.

[dwf56]

@napsuta Yes, this one little video enhances the quality of YouTube in a huge way. From America to Romania and beyond... we are all in shostakk's debt, as much as we are filled with awe.

[Bronsky001]

Amen to that, best version ever, i'm not a Bernstein fan but this is amazing.....

preciosa interpretacion, es increible, celestial ,magnifico coro.

[manjarman]

exelente...me recuerda cuando estaba en el coro dela uta

[zamyrabyrd]

The degree of commitment and feeling is quite extraordinary here. There is no way to fake such sentiments. Contrary to his lifestyle at the time, Bernstein must have tuned into that better part of himself for this performance.

[pochychan]

made me cry

[DolcevoltoPM]

This is beautiful!!! Is like being in Heaven singing with the Angels .....
