Mozart Requiem Mass in D Minor VIII - Hostias

[kaliosik1]

интересно что может быть хуже этого?

[301250]

Sung with so much heart-felt reverence, so moving and enough to convince the diehard atheist that there must be a Greater Being to inspire such music from the creative hand of that genius, Mozart. His unfinished Masterpiece of all masterpieces.

perfect interpretation of Gardiner. I love how they interpret this Requiem. I did not like that of Karl Bohm, too slow for my taste, Gardiner is perfect.

[twitface100]

beautiful absoulutly beautiful

[dublincool86]

The world could never tire from a work such as this. It's incredibly perfect.

[Naeou]

[hummlyhummly]

@Elainelps0421 That's all you hear now? Surely you can't be serious...

[Elainelps0421]

@hummlyhummly You can't hear it????

[MrAgnost]

Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,

laudis offerimus.

Tu sucipe pro animabus illis,

quaram hodie memoriam facimus.

Fac eas, Domine,

de morte transire ad vitam,

Quam olim Abrahae promisisti

et semini ejus.

There you go

[txdiva09]

"Quam olim Abrahae promisisti, et semini ejus."

Which Thou did promise to Abraham and his seed :)

[lilttlekevin89]

darn you youtube comments, now thats all I hear too... I wish I never read the comments :-(

[jaredL18]

oK all you people that posted the comments about them sounding like they are saying "don't call me marmalade" I have to tell you: my friends and I have been laughing hysterically all week about this since reading your comments! OMG hilarious. And now WE are all hearing it. But thanks for the laughter!

[Elainelps0421]

@jaredL18 Trust me, I know....now every time I listen to this movement, I can't hear anything BUT those words! Hahaha! It doesn't matter, I think Mozart would approve :)

[yugiohsc]

GAH! I HEAR IT NOW TOO XD

[punkypenguin321]

@HumanistAtheist Damnit I can't listen to it without laughing now!!! I can't even think of what they were singing in Latin now.

[goldengal1989]

I've always loved this piece.

[SissiPrinses]

This is how heaven must sound... I am totally addicted to this masterpiece.

[ProFormaOrdinaria]

2:25 : "Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini eius."

What you have promised to Abraham and his sons.

[Friedallie]

Really just a fantastic performance. A lot of versions I've heard are much too slow but this one is perfect!

[mouthmouse]

As a bass it's one of the best extract from the requiem to sing!

[HumanistAtheist]

Starting around 2:25 I keep hearing them sing "Don't call me marmalade, call me cici." Blasted audio pareidolia (audeidolia?).

[checkeraka47]

@HumanistAtheist hahaha! thats funny

[anjunafae]

@HumanistAtheist thanks to you, now thats what i hear.. haha

[Elainelps0421]

@HumanistAtheist HAHAHA! Now every time I hear this section, I think of this:)  Thanks for bringing some humor to this amazing, gorgeous, inspirational piece:)

[LoadOfCrabby]

@HumanistAtheist Darn it, now I hear it too.

[saturn6990]

@HumanistAtheist LOOOOOOOOOOOL XD



[samsun216]

@HumanistAtheist And that's how I'm going to hear it from now on ever after, thanks to you:)

[VeggieVamp]

@HumanistAtheist That has to be the best comment I have ever come across of youtube. Ever. Mind-blowing so it was!

[p90abuser95]

Mozart actually wrote only up to his seventh movement, Franz Xaver Sussmayr (his student) finished it using Mozart's style.

[Elainelps0421]

@p90abuser95 Were there fragments actually from Mozart which he used to reconstruct the final movements?

[seefuchs6]

the first 30 seconds Wolferl must have seen the paradise...

[MrContrapunctus]

Man don't you just love that suspended D just before the end?

[crob647gtx]

the tempo could be compromised slightly for an added effect of tenderness and expression. Other than that...excellent performance!

[pantypasta]

I like Giulini's version a lot better

[pomponi0]

OMG, how can anyone compare Spears to Verdi?

She's somewhere beetween Bach and Michael Jackson.

[esslaee]

I'm confused. Bach and MJ are both good.

[pomponi0]

That's what i said. Britney Spears is a bit better than Bach, but still not as good as Michael Jackson (R.I.P.)

[betacorazon]

please don't compare that nitwit spears to verdi....its an insult to musicians everywhere, and all her fans are either sluts or trashy like she is....and i know ppl that adore her and are sluts and trash...just as well as having a low I.Q. level.....

[VeggieVamp]

@betacorazon That is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. You must be trolling because if you aren't, I have lost another grain of faith that I have in humanity.

[NJHanna]

(Hostias et preces, tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus: tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus: fac eas, Domine, de morte Iransire ad vitam, quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.) We offer unto Thee this sacrifice of prayer and praise. Receive it for those souls whom today we commemorate. Allow them, O Lord, to cross from death into the life which once Thou didst promise to Abraham and his seed.

[Tomeres]

This truly is a gorgeous mass!

I just cant help but find it funny how its a mass written as a tribute to the dead.......

[MatticusFinch83]

Beautiful.

[abtrlif4al]

its amazing how such great music can be a result from a religion. being athiest its really incredible in what really inspired these people and its expression through music is mind blowing

[amichan500]

lol at 2:30 then everything just went... "WHOA!!!!!"

[briguyhackins]

They are not playing in A 440. Anyone know what they are using as a ref tone

[krutchel777]

want to see them live!

[nadavnaz2]

SO DO I!

[gingerflower92]

even more to HEAR them live :)

[cbdd18]

my highschool is singing mozarts requiem in carnegie hall this year....best peice of classical music ever composed

[AxlSlash4]

you dont know anything about classical music. the best piece ever composed was fur elise because everyone knows about it. play this shit versus fur elise to 10 people and see how many more know and appreciate fur elise over whatever requiem this is

[mcmbane]

Just because a thing is popular doesn't mean that it is the best.

Just because a thing is unpopular doesn't mean that it is not brilliant.

Popularity has little to do with quality.

[AxlSlash4]

quality is just as subjective as popularity...to be honest, popularity probably has more credibility

[jim420780]

If you're going to be like that then it makes sense to look at the classicFM poll run every year, in which consistently this piece is in the top 40 and Fur Elise is outside the top 100. So in fact this is more popular than Fur Elise. And deservedly so, for while both are brilliant pieces in their own right this piece speaks far more to the heart.

[AxlSlash4]

it's kind of hasty to claim that this poll represents the worldwide popularity of songs. Unless you can prove that this classicFM poll is the official worldwide indicator of the popularity of songs through some quantitative measure, you surely can't expect me to accept it. On the other hand, through qualitative measures, I can prove otherwise. The number of pop culture references to fur elise and the number of instances in which the piece shows up in piano books greatly overshadows this requiem

[jim420780]

Well I would expect a choral work to show up in piano books anyway. On the other hand I would certainly agree that this poll is unlikely to be the correct measure worldwide. But it IS the largest official measure of this sort of thing that I am aware of, and so must hold some weight.

I'd say that Fur Elise is more well-known as you do. But this piece is not "crap" just because not many people know it. Fur elise is shorter and easier to play - and that makes the difference, I think.

[rattrameggeagoth]

By the same logic britney spears is better than, lets say, Verdi, because she's more known.

[CaioZap]

I really don't know where this came from, but I guess that, for some people, Britney is indeed better than Verdi. Britney may not be that good, but for some people, she makes more sense and is more meaningful than Verdi. And I really don't expect Verdi to make sense to, let's say, most of brazilians, since he's italian and we're not. Does that make sense?

[rattrameggeagoth]

Jesus H. Christ.

I'm brazilian, and I bet most intelligent brazilian would be ashamed of you.

What's your point, britney is better because her music is more acessible(read: dumb), or because she's from a certain country? You must admit that those people are dumber, or that they're from the same country as her.

But you're brazilian and she's not.

Oh wait.

[CaioZap]

I'm really more into Verdi than into Britney. But I guess we have to respect who's not. It's not about being dumb. We're talking about different cultures. I'd prefer not to discuss my intelligence on youtube, anyway.

And it's not about a country, it's about a culture. Verdi is european culture (which is not universal culture at all) and Britney is north-american culture (same for her). Liking or not any of them is not a matter of dumbness or intelligence. And 'intelligent' is a vague concept.

[CaioZap]

And I'm brazilian as well.

Eu realmente não vejo a galera do baile funk aparecendo no Teatro Municipal e achando o máximo, da mesma forma que eu não vejo os assinantes da Sala S. Paulo indo num baile funk e se divertindo muito (a maioria esmagadora, pelo menos. Sempre há exceções). Cada um serve a um propósito e nenhum desses é melhor ou pior que outro. Pelo menos eu não acho.

[qohed]

to the one who commented saying this music brought him/her back to the Catholic church; that's good and all but know that God's word does not speak to denominations as single units, but to ALL

[luisincalvicies23]

no sabia que se llamaba hostias, pero ostias como me gusta

[cuco1271]

jajajajaja bravo!!!!

[spadoony]

They say Mozzer didnt write the orchestration for this section - only the vocal parts.

[wh1telightning19]

he wrote some of both. he died partway through the piece, while writing lacrimosa. I believe the exact note of his death is known. it's in the 8th measure. the rest was finished by his apprentice.

[eggs4ever]

A few years ago I wrote a paper on this very topic, and if memory serves, it is actually more controversial than some history books would claim. Mozart scholars differ greatly largely because some claim that there were skeletal manuscripts of some of the later movements. None claim that the whole is his work, but I don't think it's uniform agreement on wha tis.

[lucioscp]

that voices...beautifull!!!Mozart make magic with human voices

[Wizecracker]

Gardner is such a great conductor...!

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

Indeed, like James Levine and others, he's not concerned with standing up there as though he presides over every single aspect of the performance, and rather sees himself as a part of it. No nonsense conducting is the way to do it.

[AmonGottenschritt]

Great piece.

[lotus072]

what a beautiful piece thank you

[Asquaredx2]

One of, if not the most beautiful piece(s) ever written.
