Say what you will about Christianity, but it has, without a doubt, produced some of the most moving and uplifting music the world has ever heard. You can almost forgive all the atrocities committed in the name of the church while listening to this stuff. Almost.
@TheWoodencrow - What "atrocities committed in the name of the church"? They were committed by evil men doing evil by DIS-obeying the Church's law. Never mind that some were clerics. Clerics can sin, too, you know. The Commandment forbids murder or atrocity. Those who breach it are no true followers of the Church. And never forget that the greatest mass murders were committee last century by atheists who hated religion.
@Jacobitejim Evil done by men claiming to be good. Evil done using the authority of god by wicked men. It doesn'\t matter whether or not they truly believed in God, or whether or not they knew it was wrong to use his name to justify thier actions. Inquisitions, crusades, the Salem witch trials, can you truly say the suffering and death caused in God's name was pleasing to Him? Catholic Dogma has a lot to answer for.
@TheWoodencrow - Your position lacks logic. Evil men can present themselves as good in order to do evil. You, for example. Evil men doing so in God's name are more evil still and clearly not pleasing to God. But you make the false leap of assuming the very thing you have to prove, namely that they were FOLLOWING not DEPARTING from Catholic dogma by so doing. That they were departing from it is obvious to all but a fool. And Salem was not Catholic. It was anti-Catholic. Get your facts straight.
@Jacobitejim I said the Salem witch trials were performed in God's name, not in the name of the Catholic Church. It is when men strive to destroy evil instead of doing good that they perpetuate that evil. I would have elaborated further, but I'm lazy and there's a character limit. In the fractured landscape of modern religion there are MANY extremist ideologies that have a lot to answer for, and many old traditions that need to be examined more closely.
@TheWoodencrow - Your words implied that Salem was Catholic. But you are right about one thing: you are lazy. You do zero research and so your facts are simply wrong. Indeed, they are dishonest. Nazism was evil and we had no choice but to destroy it. Was that evil? Of course not, provided just means were used. But you say that to oppose evil is evil. Your position is simply incoherent, lazy and ill-thought out.
@TheWoodencrow - You also demonstrate ignorance of both crusades and inquisitions. The crusades were a defensive war against the invasion of Christian lands by militant, extreme Islam. Asia Minor was Christian then and was invaded, in an unprovoked attack, by militan Islam. The principle of defence was therefore just. That some evil men tried to divert parts of the crusades for their own gain was evil, contrary to Catholic teaching, condemned by the popes and highly displeasing to God.
@TheWoodencrow - As to the inquisition, the Roman Inquisition was the mildest tribunal in human history and did not put to death a single person. The Spanish Inquisition, on the other hand, was an arm of the state and did, effectively, execute some but only after trial and due process. Indeed, the inquisitions introduced new legal norms that we now take for granted e.g. a right to counsel. The Pope condemned it as a misuse by the state of an ecclesiastical court. CONT.
@TheWoodencrow - Nevertheless, less than 350 were executed over its whole period of 350 years. That is far less than the state of Texas which, with a comparable propulation, executes an average of 14 per year. And the Spanish state was threatened from without by militant Islam which had ocupied Spain for 800 years, and from within by underground movements determined to overthow it. Given the threats it is not surprising that Queen Isabella made use of what she could to defend her country.
@Jacobitejim By executed I assume you mean "Tried and found guilty". This doesn't take into account those who died while under investigation or as a result of conditions during detention for questioning. That's also not counting those who survived and were released but were maimed or traumatised by the experience. The inquisition wasn't about deaths, it was about violation of basic human rights.
@TheWoodencrow - Tried and found guilty, yes. As for the rest of your claims, please provide the proof for your accusations. The evidence is against you and shows that, by the standards of the times, their procedure was far fairer and more enlightened. You are peddling out-dated propaganda, not historical truth. If you want violation of basic human rights then you will need to look more to the 20th century and particularly to the horror and mass murder by atheists. Get your facts straight.
@TheWoodencrow - And you won't forget, will you, that Thomas Tallis was, himself, a Roman Catholic? Nor that he was in no doubt that his religious faith inspired his music as it did his equally Roman Catholic pupil, William Byrd. Draw your own conclusions.
@Jacobitejim I never said the Catholic Church wasn't responsible for some of the most beautiful music in the world. It is. If there is one thing the Catholic Church has always had, it's a sense of grandeur and magesty. Unfortunately it simply doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to politics and dealing with percieved threats to it's stability.
@TheWoodencrow As a side note, nothing I say will change your mind, and the same can be said for me. Religious debate only strengthens the previously held positions of the debaters.
@TheWoodencrow - Atheists are far more bigoted. They are filled with blind hatred based on ignorance. What you have said so far would convince no-one since it is merely self-serving and lazy propaganda without a shred of evidence, reason or logic. If you want to persuade people then you have to have evidence and reason and you have none, only bigotry and lazy ignorance. So you really cannot expect anyone to take you seriously, let alone be persuaded.
@TheWoodencrow - And if you have nothing better to contribute than your self-serving, lazy and ignorant propaganda, then don't bother. Just sit and listen to the music written by committed members of the Church you love to hate.
@TheWoodencrow - You do not prove your point by merely asserting your own ignorant statements. The Church's record in politics is one of the best in the world and vastly better than the brutal horror of atheist politics. For example, look at the Church's record in abolishing slavery, in containing financial exploitation of the poor, in holding corrupt political leaders to account, and the long line of social teaching encyclicals defending the rights of the oppressed. Get your facts straight.
Amazingly beautiful! The words taken from Bible (as sung here) point to the promise of sending of Holy Spirit and that has been visualized as tender flames or something (also from Bible) on top of their heads. The background and time of day chosen and so on and on is so perfectly beautiful as well! Thank you!
This is the music you hear when on your way to heaven - all religions and the video is of souls on their way. May God bless the faithful departed; May they rest in peace.
Our choir sang this song this year, it was one of the most challenging, beautiful, and inspiring song I have ever sung in a choir before, pure divine gift of music, yet so simple. I cannot listen enough
Oh Tallis so wonderful i just love him with the bottom of my hollow soul. When i think of him he fills me up like nector in my juicy cracks. He makes me think of my mama and how we used to live and plough the fields...how things have changed!!!!! Almost greater than the lord himself, im sure he was of Nazareth brotherhood.
Oh, Mon Dieu! Il n'y a pas de mots qui me viennent à l'esprit dans n'importe quelle langue que ce soit pour exprimer la beauté de cette interprétation!
God bless Tallis!
Thank you for post it! And sorry that I don't find my word in English..
Ok - I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll look like a complete idiot soon enough by saying it again - this is an incredible video, and I am so Proud to have it on my Favorite Shorts Blog.
It's a "music video" of sorts, and my Blog is for Short films, but...
this one qualifies. And really it's SO good in my opinion, that it is almost
@northb100 : it's available for purchase. I think it's still in print. If not, check on Amazon.com or else where. This is the best recording of this piece in my opinion.
This beautiful song must be perfectlin sung, if in a little choir someone makes a mistake immediatly one can notice it. Tenor voice in note fa is very diffcult to sing in low volume. But every time I hear this version i fell like crying
I do wonder if Rachmaninov got any influence from Tallis's choral works. Compare the beginning of this piece of music and the beginning of Rachmaninov's Rejoice, O Virgin. If you think theres no caprison there its probably just me, but the harmonies used in Tallis's choral works I find are very alike to the harmonies used in Romantic Choral Works (slow movements).
@steve10005 sorry i meant romantic RUSSIAN Music like Rachmaninov (there may be slow choral music in the Romantic period which is not russian that sounds alike)
alto's need to b louder. i'm an alto, i would know cuz my instructor's always telling us to b louder, but sometimes singing in that range loudly is difficult.
Shall we perhaps just concentrate on the music, dears?
