Requiem Mass in D minor - Lacrimosa

[irishblood1998]

this was the last song motzart ever made and he didnt get to finish it either

[Mendez8006]

to think this was one of his last pieces of music before he died. from what it sounds, it feels like he knew....

[TheGreatkid55]

I used to be a musical legend. Then I took an arrow in the knee...

[bader68]

Yes I dreams whit this music is a real peerless

Requiem Mass in D minor, KV 626 - Lacrimosa.

[Kozakie1]

Anyone else remember hearing this in Hey Arnold?

[SimplyDavid42]

THIS is expression in the music. Any of the R&B, Rock, Metal or other stuff we listen to nowadays will be able to reach such a power.

[TheBlueberryOne]

@SimplyDavid42 each period, each style of music

Now I can die peacefully.

Oh. the last piece. it is like mozart was really ready to die here.. and will take a long journey upstairs..

[bogdanvut]

This Is the muisc that lived on and will live on for sencuries. NOT Lady gu gu Ga Ga.

[TheCalcuttan]

@bogdanvut And your spelling of centuries shall be laughed at for aeons.

[ttclsp]

@bogdanvut hahahaha, this is just precious.... You can't really prove that lady Gaga won't be around for centuries.

This will be, assuming i read your statement correctly;

This Is the muisc [music] that lived on and will live on for sencuries [Centuries]. NOT Lady gu gu Ga Ga [Lady Gaga].

I'm sure there is a reason that The Beatles is still being played, half a century later. Classic music isn't the only kind of music with class....

[khmoney2021]

@bogdanvut She will actually, I have my suspicions that she is a beta version BTX-300 Cyborg. I think the power cell in them has about a 5000 year charge.

Who dislikes Mozart? Seriously?

[KmBdstudios]

This video should say 'no description available'.

[Fenkuro]

Well,Mozart was asked to make a piece of music,this one by a man all dressed in black a black mask and all,he said he would pay for the piece but Mozart never finished it cause of his death.At age 35.Well,it was said that this song was that to be his funeral music,creepy in a way huh?

[Altoclarinets]

@Fenkuro do not confuse the legend used for the movie amadeus with researched fact

Hey, we gay people can appreciate classical music too.

[Adamgrinwald]

"mind if I do a J?"

[fanofclassic]

Lacrimosa (lat., „die Tränenreiche“) .Ich spüre förmlich den Schmerz, die Trauer die ihn (Mozart) befällt in jungen Jahren zu sterben. Dieses Genie hat im Angesicht des Todes eines seiner größten Meisterwerke geschaffen. Ich gestehe und schäme mich nicht, stets bei den ersten Takten schon nah der Tränen zu sein. Auf jeden Fall berührt mich dieses in Todesahnung komponierte Rquiem.

[TheFunkadelicFan]

I used to like Motorhead, now I'm deaf.

[Sergeyufa1]

Очень хорошее исполнение

[bluehorse221]

LMao!.....It's the most exquisite piece of music...no matter who wrote it!

[TheLeon96Ahuel]

it's completely beautiful !!

[Lampodoria]

Mozart ist ein Gottesbeweis

[ksmallshm]

mind if i do a j?

[valerianastasia]

Nunca le habia prestado atencion a la musica clasica, pero ayer cuidando un bebe desidi colocar en youtube ''musica estimulante para bebes'' y me aparecieron muchas de mozart y luego fui buscando mas y mas y me encantaron supe la vida de mozart y beethoven :) y saben que me encantan despues de haberlas encontrado tan fome y sin sentido ESTO SI ES MUSICA :) creo que los jóvenes de mi edad no saben apreciar la buena musica

[xXxMySweetChannelxXx]

@valerianastasia Una verdadera lástima que ignoren ésta música jóvenes de nuestras edades.

[TheALB2]

5 dislikes?how?

[SuperSkeletonGirl]

Finally I found a version that's not so long.

[SunStrokeCactus]

gj

[Darkangelrock92]

Vivaldi, Bach, Wagner, Beethoven and Mozart are all masters of classical music ! Its beautiful and very inspiring! People should listen to it even more than just now and then!

[Ninjababy37]

What exactly is a lacrimosa? o.0

[JoanatNo29]

@Ninjababy37 'A lacrimosa', as you put it, is just one part of the latin Mass for the Dead, the words set by many composers as a 'Requiem'. I believe it translates as 'Ah, what weeping' - lacrima = tears.

[MontajBlaze]

I don't like Mozart for the most part(there are many people who I know that don't even listen to his music, and they just repeat what they've been told "Mozart's the BEST!"), but I will say, some of his more somber pieces(like this one) are great. His work has always been more Hit and Miss than "always great", but this is one of those "Hits"

[maBiteraOnline]

His own Requiem piece ended up for his own death.

[peeses6]

@maBiteraOnline

at least he worked it as long as he had time. I just resently started to understand how beautiful his music is.

[commaqwat]

Mind if I light up a J?

[thermotheo]

These geniuses are what made civilization great. To hell with the future, we're never going to perfect on pieces like this. All fans of this piece were born at least 150 years too late. SHEER BRILLIANCE.

[TheViolaMaestro]

So sad that Wolfgang wasn't around to even finish his own Requiem. He must've truly been a geinus. I'd love to have known him

[powwowgmxde]

I consider this the best work of music of mankind.

And thats an understatement.

[MrTitle777]

I read something that may help: Sussmeyer and Mozart were friends; it is said that he was with Mozart on the last day of his life. I think it was Mozarts wife Constanze who asked Süßmayr to finish the work, Süßmayr worked with Mozart before and was tasked with writing the recitatives for the opera La clemenza di tito. He understood Mozart i think, but didn't copy his style right off. The criticism he recieved for the addition of the Requiem was just that it broke off to much with Mozarts style.

[musixluver891]

i want to download this song on my iPod its mind blowing

[zarbar2]

This stuff is brilliant!

[blacktigerpaw1]

So beautiful...this music is beyond the words of epic.

[UnionKid15]

Thanks a lot for posting this.

[fandejp05]

This song has been used by "Simpsons" in an episode where Mozart is Bart...

While Bart die, Matt Groening has used this requiem from 02:00... At 02:00, Homer screams "Mozart died !". I love this moment ...

[Nesoja]

I dont understand this. He didnt finish this piece but yet it sounds like it has a legit ending. I know musicians took it over and made an ending,but at what part does mozarts music stop,and the others begin?

[thelightisahead]

@Nesoja

This is Sussmayer's completion. According to my own score:

The vocal part up to 00:48 is Mozart.

The violins and violas up to only 00:13 (when the voices come in) are Mozart.

All the other instruments that come in before 00:48 are Sussmayer EVERYTHING after 00:48 is Sussmayer too - kinda disappointing isn't it?!

[Nesoja]

@thelightisahead Yes it is. I cant help but imagine what this piece SHOULD sound like

Thanks for your help

[AndreLucLevesque]

@thelightisahead yeah i agree this my favorite piece from mozart and last year in musical literature i learn that Sussmayer was the main composer of this and i was so disapointed to learn that mozart didn't write the quarter of this. kind of sad from my point of view.

[AndreLucLevesque]

@thelightisahead yeah i agree this my favorite piece from mozart and last year in musical literature i learn that Sussmayer was the main composer of this and i was so disapointed to learn that mozart didn't write the quarter of this. kind of sad from my point of view.

[thomas211984]

@thelightisahead Thing is, I think that if Mozart had no imput into the vocals after 00:48, which for me is when it becomes truely mindblowing and dark.. Then this tune isn't a disappointment, but a sorrowful expression by Sussmeyer about the sad tale of Mozarts death.. As I don't know that to be the truth, the tune to me still remains a masterpiece:) Great info though, thanks:)

[targetrich]

@thelightisahead Well no it's not disappointing. Firstly, if my dog had written it, it would still be a stunningly beautiful piece of music. Secondly, your analysis is wrong anyway.

[thelightisahead]

@targetrich

Thanks for the polite reply... I was looking up the information in my score. If you believe it to be wrong, take up the matter with Dover Publications.

[jetzt0844]

@targetrich

Perfect expression: "... if my dog had written it, it would still be a stunningly beautiful piece of music. "

[Fa11enAngell]

@targetrich that was so completely and utterly rude of you, thelightis.ahead was only trying to answer your question! What the heck is your problem?

[cRaZyGiRlGoNeMaD]

@targetrich he's not saying it's not beautiful, it's absolutely breathtaking. i think he just meant that it's kinda dissappointing that so little was actually mozart (although even i must say that it surely can't be that little written by mozart)

[tehen162]

@thelightisahead Süssmayr was following Mozart's instructions how to completing the Requiem. Mozart left detailed guideline how to end it, Süssmayr did not go his own way.

[fatkidjoe69]

@thelightisahead I want to vomit on you for informing me of that.

[polishdrummer]

@Nesoja his music does resolve in a manner that blows all ideas of harmony away.

[Doika86]

@Nesoja officially mozart's part lasts untile the 9th bar, (0:50) but there is strong evidence/reason to suspect that Sussmayr didnt write all the rest by himself, he probably received some sort of hint from the master before he died.

There's no other way to explain the UTTER PERFECTION with whom this score was completed. I personally dont believe that his pupil could have finished the piece better than mozart himself would have

[jctman1]

@Nesoja he didn't finish because he died while working on it.

[link123187]

@Nesoja A Requiem consists of 20 parts. This is part 7. He got to part 14 before he passed.

[TheMeanerKitty]

@Nesoja Yes, Mozart died while working on this part of the Requiem, but his wife gave it to Mozart's best student, who finished the piece based on the sketches done by Mozart. Therefore, the student finished the piece based on Mozart's design.

[Smokesomechronic]

@Nesoja 0:57 - last Mozart's notes

[SarahB360]

@Smokesomechronic Yeah, the moment the music loses it's haunting... ness? Can really tell the difference between the composers.

[finnhumble]

@Nesoja you know this is a very small exert from a large piece, the entire piece is around 50 minutes long, and this is around 25 minutes into the piece

[Zoltar555]

@finnhumble Yes this is a piece of bigger requiem. Requiem was a term for post mortem mass for deceased person(s). It was given in very specific form. Big music composers in past used to create music for such purpose, named Requiems. Some music is for general purpose, while others are written for particular important and powerful person. I even think, this Mozart's masterpiece was composed for someone, however he died before finishing it.

[stuffmansss]

That's where the great flowering of European culture. And what now? We degrade culturally and spiritually.

[Biancapanzram]

...Some believe that it was Antonio Salieri who killed Mozart...Poisoning him slowly, with arsenic...until he finally died...(Salieri was a jealous rival Composer, from Italy)...

...I PERSONALLY believe that Mozart was a being who was unlike other humans...and that he was sent to Earth to share his brilliance quickly, and then left us...That explains for me why he was so amazing and from such a young age...

...(from "Blade Runner") "the star that burns half as long burns twice as bright"

[Biancapanzram]

@getsbent ...What are you talking about?...Mozart was not deaf...

[Jackpotxx]

Im playing this at my funeral

[Chintiki16]

@Jackpotxx then i will assist your funeral

[beethoven2351]

To hear the Lacrimosa live in concert is to experience the best that music has to offer. No recording can give it justice.

[Oforikue]

its a pity he never got to finish it, i like Death Metal but this is better than anything i have ever heard

[Oforikue]

its a pity he never got to finish it

[Chunderbawz]

God, take Justin Beiber and give us back Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.

[CharlieOnTheNet]

Hey, Mozart didn't go deaf. He was an alcoholic which eventually lead to his death and that's why this piece is so passionate! He was breaking down, smoking and drinking was becoming his addiction and he wasn't making much money either at this point. Unfortunately the requiem didn't get finished although it does represent what was going on in his life at the time :) Hope this helped clear it up!

[tehen162]

@CharlieOnTheNet No, he was not an alcoholic. He worked a lot, he could not have composed so many in such a short period if he had lead such a lifestyle. Kidney failure or rheumatic fever might lead to his death according to the newest researches.

[PTheodore33]

Deafness aside...both artists are in a different category of greatness.

[tubehows4life]

I'm ignorant as to what "bars" are. Can someone pinpoint at what time in this video 8 bars finish (i.e, when Mozart's writing stopped) please?

[Chizzy941]

@tubehows4life if its in 3/4 the 8 bar 'into.' finishes at 0:12

[powwowgmxde]

best piece of music ever to be made

[getsbent]

YEH sorry i was meaning Beethoven should have been more clear In my typing ! I think Beethoven doesnt get enough credit FOr his Works And been deaf towards the end aswell BUt still wrote ON ! THat amazes me ANd shows his skill HOwever Mozart Music is THe Best Music I have ever Heard !

[biggtroy101]

Song is awesome but dude is creepy looking!!

[getsbent]

mozart he was the best > I thought he wrote twinkle tw little star when he was 4 or did a composition I dont know ! BUt Can yu imagine been totally deaf and what HE still wrote IS Mindblowing ! WHy cant people appreciate things for what they are !!!!

[thelightisahead]

@getsbent

He wrote his first compositions at four. As for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, it's a myth that he wrote that - the melody is French, but he did write variations on it, in his early twenties I think...

[LifeisforGuitar]

@getsbent mozart wasnt deaf....

[bryceflorek1]

@getsbent

i think you're mixing him up with beethoven.  mozart was not deaf.

[rynmc86]

Mozart was good, but you are thinking of Beethoven when you are speaking about a composer who was deaf. I'm not trying to be a jerk just letting you know.

[topramenkid234]

@getsbent Beethoven was deaf

[ElWrobel]

@getsbent It was Beethoven who was totally deaf -.-

[SnowboardAssassin]

@getsbent Mozart wasn't deaf, that was Beethoven.

[olive897]

@getsbent Your thinking of Beethoven.

[bflaherty03]

@getsbent  Mozart wasn't deaf, Beethoven was

[Johann697]

@getsbent moron, mozart was not the one that was deaf

that was beethoven and even so beethoven developed his deafness as he grew older

mozart was just incredible talented beyond anyones wildest dreams

he played for an empress when he was only five

sorry for the bluntness, but thats just a stupid mixup to make

[Muradski]

@Johann697 When listening to Mozart it is as if he could SEE music...

[halloween159x]

@getsbent Uhh Mozart wasn't Deaf, your thinking of Beethoven o3o

[whitepeoplearestupid]

@getsbent im pretty sure you know that he wasn't deaf.

[multimorshu96]

@getsbent He wasn't deaf, that was Beethoven

[multimorshu96]

He Wasn't Deaf, That Was Beethoven

[multimorshu96]

@getsbent He wasn't deaf

[multimorshu96]

@getsbent Mozart wasn't deaf

[resirvoirdog94]

@getsbent Beethoven was deaf, Mozart was not. they're still great composers though

[codmw2haloreachyeah]

@getsbent Mozart doesn't get deaf, Beethoven is the one.

[emlysteeby]

@getsbent ....MOZART WASN'T DEAF. that's beethoven, you idiot...

[lucioscp]

@getsbent He was a genius but he wasn´t deaf whatever his life was a constant struggle and full off passion

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@getsbent ... but Mozart wasn't deaf...

[Mishik77]

@getsbent He wasn`t deaf by thr way ... It was Bethove

n

[n2brideau]

@getsbent It was Beethoven who went deaf but continued to compose. Mozart was a fascinatingly beautiful composer and I would love to have spent an evening jamming with him over a bottle of brandy.

[MrKafziel]

@getsbent he wasn't deaf, that was Ludwig Von Beethoven and only near the end

[julianthebest11]

in my opinion Bach is the greatest composer. there wouldn't be Mozart today if it wasn't for Bach, Mozart studied his music and in ways got his styles from Bach

[lusiplushy94]

@julianthebest11 I don't agree. Their music is completely different and because of that we can't even compare them. Yes, he studied Bach's music, but he also developed his own unique style, which people started recognizing and still recognize. ;)

[BrokenCross88]

@getsbent um Mozart was not totally deaf, you have him confused with Beethoven.

[88beyondthegrave88]

@getsbent

dude, mozart wasn't deaf. That was Beethoven lol

[88beyondthegrave88]

@getsbent

dude, Mozart wasn't deaf. That was Beethoven lol

[fireflames57]

@88beyondthegrave88

lmfao whenever my teacher hears someone say that she calls them a dingbat xD and complete imbesoles in her head :D

[Darkangelrock92]

@88beyondthegrave88 I know, even its incredible that Beethoven still made good music i mean for being deaf !!

[Oriente7]

@88beyondthegrave88 Lol I had to question my self for a second there...

[TheFullmoonTraveller]

@88beyondthegrave88 But I think Mozart was the one to cut his ear and offer it to his girlfriend? I have heard it somewhere but I am not sure if a.it is true b.it is him....

[thelightisahead]

@TheFullmoonTraveller

I believe that was Vincent van Gogh

[gowolx]

@getsbent

Beethoven was the deaf one.. ur confused

[berndsenna]

@88beyondthegrave88

beethoven wasn't born deaf, he became deaf in his later life

[adcahela]

@getsbent .......Mozart wasn't deaf, you are thinking of Beethoven.........

[186mjn]

@getsbent Haha. Behtoven was the deaf one, and from all the negative comments towards you I'm sure you won't forget it.

[lolekjr]

@getsbent Mozart wasn't totally deaf... maybe your thinking of Beethoven

[MFPalubaJr]

@getsbent Mozart wasn't deaf. You're thinking of Beethoven.

[Izraphel]

@getsbent beethoven ended up being deaf, not mozart...

[redbrian3655]

@getsbent Beethoven was deaf.. not Mozart.

[mohrbr]

@getsbent Mozart was not deaf (he could have been there is just no written recored ) but he did write this when he was very sick and going through financial criss so its still impressive that he was able to write anything

[Joaquin602001]

@getsbent - Actually, Beethoven was the deaf one. =P

[Kallides23]

@getsbent Mozart was not deaf mate. You are confusing it with Beethoven who started loosing his hearing at the age of 30 and then eventually became completely deaf.

Mozart will forever remain one of the greatest musical Prodigy's to walk the Earth.

[Jakk325]

@getsbent Beethoven was deaf, You got the wrong composer, But all the while, i completely agree with what you are saying

[yyzable]

@getsbent it was beethoven who went deaf.

[MarMar123Mo]

@getsbent

Mozart was NOT deaf. It was Beethoven!!!!! Just saying:)

[slipkornyy]

@getsbent Mozart was not deaf. Thats Bethoven..

[TheLeon96Ahuel]

@getsbent What???

[SqueezyCornbread]

@getsbent

Mozart wasn't deaf, Beethoven was. But Mozart was amazing, nevertheless.

[Uccellowade]

@getsbent Mozart wasn't deaf. That was Beethoven. Damn.

[1337kamikaze]

@getsbent Wow, you are dumb. Mozart WAS NOT DEAF. That's Beethoven. FFS. Neither of which were ever COMPLETELY deaf. Especially Mozart.

[biggibolla]

@1337kamikaze chill out man, but beethoven was almost completely deaf around 1817

[nevann19]

beautiful song terrific song

amazing, lovely, celestial

[juancsalas1]

Esta es una de las piezas más hermosas de este gran musico

[FlawLeSsxx38]

Mozart was Beethoven's inspiration

[jasdeviel]

Gahhhhhh I just love how that violin just cuts through it all.... Such a smple one single note makes all the difference in this piece LOVE it despite how much controversy surrounds Lacrimosa

[NakedSuit]

No doubt Mozart is amongst the best and finest ever (So is Beethoven and Bach etc...). Today's music simply does not compare at all. It is a lost art to create such powerful music.

[wild1033]

big lebowski.

[ciaotomese]

Strong men also cry...



[RisingOfThePhoenixx]

@ciaotomese How right you are.... I thought men who cry was some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

[KarlNerman]

And let me add, that there is no point in comparing Mozart and Beethoven. Or atleast if you do so, remember WHO you are talking about - they are both the best of the best, and will always be.

[TheGloryfighter1000]

this some gangster shit

[artzoom101]

the greatest composer ever...

[DjAotaka]

Mozart president !!!

[tokyopanda13]

Gorgeous.....

[TheRainingSoul]

This piece is so EPIC. You can feel the drama and the sadness...

[XCutePupa]

I was only singing that , and I randomly click on this song XD

[CHGAnews]

@undeadsoldier66

Mozart doesn't even compare to beethoven. He may have been a psychotic composer who broke three grand pianos or some other number but his 23rd piano sonata is possibly the greatest sounding production throughout each and every note from start to finish that your hair is standing on end in all three movements. I realize that Mozart's requiem and other notable pieces gave him profound fame but he doesn't have any business being judged next to beethoven.

@CHGAnews Beethoven basically worshipped Mozart, and he would never claim he was better than the great Wolfgang. Beethovens 5th symphony was more or less based on Mozart's 40th. When Beethoven was 17 he went to Vienna to try to get in touch with Mozart, to learn from him.Beethoven was an avid performer of Mozart's works, and he loved his piano concertos.I agree that Beethoven was the best when it came to piano sonatas - but as a whole Mozart was even greater.Mozarts "Jupiter" remains unrivaled.
