Arvo Pärt - Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten - Datenverarbeiter Video

[multikaliblik]

I think I know now what's it's like to be transported into other places in my mind whilst listening to music.

[Sawyervilleman]

Wow... 

[KeksiiCool]

The music is wonderful, I don´t know, which words I can take for it! It´s , It´s extraordinary, perfect, I remeber me on one moment, so I cried , when I heard this, Also we had this in the School I love It! I am speechless!

[MRsuperSexyNumberOne]

brilliant use of pan diatonic harmony

[IdaFranziska]

We heard that piece in music lesson last Tuesday.

Usually, nobody listens really to those pieces of music our teacher presents us, but this time something was different.

everybody was listening. no one spoke. and afterwards, we couldn't speak for half an hour.

it was indescribable.

[LPflapjack]

@IdaFranziska I saw it being performed live today by the ulster orchestra. it also carried a huge impact even the musicians, in particular the conductor seemed to change.

[GoBills4Evr]

Help me. I can't stop listening to this.

[hektorforever]

I know Arvo Pärt. He is a wonderful, amazing intelligent and philosophical Man. I had the chance, that he became my, google translator translated it in this way, confirmation attestor. When he spoked about one of his Music, I was nearly about to cry. He is the most wonderful man I ever met.

[boomawaaaang]

My dance teacher choreagraphed a piece on this for a show. It was meant to be about how quickly your life can change, and how you couldnt get what they wanted. The inspiration? An alumni was almost killed in a car crash and at that time, they werent sure whether hed live or not.

[Thatmetaldude590]

I am... Speechless. Basically speechless. Thank you for uploading this magnificent song! This is an artist I must support. Album purchase next.

[TheCanto007]

Un seul mot MAGNIFIQUE.

[NOSFERATUalu]

1:40 is the harmonic that really got me some goosebumps

[keyboardbeats]

4 people do not know what real music is

[skyerune]

@TyRYANasaurus If you haven't already, check out Benjamin Britten. His music is different, also beautiful, mysterious, genius, and not well known.

[skyerune]

@dobrotajelepota This is actually a piece written in deep personal sadness for the passing of one of those human beings. It's a celebration of humanity's genius, not a outcry against it.

[byksEBM]

TWO WORDS... SOOTHING.

[Rossco242]

I was house-sitting for some friends a couple of years ago and was playing this on their stereo. The music finished but I could still hear the bell tolling. I assumed the CD was still playing until I realised that the bell was coming from outside. I left the house and discovered that a funeral was taking place nearby. It was a chilling and beautiful moment.

[melodiouscanopies]

so good its painful

[rococoness]

I discovered Arvo thanks to Bjork ;o; I AM so glad i found Arvo!

[lebannerfan65]

I'm playing three instances of this video at the same time, randomly. Such depth....

[friulano]

Don't look at the images,just listen to' the music,it

[gaelleman]

How people can dislike this?

[dilutedembreo1]

The four soulless beings who dislike this have to be the most ignorant people on tonight the earth....

[TurkeyJones91]

1st time listening to this. when it was over i said "holy shit that was good."

[Inkan1969]

Without a doubt, the saddest music ever composed.

[NFSHeld]

We've analysed this piece in musical education. It's an super-easy structure (best look at the Wikipedia article). If that piece was not create though a pre-defined scheme how the notes are ordered, but was created with the notes arranged after he knew it'd sound good, then Arvo Pärt is a mastermind and genius of music. I can't believe such strict rules on how to order the notes result in such a beatiful piece.

[KleePietro]

If you like this great music try also Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, the Soundtrack of "Thin Red Line"and Larry Fast (Keyboard) among other.

[LloydCello]

wonderful



[juliusbrahms]

sounds like Da Vinci Code OST

[keizerkeisuke54]

this perfectly captures human sorrow. I think everyone can relate to this, if not they have hearts of iron

[srobe261]

how long 'til the singin' starts?

[bolderiks]

@srobe261 it already happened if you had the brains.

[rahele21]

What was I doing before Arvo part?????was that music I was listening to???Arvo Part gives a new meaning to music,,,,I had just discovered him and feel ashamd of not have known him till now,,,,,,,,,,Brilliance....Bea­uty and excellence in tenderness of music...

[MrGravito]

serait-il d'appartenance Pinkfloydienne,voire Mansetienne?

[MrGravito]

C'est...effroyablement triste, beau et enivrant!

[MrGravito]

J'ai decouvert ce morceau en 1988 mais...je ne trouve aucun mot pour un quelconque commentaire.C'est...stupéfiant­!

[shpadoinkle12]

This piece nearly drove me to tears the first time I heard it. It's simultaneously one of the simplest and most powerfully haunting pieces I've ever heard.

[JennaGwenna]

the most beautiful things in life are those which are the most simple. Thank you, Arvo Pärt, for this simple beauty.

[SrNutritivo]

3 are not human

[Fanghthedark]

This... This is too beautiful to be real. I feel every part of me is going somewhere else. Arvo, why I don't knew you before...

[stretch654]

I heard this music while watching a movie called "Mother Night" (a good film). The protagonist, Nick Nolte, a burnt out spy, walks along a busy street and just stops. He discovers that he has no reason to move in any direction and just stands there while people walk around him. Quite a moving scene.

[Silenceless]

@sjordo1 If you are already this open minded I think your musical future will be rich.

[NytestrykerZ]

Captivating. The sorrow just bleeds through. I'm very glad I researched this.

[thomasthomtithom]

@sjordo1 You still have time to change! :)

[MrMotastic]

One might suggest that Arvo Pärt is perhaps one of the better composers of the 21st century.

[zorzor777]

This music literally puts a film off your brain run so intense, that you'll drop your tea. But you will not notice, until the tea is cold, and the burning has healed...

[lebannerfan65]

I don't experience sadness per se, when listening to this piece, but more a sense of longing for what has been lost and the realisation that it is and will all be okay. In a word, acceptance, bittersweet acceptance.

[MrMarkhughes22]

Its a Canon.... A beautiful canon.

[playingmusiconmars]

This is the soundtrack to the world falling apart. Introduced by the tender hit of a bell a storm of grief destroys everything. Beautiful.

The technical aspect behind this piece is also very interesting. Pärt brings back the old habits of the mensural canon in a new disguise. Studying this piece not only brings out your emotions by listening to it but also sharpens your mind by analyzing its structure.

[amatorynumber]

try opening two windows with the cantus at different times and let them play. It is actually even better. Pärt would approve! :-D

[stonix1992]

30 minutes after it i still feel left and empty

[YamahaR6Racer93]

This song is actually really simple...

[ulybaZZa]

@YamahaR6Racer93 Yes, and that is why it's so powerful.

[staelensjozef]

arvo part is one off the best composers now i think, i love his work,!!!!

[onlylexus]

@TyRYANasaurus My heart goes out to you, to have lived until now without Arvo part's music in your life is certainly a loss. But Oh God! to have never discovered him would have been tragic indeed. I know how his music makes you feel, I feel it also. Remember those that will not have our privelege, not to experience the deep mystery, serenity of that rare, bleak, sad, and yet uplifting, somehow silent blissful heaven. Now you have Part in your life, let him act on your soul, his music is truth.

[OtherRoadProductions]

I don't find this like a crying piece. I find it intense

[Pedossaurus]

Strangely, this don't make me cry. Don't know why... Stangely, because are so many comments reporting that and in my channel ther's a whole of... 'crying' songs. I fell peace when I listen Arvo's music... Don't know why... Its a beautiful sadness, Iguess.

[skipmendler]

Beautifully done, and perfectly appropriate in the imagery & pacing

[Melizarra3]

Most mournful... yet so beautiful.

[Prunella304]

this feels like the end of the world

[robotwookie]

Oh my God is this amazing...

[QMPhilosophe]

A wonderful piece by a wonderful composer for a wonderful composer. The music (and video) is emotionally overwhelming.

[AgenteSmith93]

lugubre.



[AgenteSmith93]

Lugubre. brrr!

[backlars]

Jag säger Grängesberg. Cassels donation. 1991 och Bergslagens symfoniorkester. En favorit. Här finns bara en sats med, lyssna på hela!!!

[88qiflow]

@myiuer

this music shoul be in the headphones of soldiers or people with weapons in the hands worldwide...

befor they push the button...or shout...

i think 99% could no more shout and take someonce life so easely...

hope we human get it one day...

i work for it...lost my cousin a few days ago...died..on a broken heart...

..soul greetings to you where ever you are...

[dimamord]

@88qiflow We dont consider taking someones life lightly so please dont think it was easy for us to do what we do at times.

[qiflow88]

dim w.youtube.com/watch?v=-eD_Lo61­rAw&feature=related

how do you realy find this laughing..and this comment from one guy:

That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. It was so beautiful that it caused a clear and salty liquid to flow from my eyes. Thank you for this video. Will there be a sequel or perhaps a trilogy?

a nice comment for a video wow..a heart melt down to stone.you are o.k..a lot good boys killed herself after irak, or get mental sick,because they kill

[mogyesz9]

@88qiflow

Soldiers know they taking someones life, much more than you, speaking behind from a screen and preaching. They dont pull the trigger for the sake of killing, they do it for you, so that you can live a high quality life and pretend you know what is good and bad after listening some music.

[GodLovinConservative]

@88qiflow I'm a soldier and I love this song. Although, I've never listened to it while engaging enemies. I would shoot while listening to this because I know my adversary is determined to kill me and my comrades. 1-138th IR 30th ID ARNG. It is beautiful music though. My favorite song to say the least.

[GodisMusic21]

@myiuer beautifully said

[INSANEBOUNCER]

Moving piece of music!

[TheSilverDubber]

Stunning piece!

[peteklat]

One of the most distinctive voices of the late 20th century.

[speekless]

@TyRYANasaurus I wouldn't call it pathetic, just beautiful ;)

[MisAnnThorpe]

What does it say about the world we live in when talentless fools like Robbie Williams and Jay Z are put on pedestals, whilst the vast majority of people have no idea who Arvo Part is? How utterly depressing

[ghonik]

@MisAnnThorpe because nobody knows what music really is, hence can't solve which is better... that's also why commercial (popular) musicians rule. But yes... depressing indeed

[youtubeuserwilly]

Don't get depressed about it--be happy that you know the difference. Pop music is like fashion--is anyone wearing the clothes that went flying off the rack for big bucks 10 years ago? Yes they make the money, but we make the music.

[MisAnnThorpe]

@youtubeuserwilly To my mind, there is an immediacy to good popular music that is really very hard to beat. Gershwin's "Summertime" for example. However, it's becoming harder and harder to find nowadays. I suspect that at best, in 100 years time the number of Beatles songs still being listened to will be countable on the digits of a captured v flicking English archer! You are of course correct in what you say. Fashion's fleeting whereas style is permanent.

[stachanow27]

Ta muzyka dobrze odzwieciedla tragizm. Odpowiedni dobrane obrazy.

[mariavegaperez]

Thank you very much...music´s soul...

[arasharfa]

the best piece he's ever written.

[takvoto]

I've discovered Arvo's music in 2000 and since then, his music is discovering me over and over again.

The most joyfull music I've ever heard.

[RX1603]

one of the most primitve compostions, and yet so powerful . i absolutely love this masterpiece.

[EDUARDOHOCOHUOC]

CASCADAS QUE SECREN LENTO.

[Kullervo848]

this man is a real creator..one of my favourite composers of all time

[super0dog]

Such a soft and tender dramatic art. I could hear it a thousand times and still be enchanted by this wonderful music.

One can feel the grief in this song and it makes one cry!

[yourforte]

Everything Pärt touches turns to gold.

[lryf]

get a life you drips

[haikko666]

@lryf to be able to feel is to live

[bizintin]

@TyRYANasaurus

I can relate to that....such an infusion of radiance.

[noonakord]

I guess the video helps to bring out the morbid side of the piece.

[pavlus2]

;-(

[LeanderEve]

It is simply amazing, everytime I'm listening to this piece I envision a funeral on a hill on a rainy day, but all people are wearing white instead of black... i don't know why, but i associate some kind of hope with this piece...

[freddynator2]

minimal music

[zachariasgeorge]

@freddynator2 hahahahaha i love your minimalist reply!

[DemonSlazer]

Hearing this, gives a combination of a mourning feeling and a such of a kind of final salvation, but also somehow an honoring of this person. Like a way, which has finally come to an end considering the way. It fits together with the fact, that it is a piece in memorial of someone. It really is a masterpiece considering the fact, it is only written with only ONE motive and has such many facets.

[bizintin]

@DemonSlazer

Beautifully stated.

[pavlus2]

...

[tomhatestomatoes]

when i hear this song, all i can think of is emotional pain with a mix of anxiety. in a good way. :) i like it.

[pavlus2]

all i can think of is poetry of dying

[bizintin]

@pavlus2

As a nurse, I have been there and there is the poetry and beauty of great love and deliverance out of the body. People appear to leave on an in breath of love, a simple leaving of another kind of birth And there is the devastating sorrow of the loss. This piece is exquisite in this part of life, the leaving, and the final toll of the bell. How can the heart bare the loss.

[pavlus2]

it is wonderful to read something like this from a "medicine person" ;-). fantastic attitude.

i greet you warmly, as a medicine student: :)

[vitriolsikk]

i'm speechless...wow!

[HistoricalEvents]

absolutely amazing wide and profound

[N3vre]

amazing

[giNgkoC]

so, about those eggs...

[nahojgrooc]

Excellent work- the best video rendering of Cantus I have seen. Well done!

[shunyatafield]

beautiful!!
