Palestrina Stabat Mater

[phoenixpiano]

Who is singing this? Tallis Scholars I'd guess.  Beautiful!

[deemax90]

A brilliant composer indeed.

[GBWPawel]

Jestem z Polski, pozdrawiam cała PALESTYNE. 

[32Styx]

Lovely music indeed. Can anyone tell me what ensemble is singing on this recording (In English please)?

[JosePedroMoutinho]

A obra é magnífica (mesmo sendo suspeito por gostar particularmente de "Stabat Mater"), mas é uma boa ideia traduzir para tornar mais acessível ao público uma língua morta como o latim, para além de permitir que se estabeleçam pontes entre o texto, expressões e emoções e as opções sonoras e compositivas, no caso, de Palestrina.

Obrigado igualmente por facultares um link para download da obra em mp3. ;-)

Gostei!

[3abdulmesii7]

I find it entertaining that the Anglicans are somehow claiming this. (It is labeled "as seen on Anglican Mainstream.") This is of course written shortly after the Protestant Reformation by a Spanish Catholic in Latin in praise of the sufferings of Mary.

[docraverty]

@3abdulmesii7

You misunderstand--Anglicans appreciate Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions--we don't "claim" them. p.s. Palestrina was Italian, not Spanish.

[3abdulmesii7]

@docraverty Oops, I should have done my research.

I was perhaps a bit too partisan. I have always found it odd, though, that Protestants have the habit of sneaking Catholicism in through the back door. As soon as an air of antiquity or a sense of continuity with the past is needed, in comes the Catholic stuff!

How many saints has the Anglican Church canonized?

[Buttermonkey63]

@3abdulmesii7 I assume you are Catholic?

Isnt Protestants and Anglicans becoming more accepting of Catholicism a good thing? I'm pretty sure that a large number of saints ended up that way because Anglicans and protestants hated them and their traditions so much....

And even us Catholics have lost so much of our traditions! I'm so glad they're making a comeback....

[3abdulmesii7]

@Buttermonkey63 That's an interesting question. While it is wonderful if Protestants are becoming more attracted to the Catholic and orthodox faith, I think that some of this acceptance results from a kind of relativism. I really don't like relativism, so I'm hesitant to consider it a definitely good thing.

I'm glad that some of the traditional disciplines are coming back too.

[Buttermonkey63]

@3abdulmesii7 I'm not really sure what you mean by relativism... but nevertheless you can't deny that acceptance of Catholicism is a big step. The sort of relativism I've witnessed has basically been the downfall of morality and "the world" (trying not to sound crazy here) but I don't see how this could bring about any harm or be an obstacle in any way.

[TenorCantusFirmus]

This is THE Setting of the "Stabat Mater". It simply is out of Time.

[SeishomaruSama]

8 pessoas não sabem o que é música de verdade.

Simplesmente fantástico.

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina é sem dúvida o melhor do canto diafônico.

[Fitzliputzli23]

this music comes from some other, higher, brighter universe than the one we live in...

[skola2051]

Nagyon szép!Különben nagyon szereten Palestrina zenéjét!

[profesorsergio]

Muito obrigado por este maravilhoso video. Adorei. Abracos, Sérgio.

[gnzanivan]

La rarefazione mistica di Palestrina è davvero ben resa da un'esecuzione pulita, nello stesso tempo sensibile e dinamica.

[robinhood1334]

"How can we not be moved?" Beauty is Truth, and eternal. Any age can recognize it. The scoffers, positivists, and those enamored with mere matter, and with the gnostic and vulgar banter of some pop, rock and rap will always be blind to its objectivity recognized via intellectual insight, and blocked in taking cognizance of it. A sad lot indeed, only to be pitied.

[3abdulmesii7]

@robinhood1334 Amen.

[avdltd]

There is an even better performance of this great work by Pro Cantione Antiqua.

[avdltd]

There is aa even better performance of this great work by Pro Cantione Antiqua.

[GeaVox]

Eccezionale tessitura di voci con magistrale controllo del volume e della purezza tonale; esemplare del genere e del periodo. Quale coro?

Exceptional weave of voices with masterly volumel control and tona purity; exemplary of the genre and period. Which choir?

[ariayamanaka]

Olá... você teria a gravação para mandar para mim? Já que não sabe de quem é a interpretação! Eu tenho outra gravação, mas não tão boa quanto...

[crimsunrise]

Sim, tenho

[crimsunrise]

Sim, deixei o link de download nas informaç!oes do clipe.

[arrabalamargo]

Thank you for publishing this wonderful as pious piece of master art. I have been touched, I am so very touched.

[amatorynumber]

Maybe, and only maybe is Andrew Parrott's version with the Taverner consort and choir. They did it one voice a part. :-P

[amatorynumber]

is this perhaps the Hilliard ensemble???? I seem to recognise David James and it seems to be one per part. I don't know, any bets?

[nonnopirro52]

mi piace l'esecuzione. il testo contiene moltissimi ERRORI in lingua latina.chi sono gli artisti?

[Napelmanak]

I am agnostic, but Palestrina is for me one of the greatest genius of composition. Just beautiful.

[avdltd]

@Napelmanak

I'm a composer of choral music myself, and for me Palestrina is THE greatest genius of composition, bar none. Period.

[ericbelify]

Beautiful.

[Portubed]

Muito obrigado! Podia indicar a autoria da execução?

[crimsunrise]

Infelizmente não sei de quem é a execução, Portubed.

[jjavaloyes]

Dear brothers in Jesus-Christ, catholics, anglicans, presbyterian, lutheran, ... whatever your church. Today Christ is giving freely his life in the cross, and his mother, our mother, is dying in her hearth. She is dying for our unity, to be one, as the Son is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit (ut omnes unum sint sicut tu pater in me et ego in te,). Are we going to let he alone?

[alalmaste]

Caro "vecchiobaiox"..... nonostante il suo parere autorevole, rimango della mia idea.

Mi piacerebbe sentire qualche brano eseguito dal suo coro.

Grazie

[VecchioBaiox]

@alalmaste: Cerca Musica Viva Cagliari qui su YouTube, puoi sentire qualche nostra esecuzione, a presto

[VecchioBaiox]

Non è affatto una buona esecuzione. Col nostro coro ci stiamo lavorando da due anni con l'ausilio di esperti e studiosi di Palestrina di livello internazionale, e abbiamo ancora molto da lavorare per raggiungere un risulatato accettabile e il più possibile vicino allo spirito con cui è stato composto. Questo coro è lontano anni luce da quello che Palestrina ha immaginato. Non mi capacito di come si possa spacciare per buone e di qualità esecuzione di livello così scadente...

[alalmaste]

Grazie, ascoltare questo brano è stata una bellissima esperienza..e anche un'occasione di ricordo personale quando ho avuto la fortuna di eseguirla come cantore.!

E' una buona esecuzione.

[VecchioBaiox]

Mi spiace, ma il coro che ha eseguito questo brano di Palestrina, non ha cantato bene. Riguardo al tempo e al ritmo con cui esso andava interpretato non ci siamo proprio. Il brano è lento, piatto, non ci sono variazioni dinamiche, la pulsazione è uguale dall'inizio alla fine. Questo brano va recitato. Il testo viene prima della melodia. Questa esecuzione ha completamente messo in secondo piano il testo rispetto alla melodia. Il contrario di quello che aveva pensato e scritto Palestrina.

[hmaxlot23]

beatifull

[AureusVenerabilis]

Brilliant...

What does "Palestrina" and "Pergolesi" mean? Thanks :-)

[piquedard]

check on wikipedia!

[avdltd]

@AureusVenerabilis

Palestrin is the town he came from "da Palestrina" simply means: from Palestrina

So it is : Giovanni from Palestrina

[AureusVenerabilis]

@avdltd

Thanks.

[MrLucasMAP]

Nossa, perfeita, muito linda, belíssima! Amo o latim, acho uma língua muito linda *-*

[danielbream]

bellissimo...grazie

[gre8]

For 10 minutes I payed attention to nothing else but this music.

Sublime experience.

[yourforte]

Simply beautiful.

[bakanagohan]

I like it ^_^

[youtubister]

Sadly no information on the performers :-(

Sublime music. How can we not be moved?

[MagicSkryabin]

I'm atheist but i'm very interested about this music ...

It's outstanding ...

[nakedBison69]

I am Jewish yet find this music to be outstanding as well

[avdltd]

@nakedBison69

Yes, this is truly universally spiritual music, devoid of the dogmatic nonsense that separate Christians, Muslims, Jews, Budhists and Hindus!

[avdltd]

Irritating melismea from about 2min and on. They do NOT belong in this piece! They detract! Don't mess with something that's perfect!'

[jesusthroughmary]

I'm sure the maestro would have been more than happy to take that under advisement.

[ericbelify]

amen

[pjmnash]

Sublimely striking the soul, for anyone who has not hardened it entirely.

[walkercrew666]

"He is the real king of sacred music, and the Eternal father of Italian music"

Verdi

[nakedBison69]

that is actually true. Palestrina is the King of all Renaissance music

[trunkeight]

How can we not be moved?

Thank you for posting, and with such high quality.

[iQuation]

The sorrow of the weeping mother as source of inspiration for uplifting religious feelings and wonderful music transcending the boundaries of planet earth.

What a wonderful world.

[nemesekernyo]

De ne olaszul, könyörgöm.

[risterion]

Maravillosa composición del maestro Palestrina.

[birk78]

Probably best song ever.

[micrologus]

Una interpretazione priva di qualunque e intenzione musicale, asettica, amorfa, ingessata, asessuata, da centro di rieducazione logopedica. Che almeno gli italiani rendano giustizia al senso musicale che la nostra lingua possiede e che esecuzioni così uccidono: aprite gli occhi (e soprattutto gli orecchi!) Marco Berrini

[belcantomania]

Sono perfettamente d'accordo.

[edrods]

Uma tradução muito ruim, pois poderia ser mais fiel à letra. Por exemplo (0:23 seg), a seguinte estrofe poderia ser traduzida assim:

Stabat mater dolorosa

(A mãe estava dolorosa)

Juxta cricem lacrimosa

(junto à cruz lacrimosa)

Dum pendembat filius

(De onde pendia seu filho)

Não foram respeitadas a métrica e a musicalidade, quando há sinônimos ou palavras parecidas em português.

[bubinusol]

molto suggestivo

[musighitta]

Questa è la vera musica sacra! solo questa avvicina a Dio, è come essere tra i cherubini!!!

[jockboy69]

This sounds like the Tallis Scholars, cond. by Peter Philips.

[nickeeboy]

Powerful and strong. Looking at the words it's meaning invokes emotions.

[SaxymanMLC]

No human words can express my feelings concerning this performance. they are angels

[cezig]

Trés beau ! synchro en latin et en Portugais ?

j'aurais préféré en connaitre les interprètes ?

[00ceroalaizquierda00]

Una interpretación francamente buena.. a excepción de los "adornos" que le han puesto a las sopranos.. me gustaría ver la partitura de esta versión..

MUCHAS GRACIAS por subirlo..

saludos!

[0tomatogirl0]

ignoranza mia, chiedo scusa, ma non c'ho capito nulla...

[saintandrews84]

I wonder what went through this composers mind when writing this great music. Tallis, Byrd, Gibons, Palestrina, Allegri, Victoria, Lusaschi and co all had some common theme of greatness.When art was blemishing so was renaissance music. Oh boy with such harsh conditions of living this music would have soothed a lot of pain.Such legacy they have left and those not yet born will someday sit back and think the same thing.

[michael72401]

@saintandrews84 ou sound like me - thinking the same about this early music.

You won't find this talent ever again

[ericbelify]

@saintandrews84 We were the not yet born then, and are now are so.  I love the music of the renaissance so dearly. And there are harsh conditions today as there were then. And the music soothes me unendingly. I consider the music of the high Renaissance to be the most soundly written of all music. Don't despaire, you are not alone

[rosovavoda]

Is so wonderfull,it"s from another world...

I wanna be there....

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

this is very pretty indeed!

[lili1nsa]

gracias! es bellísimo!

[fetch089]

Couls anybody please add the motet "O beata trinitas by Palestrina, I think. For me it's one of the finest pieces of music of the Renaissance!

[AdLibitumGuitarDuo]

Palestrina was perhaps the greatest genius of the renaissance music. Great.

[CelticGent355]

This is bequtifully written and performed. I am in awe of Palestrina's Devine Inspiration in scripting such masterworks as this. Thank you for adding this.

[THIERY83]

Je ne connaissais pas. Quelle révélation.

J'ai la chair de poule, les larmes aux yeux, c'est merveilleux.

[Dhomen]

good

[wmmckee]

Obrigado por este maravilhoso destacamento desempenho!

[onilevasalenro]

Gracias (Obrigado) Crimsunrise. Hace diez años perdí el disco y esta era mi canción favorita! Al fin la vuelvo a oir!!!!

[jewish1972]

sublime music, but T. L. de Victoria´s is even better.

[00ceroalaizquierda00]

son diferentes, no hay que compararlos.. es cuestión de gustos..^^

saludos!

[avdltd]

Nope. Victoria has neither the depth or melodic mastery of Palestrina.

[bleimor28]

C'est magnifique. Palestrina est un génie de la création liturgique.

[jewish1972]

Victoria es mejor que el.

[nicosupersex]

???????????? me quede sin palabras.... si son como la misma cosa..... el mismo nivel, yo creo que a vos te mueve el nacionalismo hehee;-)

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

c'est tres beau

[Rhona48]

Simply glorious and very spiritual. And the name of this Portuguese group? What else do they sing?
