Jan Garbarek & The Hilliard Ensemble - Parce Mihi Domine (1)!

[Grandmasterbirch]

I'm just waiting for George Michael to come in

[aJThomasine330]

ha.. not bad..not bad

[bboymango]

my professor ended our introduction to the History of Music to this piece of music. this first part atleast, and this really is a beautiful and genius application of the saxophone to an 'ancient' work of art

[MegaLittleMi]

one of most beatiful pieces i've even heard.

[liberalk78]

Watched them play at Kenyon College in Gambier,Ohio in 1985 it was a life changing experience ................

[16wani]

@liberalk78

I saw this concert in the Nidaros Cathredal in Trondheim, had chills down my spine and tears in my eyes...

[Cherryash123]

 i heard this first on QAF, about 4 years ago.then i was listening to classic FM last night and heard it again... just wow.

[lunasevillana62]

maravillosa musica. maravillosa

[123123leona]

JUSTIN :'(

[geraintjohn]

I didn't know what to make of this when I heard it for the first time on Classic FM but I really do think it's very beautiful!!! =] x

[NothingKillsTheSun]

Just out of curiosity, what does the (1) at the end of the video title mean? I am aware of the fact, that the song is featured three times on the album. The version in this video being the third (track 15) I find the "(1)" a bit misleading

[tiad]

@NothingKillsTheSun: Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's a little bit misleading. (1) means the first clip from me using this track. I made another clip with exactly the same track but using pictures from "The Last Temptation Of Christ". - Regards. - ** TIAD **

[EmilieeeF]

This makes me shiver and cry so much. My parents played this to me when I was in the womb

[laelamarie1]

this music so totally amazing!!!! fortunate to have the "correct earphones" I have chills...

[MrDruid1976]

1 raz ten utwór usłyszałem w 1995r. i byłem nim zachwycony. I tak zostało do dziś. Na koncercie Jana byłem 2 razy, uczucie nie do opisania. Łza się kręci w oku za każdym razem gdy tego słucham. Moim zdaniem jest to esencja muzyki a zarazem mojego życia. Pomogła mi w ciężkich chwilach, ostudzić żal i emocje, które we mnie były. Pozdrawiam wszystkich, którzy wiedzą czym jest muzyka Jana Garbarka.

[Elementfifth]

myyy god I was looking for this for sooo long 

[stephenhayesuk]

The words appear to be derived from the book of Job. Incidentally, Joni Mitchell also wrote a song 'Sire of Sorrows' from the same text, on the album 'Turbulent Indigo.' A thoughtful book whatever one's beliefs, since we all have to die.

love this music, just bought it after hearing on radio 4 'something understood'

If anyone likes this, they might also like Christian Forshaw and Sanctuary, similar blend of old church song, beautiful voices and sax with a bit of church organ thrown in.

[Operaandchant90]

i had cancer last year (its healed, thankfully). i had a 6 hour operation, and this is what i listened to after i got out of it, alive, and well, a changed person.

[magicamethist]

@tiad: many of us have heard this from Queer as Folk. QaF is much more than " aTV series", it´s a cult. Hope you watch it sometime.

[snillocgrom]

@magicamethist Very true. QaF helped me discover a whole new world of music. I didn't know much about renaissance polyphony or Jan Garbarek before that season finale.

[kingkoeller]

How can we know it was meant to be real? She was in my heart, in my dreams, how was I to know that life's sorrow is relative to it's joy. The clouds of times passing grow more and more dim...Does she know I still think of her smile? I loved those special times when we would fly the kite, drinking wine in a big windy field...

[beltmistrz]

Szukałm i znalazłem :D. Przepiekny kawałek na zakonczeie 1 sezonu QAF. Łamie serce, wyciska łzy...

[XBlackAngel14X]

I first heard this song on Season 1 Episode 22 of Queer as Folk, the US version. It is played over a beautiful, and sad scene. It adds to the power of the scene, and makes my cry everytime. And I'm so glad that I have been able to find this song, it's just so emotional, and makes me think of that QaF scene. I know really like this song, even though it's not something I would normally listen to.

[tiad]

@XBlackAngel14X: Thanks for your comment. I am very suprised that so much listeners finds to this fantastic music from/with Jan Garbarek because of watching "a tv series". By accident, so to speak. Btw I haven't no clue about the "Queer as Folk" and don't feel that I miss something. This music is absolutely enough to create the suitable pictures in your head depending on your situation. So it is better not to link it only to the pointed tv series even it seems to be very emotional. - Tiad

[globin3]

@tiad thank you so much for the video, but there's a reason we all talk about Queer as Folk, it's because it's a series that relly changed our life. And even if you don't believe it now, you are missing something, trust me.

[77freddie77]

@tiad .........I myself love this piece very much as well. As with alot of classical pieces, I often come upon them by watching tv programmes and hearing them as soundtracks for example. As in the case of this piece of music, I stumbled upon it accidentally upon a cd that was loaned to me and must admit that it is one of my most favourite pieces of music to date. Most of my most loved items of music have become favourites because I have heard them previously as accompaniments to tv series.

[enmujohn]

@XBlackAngel14X

i LOVE LOVE LOVE QaF! i also LOVE LOVE LOVE the HIlliard Ensemble! even though i've seen the season 1 finale a number of times, i think i was too busy crying to notice this music... until the other day when i rewatched it (for maybe the 6th or 7th time...) thank god for apps that can tell you what you're listening to!

@tiad thanks for sharing this! it is GORGEOUS... i am a music student and will be attending grad school in the next year or so for early music...

[XBlackAngel14X]

@enmujohn Hahaha, it's nice to see a comment from another QaF fan, who discovered this song through the show! I was the same, too busy crying to notice the music, then while watching the scene on youtube there was a link to the song, and I adore it!

[geordiegothy]

God this song makes me cry so much! Love every second of it!

[Hill1966]

Se sei arrivata sino qui' chino il capo e accetto la mia sconfitta!

Sono nelle sue mani!

La prima volta che ho sentito il brano

ero in inverno su una strada di montagna

sterrata, solitaria, affogata nella neve

non ho potuto fare a meno di fermarmi

aspettando la fine

aspetto di rivvivere emozioni simili!

[MsWaytoomuch]

Reaching for kleenex - still takes me back to the last minutes of QAF season one - never thought a stupid show could leave me devastated like that. Cowlip choice of music for that episode was superb . Hard to believe it's been 10 yrs since Qaf started.

[JammyDodgerXD]

@MsWaytoomuch and tv has never been the same since! truly revolutionary. Those moments in that episode were heartbreaking and still effect me too. Strange things. Lovely music too. x

[notetoafriend]

crying so bad at this :( remembering QAF!

[23arezy]

First I've heard this song on the finish 1st seson of Queer As Folk, and I loved in this at once. It sounds like... heaven choir, it's amazing and beautiful. Bliss for ears!

[YesLloyd94]

this is the music of angels

[MrArmoiries]

This song literally brought me to complete tears during the last season of Queer as Folk.

I thought it was modern, as in the composer, but was not sure. Regardless, the sax is a beautiful addition to Morales's spiritual and up-lifting song, that drives you into utter desperation so deep and painful.

[mikeFcoLopez]

@MrArmoiries I just heard on the season finale of QAF. I share your idea. It also made me mourd

[ALoveEternal]

serene and beautiful.

[JammyDodgerXD]

A wonderful peice of music. Firstheard on QAF and loved ever since!

[PinguPwnz]

Heard this song half an hour after finding out our old rugby coach passed away, Its a proper tear jerker.

[pondeflouers]

Cold...

[sabinasaba10]

Beautiful !!!

[SpecialKetamine26]

This song was in the last scene of the first season of QAF. Completely heartbreaking.

[06bleach06]

i hear this and immediately think of Brian and Justin, its so sad, when i saw that episode i just fell to tears, utterly heartbreaking

<3 Brian & Justin Forever <3

[byk83]

Magiczna!

[greylondonskies]

Like a lot of people I first heard this on Queer as Folk. I can't get over how haunting this track is and how sorrowful the sax sounds. It fit the scene so beautifully.

[op5072]

"Garbarek makes Kenny G sound like Albert Ayler" Jezz Nelson.

[LucaXMale]

E' una musica che ho sentito nell'ultima puntata della prima serie di "Queer as Folk". Che dire, la serie è bellissima, questa canzone la sto ascoltando da un bel pò, è triste; malinconica; mi ricorda di pregare per i vinti morti in guerra; per i bambini che non hanno una vita; è bellissima!

E' stupenda!

[maywez]

Justin and Brian </3

Nothing more to say...

[hasenschnuckel]

wunderschön!

danke -karsten!

[Voluespa]

When I heard it first time, I loved this song. But afterwards, Gabarek disnoised this wonderful Song. He plays too loud.

Now I hear the Original, sung by The Hilliard Ensemble, and it's great, it's wonderful

[tiad]

@Voluespa: This is the version with Jan Garbarek. Imho he plays wonderful. Of course you should use a good hifi equipment (at least good hifi earphones) to be aware of this ECM recording!

For the "Original" without sax you should listen to "Garbarek & The Hilliard Ensemble - Parce Mihi Domine (a cappella)" (my other clip).

[countdumas]

@Voluespa great holistic bands are--GONG, MOTHER GONG, MAGMA, APHRODITIES CHILD, EAT STATIC, SYSTEM 7, LISA GERRARD, DEAD CAN DANCE, LARRY CORYELL, KAZUMI WATANABE, STOMU YAMASHTA, PATRICK BERNARD, LOST AT LAST, MELTING EUPHORIA, OZRIC TENTACLES, JADE WARRIOR, SPHONGLE, STEVE TIBBETTS, OREGON, SHAKTI, TONINHO HORTA, EGBERTO GISMONTI, BILL LASWELL, MAGICAL POWER MAKO, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE, GODESS T, ACID MOTHERS GONG.

[TheRaydiation]

Simply amazing, the voices are ambient and the sax gives it a sharp focus. Its like chocolate dipped strawberry, layers can make a great combo.

[nandah3892]

Such a beautiful song.

There's no words to describe how it makes you feel, just by listening to it.

And yeah, I know this from Queer as Folk too. :]

The serie has plenty other incredible songs well placed along the episodes.

Very nice taste. ^^

[xanglat]

Beautiful

Thank you very much for posting

[hnoss13]

Ohhh, this is the song that played at the end of the first season of Queer as Folk. It made me cry so hard. Very spiritual and just as beautiful.

[juju0797]

Garbarek jan really has a tres beautiful sound, he merite to be to respect for my part it is my second preferred saxophonist the first one being a montois ( Belgian)

[luiskuramathi]

you are so right tiad. saxo makes the difference  tks from argentina

[swanditch]

mihimetipsi, not mihimetispsi

[freshairrr]

perfect melody into the mountains...

[Supster331]

My last name is Hilliard. I just typed it up because i was bored

[MaurizioDante]

The beauty of this masterpice is so huge, words are a true limit.

The listening is a deep spiritual experince, is a meeting together the Divine!!!

[xadnder]

I was a senior in high school when I was struggling with coming out and had been downloading episodes of Queer As Folk (no cable at the time). I'll never forget how much the season finale moved me and made me weep with this song. Amazingly beautiful. I still get goosebumps or cry when I hear it.

[Miguel53de]

a masterpiece of ancient and modern musicé I just love it

[oftimeandspace1]

Ecstatic tears sublime devotion........x

[shamrockrules]

this is definately one of the most beautiful peices of music i have ever come across

[1welbeck]

What can I say ....... such a beautiful peace of music, so very poignant, calm & relaxing! I was moved beyond words after listening to this track. I felt such emotion & sadness, but also lifted with joy & hope! Enjoy .........

[myramike1996]

It is the combination of ancient and modern that I love. have you heard any of Garbarek's other stuff? a truly great 20'th century composer and jazz musician! You know, this music is really not simple at all,but it is crafted to make it seem so, the wok of genius!

[yourforte]

So beautiful.

[orannisthedestroyer]

thanks for this - it's wonderful. where did you get the pictures??! they're gorgeous

[josnel07]

Maravilloso video!!!y musica!!!

Gracias***

[danceswithoddsocks]

Wow, don't you want to tread carefully? This is a beautiful place? Thanks :-)

[modalus]

This piece of music moved me many years ago. I think it is the most profoundly beautiful music I have ever heard. and so old...

[sayuridp]

This song made me cry at the ending of Queer as Folk season 1... such an emotional piece.

[aphyaoisecks]

Exactly the same. Every time I watch it I cry - and cry in different ways. Sometimes it's just silent tears, or racking sobs, or shuddering gasps (I know, so cliché) but the exceptional show plus the hauntingly beautiful piece of music just... gets you.

[mikeFcoLopez]

@sayuridp Yes, You're right, i just heard it too (i mean, Watched)

[maria98173]

so very beautiful!!!!!!!!

[Chicadee1391]

People seem to forget that the simple stuff can be beautiful

[TbgO]

When I was 12 or 13 my parents took me to a concert in canterbury cathedral. Least I forget to have a cry, that memory of the hilliard ensemble walking around us endures. The closest an atheist can get to spirituality.

[marcybi]

Emozionante

[salvio2209]

Semplicemente fantastica. Mistica.

[yourforte]

So very beautiful.

[f2509p]

saw them perform live in a church in germany...if you ever get the chance, take it. i am usually into hardcore but that was most definitely the best and most impressive concert i have ever (and probably will be) been to.

[chauntzu]

I'm not surprised...I also saw/heard them in a church in NYC...Clearly the most moving and beautiful concert I've ever attended...and Manfred Eicher was 2 rows behind me across the isle.

Any musician with taste and a broad palette musically, no matter what they may be into can appreciate such talent and beauty.

[quetzel1]

buen trabajo musical

[ColombeDu62]

Whaou!!!C'est beau.

Cela ressemble aux chants célestes.

BS♥

[gduane1516]

I really like this I heard this on classical fm (UK radio station) i was and still am moved to tears anytime I hear this. Truely superb

[Sundrumify]

Thank you so much, sharing this vid. A year ago, a close friend of mine passed. We both loved this music. She passed with the awareness,  that her soul would move on. Writing this, I see her smile.

This music really opens us up to the interdimensional worlds, all in ONE, and the realization of our infinite nature.

Namaste,

Lisa

[catlouve]

just superb

[Helmsworld]

...me too!! Amazing sound.. Can hear it for hours...

[JoeJC]

this song takes me to another place.

[tiad]

Follow to the link video response to hear this track in a cappella version (without instruments, only voice).

[sebaunicum]

amazing, fantastic, overwhelming, the power of music, the power of a soprano sax, the glory of God. For me there is no music which can replace the grace of this sound.

[krikorsax]

wonderfull

[ChillBoyProductions]

The first time i heard it was on the Queer As Folk television serie. And OMG, i cried too much... You can't imagine. Love this song since that day

[sayuridp]

I cried too... it's so sad :'(

[mishulik34]

@ChillBoyProductions i saw that episode too .... so touching ...

[gramule]

@ChillBoyProductions the fantatic, witty, erudite, clever original uk version, or the american copy of that show?

[gduane1516]

@gramule I think the American one by the sounds of it.. I can't remember hearing this on the fantastic tv break original UK series lol

[JammyDodgerXD]

@gduane1516 yeah the american one =]

[TheAdeenah25]

@ChillBoyProductions

Amazing song!I heard it for the first time in QAF too!Such an emotional scene..:(

[rikutea]

@ChillBoyProductions same here, few days ago i heard this song on tv and was like "OMG its from QAF the one who manages to break my heart everytimes i watch that scene in season 1 finale" so good to be able to finally find this :P

[bookgirl1976]

@ChillBoyProductions I SOBBED through the attack scene on Sunshine :( Made my heart very heavy.

[kymmathy]

this song is used at the end of queer as folk and always makes me cry it's just so beautiful

[SuzyHomebody]

Funny I was thinking the same thing... it was so sad...when they were pulling Justin out of the ambulance...

[joanx5]

@SuzyHomebody wait was that the ending for the whole show or was it the first season? I havent really watched the show but i read that it was the ending for the first season

[Asxhmoula]

At 1:55 it looks like it's moving towards you; simply amazing photography to a transcendental and uplifting piece. :)

[sweeter686]

this song is so powerful........and beautiful

[pierredelau]

PARCE MIHI DOMINE is a text from the Bible, Book of Job, Chapter VII verses 16 to 21.

This text was used by the Catholic Church for the morning prayers of burial ceremonies.

[NeighborAhmed]

I remember hearing this as a 10 year old and it has really stuck with me. When I need to block everything out and just relax, this music does it.

[ferrysj]

I absolutely love this album. It contain a second track w/o the sax. Sometimes I think the sax needs to be more subtle as in the beginning and end. The first time I heard this version was in the Stave Church at Epcot in Disney.

[RoyalFireworksPress]

Thanks for putting this on YouTube.., I have lost my recording and am so pleased to find it here.

[bagoas]

By the Spanish Composer CRISTOBAL DE MORALES ( 1500 - 1553 )

Adapted by Jan Garbarek. Hilliard Ensemble.

[tiad]

Thanks for the translation!

[bagoas]

( 2 )

Why have you set me up as your target,

so that I am now a burden to myself?

Why do you not forgive my sin

and why do you not take away my guilt?

Behold, I shall now lie down in the dust:

if you come looking for me I shall have ceased to exist.

[bagoas]

( 1 )

Spare me, Lord, for my days are as nothing.

What is Man, that you should make so much of us?

Or why should you set your heart upon us?

You visit us at dawn,

and put us to the test at any moment.

Will you not spare me and let me be,

while I swallow my saliva?

If I have sinned, how have I hurt you,

O guardian of mankind?

[bagoas]

Parce mihi, Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.

Quid est homo, quia magnificas eum?

Aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum?

Visitas eum diluculo et subito probas ilium.

Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimittis me, ut glutiam salivam meom?

Peccavi, quid faciem tibi, о custos hominum?

Quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, et factus sum mihimetipsi gravis?

Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam?

Ecce, nunc in pulvere dormian, et si mane me quaesieris, non subsistam.

[marrrijk]

Great! thanks for sharing!!!

[elisaauryn]

... a bird flying into a cathedral...

[egreenwood20]

absoloutly magical

[deadpooldan]

Stunningly beautiful, and the sax gives it that slight spice that makes it an incredible and unique track. Love it.

[unfallkatze]

This is so damn beautiful.

[bill0kaulitz0girl]

beautiful

[WatchMeAsIExplode]

I wish I could perhaps find a version without the sax.

[aldecoole]

i have it, do you want to met to mail it?

[agussiek]

I also know this from Qaf. However, it's a truly beautiful piece of music, with or without the show. Lovely.

[sabhti]

Maravilloso!!,es de total paz y serenidad,gracias Salvatore por la recomendación.Gracias tambien a tiad por su gusto exquisito,me ha encantado.Isabel.

[JamesGU4]

Anyone who has seen Queer as Folk will know this from the final scene in series 1. It is haunting and beautiful at the same time, and always makes me stop and reflect, usually resulting in a tear in my eyes. It is simply the most stunning rendition of an otherwise beautiful piece of choral music.

[AlessandroDeGranazia]

I know jazz sax traditionally seems worlds apart from 15th/16th Century music, but that's precisely what makes this track (or any of Gabarek's work) unique. It's a fascinating mix. I wonder who thought first about putting the two together?

Incidentally, if you love this sort of thing, Tyler Rix's debut album "Ascent" is out on 2nd February in the UK. Same combination and the title track is very effective.

[Anja1246]

I love the choral sound, but the sax just doesn't belong... it makes it smooth jazzy...just my opinion.

[tiad]

I don´t think so. Just especially the sax makes this track unique and extraordinary beautiful and, yes, smooth jazzy. ;-)

[JourneyOfABook]

You can get the original version on iTunes - its under the album Music for King Charles V. I've got both... I like them equally, I think....

[cenmc]

what a sound Garbarek has!!!!

[LiveBergStenhammer]

When i was a baby my mother used to play this to me every night to get me to sleep, it is my favourite song ever. this is what started my intrest in music, thank god for Jan Garbarek.:D

[blootette]

I first heard this on the German satellite "space night" channel 10 years ago.

I bought all their CD's since.

A masterpiece of work

thanks for the posting

[redfish87]

Put, "&fmt=18" (without the ") after the URL to listen in Stereo!

[subzerokl]

i love this sentimental..do u have idea where can i download the mp3 of this?

[gentlesinger]

You can download this by Lime Wire program its a free program , search for Hilliard Ensemble or Parce Mihi Domine

[moskva40]

Free and unlicensed download of any music has the potential to ruin the livelihoods of those who collaborate to create the music. They release their works for money because it costs money to make them. Don't insult them by taking what they do for granted.

[Senrence]

You should buy the whole album. I can proudly say it was the first cd I ever bought, and THE album I'm the most pleased with.

[tiad]

Yes absolutely. The recording is brilliant and reference like!

[tiad]

Watch and listen to my other Jan Garbarek clips!

[tiad]

From the Album "Officium. Track Parce Mihi Domine (Christóbal de Morales). Listen & Enjoy it.

[ccking2]

I really think that this piece is beautiful. :)
