Mozart Requiem Mass in D Minor XII - Communio

[in4merATP]

Salieri made another account!

[DNXMRXLNS]

LOVE Dies Irae, LOVE Kirye... LOVE this fucking music.

[zehnterapril]

Amazing singing. especially the soloists, singing everything WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE MUSIC ONCE! Words cannot describe how this music makes me feel...

[bayreuth79]

Thank God for Mozart!

[Bibu231060]

Trop bon ! Awesome ! Thanks, Lord Gardiner, and all others musicians.

[mariamagda57]

It will never cease to amaze me, how anybody can vote this down!!!! This is pure beauty! Thank you for posting is all I can say!

Simplesmente, humano. Demonstra que o ser humano é superior e criador.

[rogerryton]

For those interested, the location for this video is the "Palau de la Música Catalana" , a concert hall in Barcelona

[aijamargit]

wow, they have used really high tenors to sing the alto. :--O

[mammers11]

Well, damned if there isn't a giant stained-glass nipple on the ceiling.

[mtv565]

@mammers11 It is merely your interpretation. Your words do not tarnish or detract the beautiful interiors of the threatre. It merely reflects upon you as a person.

[mammers11]

@mtv565 Wow. Piety, humorlessness, smugness, bad grammar, and a witless attempt at an insult, all in three sentences. Pat yourself on the back.

[mtv565]

@mammers11 Nice description of your "nipple on the ceiliing" comment. I couldn't have done it better.

[mammers11]

@HyperionResident What you posted is not a correction.

[HyperionResident]

@mammers11

I hope you realize what piety means. It's the quality of being religious or dutiful. Even if you meant pity, it wouldn't be correct as pity is the noun and your sentence is (or at least should be) a string of adjectives. The "ness" on humorlessness isn't necessary, poor is technically the correct adjective, and witless you got right. Oh and smugness, you got that one correct too (I dislike mtv for this as well).

I'm not against you, it's just that you're wrong (though less so) too.

[Elainelps0421]

@HyperionResident Good God, are you an English teacher?? (checking my grammar and spelling as I type) :)

[42TheGamer]

@HyperionResident No. mammers11 described mtv565's comment with nouns and he (or she) did so, because it was his (her) intention to do it this way. As you may recognize simply if you read the commentary again, every critisising word is a noun, there is not even one adjective (in this case I'll count "witless attempt" as one term ). After all, this is the internet. Maybe it is necessary to correct grave mistakes in orthography, but it is absolutely not necessary to correct "wrong grammar".

[HyperionResident]

@42TheGamer After reexamining the post, I have realized that you are indeed correct, at least for the most part. My focus was on the string of words, rather than the post in its entirety. While mistakes still remain in the string, the usage of nouns is indeed correct, though using their adjective forms would be more effective. I don't always correct grammar, but in this case it was necessary as he himself was attacking another's 'improper' grammar. But I do thank you for pointing out my mistake.

[derb65]

None of the singers have music--even the soloists. Badass.

[Elainelps0421]

@derb65 I would really be badass if none of the orchestra had music, too :)

[TheRealDeal1515]

This is bullshit. Mozart would have never ended his Requiem by repeating the Introitus with different lyrics. It was all that moron of a musician, Sussmayer's, fault for being such a horrible composer.

It's as if destroying the Lacrimosa wasn't enough for him, so he had to fuck the whole Requiem. Fuck you Sussmayer.

All of this makes want to finish my own version of the Requiem, and I will.

[Elainelps0421]

@TheRealDeal1515 I dunno, I think he did a pretty nice job finishing it :)

[MrAgnost]

@TheRealDeal1515 even if you were correct in saying what you say. Then you seriously think mimicing mozart was a bad idea? I would rather have stolen a great idea than ruin one by adding my own crappy one. So regardless of your point of view I will disagree both ways!

[HyperionResident]

@TheRealDeal1515

I heavily suggest you don't listen to Verdi's Requiem. He often reuses parts of Dies Irae. Still a good Requiem though, not really a valid reason to dislike it.

Also, glhf on being better than Mozart.

[NeledIthil]

@TheRealDeal1515 I think you maybe right. Mozart would never have ended his requiem this way. But Sussmayer did the best he could to finish the piece without modifying or destroying Mozart's work. Honestly, I think is a lot better to give a cyclic end than finishing with his own piece of work. It just wouldn't have felt right for the audience.

[moneyonthegrill]

hooray for the fugue!!!!

[preppychrisbou]

Thank you so much for uploading heaven.

[smilynika]

I lover this

[danielibanezgarcia]

Acojonante

one person was drunk when they tried to press the like button

[farmerbb11]

Who is the grumpy lady in the pink blouse at 5:58 who can't even clap at such a magnificent performance. ?

[makthnife]

@farmerbb11 That would be Edna VanFesterpus III. She's not known for her outword displays of emotion, but get a little wine in those ol bones at intermission, and BLAMO! Wild women, look out! Between u and me...I once saw her actually whistle after a Barber concerto. Swear to it! And her pecan pie is amazing. But dont judge her, please. It was an off night. The egg nog was a little..shall we say, thick, that night?

[Elainelps0421]

@makthnife LMAO!

[marvinslap]

quite excellent!!

[eclair9]

This just makes me cry. It's so incredibly beautiful, lovely and harmonius. How can it not make anyone happy? Absolutely astounding.

[wolverineaquajock2]

@eclair9 happy, excited, and swallowed in the deepest agonizing sorrow i can imagine. thus the power of music.

[riku92mr]

5:01 ... can't stop listening to that chord.

[elivansouza]

The English Baroque Soloists are simply one of the best when it comes to performing these pieces.

[4908jorge]

EXCELENTES INTERPRETES DE LA MUSICA MAS BELLLA.¡¡FELICIDADES¡¡

[MrAndreiSandulescu]

Godlike music... absolutely genius!!! thank you for sharing!!!!!

[rush12211]

This sounds similar to the Introitus but in a Major Key.

[jamesguo66a]

@rush12211 its basically the same thing... slightly shorter in the beginning, and different lyrics. slightly different rhythms in Cum Sanctis

[SilenceTheQuiet]

@jamesguo66a Actually it is taken from Introitus. However you were right: it does have different lyrics. If you watch the Introitus video again, watch for when the soprano solo comes in. It's the exact same part. And that's what makes it shorter. Not tying to be a know it all, I'm just saying the facts. I am obsessed with Mozart's Requiem!

[Sephira1972]

I really enjoyed this! Thank you for posting ...

[Marie0Felicite]

no words can discribe the beauty and level of perfection this composition reaches..

nothing can clearly explain in words the amazing feelings and shivers the music of Communio gives me..

thank you so much for sharing this video with the rest of us..

[Sunamiking]

There are 14 movements in the Requiem Mass in D Minor by Mozart-Sudarshan

[rienevlaa]

het requiem is echt vet!

en zo heerlijk die brullende kerels B-)

zo een man wil ik ook wel!

[yigitpamuk]

Can some expert tell me are there any difference between Kyrie and 2nd part of Comminio(especially in pace?)

[mera103]

well I am no expert but the music is the same because I think it is in sonata form where the music in the end is the same as in the beginning

[finch2294]

sussmayr just copied the music from the kyrie, so it's basically the same

however, the lyrics are different, so he had to add extra syllables here and there, meaning slightly different rhythms

[nacho0freak]

If I can remember it is to follow the order of a normal Mass, just like how a Mass follows into each other so does this song...

[wackyal3000]

For me in the chorus section the basses are just superior to the others (but they are all superb) and it really it comes out in this section. As a Bass it is very easy to be overpowered by the Sopranos on the long tuis and fade into nothing but they remain at the fore front of the sound.

[layla12212]

Thanks, NJHanna, for giving so much of the wording and translation. I have sung a lot of sacred music, so I know and understand the Latin of a regular Mass, but a Requiem Mass is quite different.

[NJHanna]

Communio (Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis mis in aeternum, quia pius es. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, cum sanetis tuis in aeternum, quia plus es.) May eternal light shine on them, O Lord. with Thy saints for ever, because Thou art merciful. Grant the dead eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them, with Thy saints for ever, because Thou are merciful.

[nickxyzt]

Maybe you meant that Lacrimosa was the last part Mozart finished. But the other parts were written also by Mozart, but they were finished by some other composer. Still, it is Mozart's composition.

[CaioZap]

From the Sanctus on, the whole music is by Süssmayr (the Communio is based on the Introitus and Kyrie). Mozart composed the whole Introitus and the Kyrie. And the rest is Mozart's uncomplete work, finished by Süssmayr.

[The21122012]

I prefer Communio

[abtrlif4al]

lacrimosa is my fav

[captcapella]

Thank You !

[romaspqr81]

I've been at the opera yesterday night in Rome to see this Requiem... simply astonished!

[profjaykay]

romanspqr81 i am truley jealous of you at this moment

[Froastwolf]

this help me study. and even paint... ah thank you Mozart

[LCH14]

Thank you soooooo much for these videos... Thank you sooo much for putting the Requiem and I hope you keep putting things like this one... It is great.

[aeternam1]

thank you so much for putting all this on.... please never take it off....

[lemonite1]

I don't know Classical very well so can someone tell me which part(s) Mozart did'nt write. I can't tell cuz its the same mass on my cd. BTW this performance kicks ass! It's better than what I got.The balance between the voices and instruments is good and it gets loud and soft real smooth. Then again, I'm no afficianado, i just listen.

[mtv565]

@lemonite1: You need to get the score, they indicate which parts are written by Mozart and which are written by his student. I got the score so I know.

[adrianitube]

the soloists are brilliant! overall the soprano...her voice is so sweet!

[scalytailedsquirrel]

A truly wonderful piece.

[emmaaaaargh]

Awe-inspiring.

[renoijc]

Excellent performance. Mozart in his best

[6577446]

A wonderful concert. When I get to perform in such a concert, then I will die happy.

But first, I'll finish high school.

[irontoad123]

Exellent presentaion

thank you classical music guide

[Lukecash12]

Bach. A beautiful mind. He wrote such wonders that could spell out his emotional history. Not what happened, but how he saw the world, and how he felt. His love wasn't even discovered until 100 years later by a pianist who performed it live. People were in awe at this schokingly beautiful mind that came from no where. He didn't have or need grandeur. He WAS grandeur, the kind of bitterness and love he communicated far better than mere words...

[yeolderadio]

...Bach?

[Lukecash12]

lol. I was thinking mozart, but typed bach...

[6577446]

Smooth.

[amlokadion]

By far the best play ever written!!!

By far the best performance uploaded to youtube!

Thanks

[fiordiligicymraeg]

if I didn't know the meaning of the words I would never have thought B.Bonney was asking for eternal light to shine! I love her voice, but this part should be hopeful and uplifting, not jolly of course, but not as subdued as here.

[lilruby16]

Very calming and nice too good to listen 2 when studying 4 a test

[amlokadion]

haha, for a test that might not go so well!

[lilruby16]

how u figure 4 sum people they get sumwhat nervus or they get streesed out & when i was studying 4 my test i was PMS'ing so i was having the worst day of my life being all emotional & what not. so when i found the song & i listened 2 it it calmed me down very much so ya just 2 tell u im sumhwhat ot a spaz so ya . y mite that not go so well just to ask ??

kiki

[Colbertisgod66]

Wow... I think you just proved that listening to classical music alone does not make one more intelligent.

[Colbertisgod66]

This and the other comment were in response to lilruby16

[Colbertisgod66]

Translation: Why do you think so? For some people, testing can be very stressful. I was going through a difficult time while studying for that test. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I was about to begin menstruating. Fortunately, I found this wonderful piece and found myself much more calm and sedate. Just to let you know, I am not entirely in control of myself or my actions. I am still quite curious as to why listening to this may cause discord in my studies?

KiKi

End of Translation

[lilruby16]

so what if i dont type hugh words or use proper grammer to sound smart or intelligent i am who i am so as just wondering ,Cilcertsgod66, whats the matter if i dont use proper grammer to sound smart i get me point across and even without proper grammer people understand it. Im for the most part a blunt and straight forward person who in the end of a conversation gets my point across

[Colbertisgod66]

What?

[chunkybutt420]

all you need to say is " I ams who I ams" nuff said :)

[SCHneiDen777]

i love to study and listen to this music. the words are clear enough to hear if you listen, but not distracting (for me anyway) while studying. in fact, im drillin away right now, studying i mean. keeps the heart beat up it does!

[lilruby16]

i love all music i cant live with out it not even 4 1 day pretty much. but even when im not listen to music on the computer, mp3, etc... i have songs goin around in my head constantly me favs are the numa numa song , kingdom under the monutain, butterfly, feel good inc., etc...

kiki

[SCHneiDen777]

haha, numa numa song, and were talkin about mozart... funny. have you ever heard "the sound of silence"? (simon and Garfunkel). ther is oddly music in silence also i think.

anyway, off topic. Mozart Mozart Mozart. he really knew how to make a few notes have unspeakable impact. mozart's piano concerto's do not have as many notes as Rachmaninoff's piano probably, one concerto, but there's a lot of room for "coloring effect" becus ther are so fewer notes, where as rachmaninoff, you could ...

[SCHneiDen777]

... get lost in all those notes and forget about color all together.

anyway, my point is, playing Mozart can be just as hard as playing Rachmaninoff, and just becus you can bang your way thru Rach's hardest piece of music, doesnt mean you can play colorful and meaningful Mozart.

PS. i think this performance of "Requiem" really showcases brilliance in a way that Mozart would be more than satisfied. THANKS GARDINER!

[OMM06]

Beautiful series

[VincentLe1991]

Ya I love the Requiem is so nice.

[95thRiflesOCI]

is this the last one I couldn't find the name properly.

[mozartjpn137]

I think Süssmayr did a good job, too.

[Rodintube]

I have just watch them all. Thank you!! Great performance.

[anneyre]

Again, and for the last time :) - thank you for posting this!

All in all a wonderful rendition of the Requiem. Bravo!

[darkcinderellaisabel]

Ahh! Barbera Bonney was the solo soprano! No wonder the voice sounded so familiar!

[darkcinderellaisabel]

I watched them all too!!!

[josiauc]

A Great choral - sacred work by Mozart, and a great performance by Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloist & John Elliot Gardiner, but I prefeer Handel' s Messiah, it is the best choral - sacred work!!

[Elainelps0421]

@josiauc Everyone has their own preference...no one can deny the majestic greatness of Handel's Messiah! All of these religious works seem so inspired. I am particularly partial to Haydn's Creation and to Mozart's Requiem.
