Ockeghem Missa Mi-mi Gloria

[SeanMcHugh00]

Yes this is extremely fine and intelligently shaped Renaissance polyphony, and one of the strongest recordings of a mass I've ever heard, out of many dozens I've got to know. It also reminds me of the amazing Pro Antiqua Cantione recording of the Ockeghem Requiem on DG Archiv from the 70s(?) but is perhaps even more involving. As for the astronomical images this is a stroke of genius I think! Christianity's heart is really cosmic truths and not insistence on dogma and history.

[SeanMcHugh00]

And I've just noticed you have that PAC recording I mentioned on your playlist- the Desprez Missa L'homme arme super voices musicales was the coupling.

I love this! such beautiful harmonies. I think this is the most peaceful and mysterious version of the Gloria I have found. Ockeghem gives such awe and wonder to the Latin text, which proclaims the glory and authority of the Christ, the son of God. Although the song has nothing to do with space, I like the visual picture of God's amazing creation.

Heavenly!

Johannes Ockeghem is composer of the week on the radio here. I am so enjoying it. And thank you for posting this sublime composition.

@TheGloryofMusic "Some of the most sublime music ever composed."

I totally agree! Thank you for this upload.

[beanic00]

very sad that all of you forgot that it's not about chakras or space this music is for God, and that's why it's so beautiful!

[1ndabag]

@beanic00 Ignore him. That's all they have: ridicule, snark, mockery. Truly pitiable.

[BilboHalfling]

i really feel that Ockeghem stands out from other composers of the period, before and after him.  underrated?

[TheGloryofMusic]

@BilboHalfling He's not underrated but he is under-appreciated.

[BilboHalfling]

@TheGloryofMusic there ya go

[flexibartrampolin]

Showing hubble pictures is a fine idea. Only the distant beauty of the sky may counterpart these sounds. However I discovered that the motion that drives this music must be the physical beauty and perfection of the one you love. The beauty of men and women you love. So this is human (and in some sense humanistic) and not celestial music. (No. I am not stressing the distincion of musica mundana and humana and universalis. Musica mundana are the machine sounds of the celestial spheres ...)

[megaman90]

beautiful. the human voice can use such power.

Thanks for posting this...fortunately CP recently released an extraordinary performance of a mass by Obrecht. Maybe they'll re-release this recording.

[Wytnucls]

The file only plays for a few seconds, then switches to the Sanctus.. :(

[yourforte]

Beautiful and ethereal.

[jay1beaux]

What power-- to reach across centuries, and hold us spellbound.

[rogermoore27]

OMG....this is really sublime

[TWTinctoris]

Thank you for the video. I did not know this and I agree - it`s is a really incredible performance. I listened to it many times and think that singers of 15th. century-music should know this recording, because it seems much more precise and sensitive in the rethorical details than other interpretations of this difficult piece. The expressive effect is astounding.

[amorepaura]

meravigliosa...

We just sang this last Sunday in Syracuse

[TheRequiem677]

"Requiem aeternam dona eis"

[janeym]

This choir is perfect! Amazing sensitivity, and the music itself is gorgeous!

[TheGloryofMusic]

This performance is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Unfortunately, all of their recordings are out of print and nearly unavailable. I saw one copy of this CD for sale a few months ago on German Amazon.

[janeym]

I have some great news! type in "media converter" on google search and click on the first result, as long as you haven't blocked this video from the site (almost no one does haha) you can actually convert this video into an mp3 file! Just enter the url, and its converted in a couple minutes! You can also convert video files, and its five free conversions a day! I have used it successfully a few times, so give it a go!

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Have to agree with you - simply exquisite!!!! I've just marked this as a "favorite", and will return to it and your other smashing offerings often. Thank you from the top, bottom and all other parts of my heart!!

[TheGloryofMusic]

Thanks for the comment!

[ClassicalMusicReview]

Johannes Ockeghem created the most multi-dimensional and animately dimensional heavy metal I've ever heard.This rhetoric touches all my chakras simultaneously and cuts my soul to the bone.This is a fine performance for it's ability to imply the strength and totality of cosmic love obscured while totally integrated through eternally conscious space.Bravo!

[PutItAway101]

Horseshit

[LazlosPlane]

@ClassicalMusicReview Not only THAT, but it sounds cool, too.

[gabogenio7]
