Mozart Requiem Dies Irae

[Jazmin969]

I just received this song in my high school chorus class today and am supposed to sing it for a grade two days from now on Thursday. This choral group has helped me so much over the past hour of me listening to it on repeat! The song is beautiful and I can't wait to perform it. Superb!

[aquachu1]

amazing... mozart is a genius.

[JerryBreathe]

my favorite part of the requiem is from1:18 to 1:28

[MrTrungminhhung]

Thanks !!!

[hokie97fan]

Thank you Mozart!

[Armando1735]

Humano, simplesmente humano.

[Paint]

Literal translation of the lyrics:

"Day of wrath, day of anger

will dissolve the world in ashes,

as foretold by David and the Sibyl.

Great trembling there will be

when the Judge descends from heaven

to examine all things closely."

SO EPIC!

[Gohrgohr]

@Paint Thanks! 

[GuitarBill13]

@Paint omg!!!reading these lyrics game me chills all over my body!!!!

thanks mate!!

[h0meskill3tt]

god, this entire requiem is amazing. it was such an honor to perform it.

[Faylify]

damn, i started crying because i got so happy for some reason!

mozart is genius

[sebisman2]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!! Its awesome

[labiosjugosos]

i love john rutter's direction!!!!!!!

[allezach]

Terrrrrific! Love it. Fast, energic.

[Fabsun]

There's more to discover in these 1:54 mins than in the whole Top 40 put together.

[MaxSoulven]

Et aussi bonne que la version Marrina!

[rosemariewalker]

This made me cry! :)

[llllloooooo]

@rosemariewalker Yeah that part just after 1:17 really gets me.

[leomack665]

Esta interpretación esta falta de sentimiento, no hay muy buenas voces en este coro. Y la velocidad no es adecuada va muy rápido y no se puede apreciar la totalidad de cada una de las partes que intervienen tanto del coro como de la orquesta.

[VonxLoebenstein17]

@leomack665 Que hablas ... creo que te falta escuchar otras interpretacion donde yo si que haria tu critica , pero en esta no , se asemeja bastante a lo que escribio mozart y lo de las voces puede ser cierto.

[deathhoundpack]

this is much different then the bathory song Dies Irae Hahaha

[cosimo4444]

to fully appreciate this you really need to listen to the entire requiem. its actually short compared to others. But just as magnificent if not better than the others.

[jaimefar]

En latin es dies irae

[RootOfChaos]

i freaking love this song. my choir sang it but we suck, but i still fell in love the song. haha

[CharnelArgyle]

At least you sang it.. When I talked with my music teacher (the choire mistress) that we should try to sing this, she said we couldn't because the song also has other instruments, not just the choire.. :(

[donquichotte3333]

One of the best interpretations yet with Bernstein's but with greater empathy here I believe. Thanks

[gijondani]

Me encanta este video y est aparte del requiem ^^ por cierto es Dies Irae no ies ire XD ¿Como se llama el director? What's the director name?

[benroo89]

i think my two favourite songs of all time are echoes by pink floyd and this

[estikhatz]

and dies irae by verdi?

[benroo89]

don't know it

[mipesca]

urgente tratar de bajar Amadeus

[uwebde]

Great performance !

[insaneCHILD00]

I LOVE YOU

[CWK922]

BLAARRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Aiknea]

FIRIN MAH LAZOR BLASEN COPENHAGEN

[darthfrodo915]

So beautiful!!!

[residentevilspoof]

I basically love Mozart's pieces. I first heard Dies Irae in the game Onimusha 3, where I think the producers edited it into a slower version, and shortened it out. Beautiful both sides of the song, in any case.

[Cronocrata]

Wait.... Dies Ire? I thought it was Dies Irae!

Now I'm confused... Care to correct it or to correct me? :S

Anyway, this music is just soo Epic! :O Well, most of Mozart's musics are... ;-) 5* and favorited

[jony5557]

it is indeed Dies Irae

[Cronocrata]

Thank you! :D

[mouweefilms]

Actually, both is right. "Dies Irae" is the version in a younger way of speaking latin. "Dies Ire" is the older one, like the author, thomas of celano, would have called it. Only the music is made by Mozart.

[veteranmina]

we sang this song for our high school choir contest.......although we got a corrupted jugde becuase all of our choir parts got 5's and all the other choirs get 3's and above

[hatakesasha]

Mozart was an interesting person... i find i see a lot of emotion squished into this song that it makes me nearly depressed. but in a good way...

[Moredread25]

Fifity Cent is Motzart's illigitimate great great great grandson.

[pianoplayersdontlie]

we're singing this in choir as well, but we are not as good (duh, we are only high school). So I'm telling my choir teacher to do the dynamics the way the song is written, but she won't listen, and it sounds like crap. Ugh.... it would sound amazing with the dynamics, cresendos, and deminuendos. I LOVE THIS SONG!

[thisidlethought]

But there isn't a great deal of dynamic markings on the original score, I mean it's Mozart working with a chamber orchestra... so dynamics would be primarily block anyway. I mean sure, the crescs and dims sound good, but they're not historically accurate.

[thatoneband777]

Hmm, good point. But still, don't you agree that it should have some interesting dynamics to "spice it up?" This choir is AMAZING! They use accents and legato at "quantoos tremor est futurus" (around 50 sec) and it gives me the chills. And the accents on the first part (1-20 sec) just sound great. It just makes it more interesting, from my opinion as a musician and composer. Thanks for the help though. =)

[thisidlethought]

Well hell yeah, it makes it all a lot more fun to mix it up as you please, it just depends where your loyalties lie. ^-^

[lolz323421]

Were singing in this choir and its awesome i have it stuck in my head

[abigailien]

were singing this for our winter concert.

[xxBlueLoverxx]

Wow. This is just as fast as ours, but we only had piano accompanyment. And we're a bunch of teenagers...

But for a bunch of high-schoolers, we were GOOD

We did this for honor choir. I'll put this to pics and post it when the cd comes.

[msexybeastp]

Wow, amazing. Excellent job.

[kaiyam1]

does anyone elso know the bravo song? (braaavo braaavo bravo bravissimo braaavo braaavo jolly well done)

[DavidMurilloCordova]

Dies irae, dies illa,

Solvet saeclum in favilla;

Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,

Quando judex est venturus,

Cuncta stricte discussurus

[kaiyam1]

do all requiems have the same lyricks?

[Saxon449]

More or less. The traditional requiem draws on several medieval poems - especially the Dies Irae which can contribute to several movements, depending on how the piece is arranged. But different composers may include different parts.

[kaiyam1]

ty, i sang 1 at music camp (different from band camp damn it!)

[BoneDaddyJack789]

Beautifully Done. I (being a tenor) wish you could hear the tenors more..but still, very nicely done.

[pianoplayersdontlie]

The tenor part is funnnnn!

[gottahavethesparkly]

Their tenors are getting a tad drowned out there, but very impressive, balanced and with dynamic range, crisp and clear. The sopranos could float a little bit more, but you can hear the alto line, which is both unusual and impressive.

[eaglelordess]

Nice dies irae! got the speed without too much haste...only thing is that the sopranos are a bit too loud so you cant fully enjoy some tenor parts, and thats a pity.

[CHerbek]

WOW! EXACTLY how this is supposed to be done. None of that slow bullshit that some choirs do! Bravo!

[ohskits]

^^ good job
