Gregorian chant - Deum verum

[TargonTheDragon]

I once had a music teacher say she couldn't stand Gregorian chant and i just thought "how????!!!!!...........never mind, im just not going to talk to you anymore"

[TargonTheDragon]

how awsome would it be to be part of a group that sang Gregorian Chant.

[TrixieKalamazoo]

so peaceful :)

[daloneyson]

bullshit



[thedarkephoenix]

Callixtinus, Great job with the pictures, they are beautiful!! I love the quality of this video!

[DrSpooglemon]

pure dead brilliant!

[chichesterz]

lyrics help? chi conosce il testo di questa meriavigliosa canzone?

[kb9agt]

I wonder if they are tuned to the sacred Solfeggio frequencies. 471 is one of them.

[Ldub0550]

I like this music because I like it. and thats it

[Ketwick]

very nice music the best like relax music coming from haven thank you

[gabrielecalcinari]

bellissimo

[205whitewolf]

i keep expecting a band like behemoth to pop up and start goin insain

[SteinbrecherBack]

Why "Deum verum"? Generally weird in the o-declination. The neuter form of "god" doesn't really make sense and if it's in the accusative, there's some information missing...

[surfchick94]

the appreciation for Gregorian Chants unfortunately is almost near non-existent these days. It's very sad, because the music really is remarkable.

[Weewokk]

@surfchick94 It really is some of the most beautiful music ever written.

[6digit]

i gonna use this music on this coming holy procession in philippines for holy week activity

[BougFizzle]

look for the lyrics under "Latin Psalters" in wikipedia.its Psalm 94,Versio Romana, and put the chorus part in between them, the in trinitate stuff lol:)

[BougFizzle]

i so want to learn latin now :))



[ataryo]

@BougFizzle its pretty easy if you already master '' french,Italian,spanish or portugese.''

[fatalistbg1]

Wonderfully soothing,outstandingly easeful song! As I am utterly unhappy in the last 3 years these Gregorian songs truly deeply smoothes me down! Love so much Gregorian songs!!!

[hurricaneomega]

very nice but gregorian chant is monophonic. (everyone sings the same notes)

[Lluisalejandro]

@hurricaneomega Very nice but it isn't monophonic... hardly noticeable though but at 0:43 and at some later points there are 5th parallels. it was apart from the octave the only use interval in common Gregorian music

[leather629]

I've never heard of Gregorian chants until my friend released a progressive metal CD that contained such chants. This is very amazing an uplifting. Also has a calming effect.

[XenonMan1]

Ad Christum est post viam pacis.Sequimur Christi.

[Jimbothenoob]

Gorgeous! Absolutely enthralling. Not monophonic though.

[Easleytee]

If you enjoy this music...check-out a recording by the 20th Century Russian composer Alfred Schnittke entitled Psalms of Repentance.

[hplover226]

Gregorian chants can clear my head after an agitating day. :)

[Godefroy1060]

Monophonic gregorian chants are PERFECTION.

[chromecrescent]

what is the picture at 7:30!?

[borbetomagus]

@chromecrescent 'Scenes from the Passion of Christ' [c.1470] by Hans Memling [ca. 1430 – 1494]

'The Last Judgment' [c. 1467-1471] is a triptych attributed to him.

[wolfy336]

It's funny...even being 17 and not that religious, I still listen to this music very often as I'm doing homework or studying. I guess this beautiful music helps me calm my nerves tremendously. 

[OkamiGohan]

@wolfy336 That's me right there... wonderful music is wonderful music.

[FreshmenBolts]

@wolfy336 the baroque classical helps concentration by putting both hepispheres pf the brain in sync. these gregorian chants are known to heal!

[wolfy336]

@FreshmenBolts That's amazing....thanks for the info!^^

[carlitosalbertoss]

@FreshmenBolts

ME TOO THINK THE SAME THING

[VoiceoftheGodless]

@wolfy336 You don't have to be religious to appreciate religious music. Just as I can be an atheist and still respect the literary value of the Bible, anyone can enjoy music without having to follow the culture that produced it.

[asianwhitenigger]

@VoiceoftheGodless lolol ana theist who respecters the literary value of the bible?? lololol youre a dumbs

[asianwhitenigger]

@asianwhitenigger fuckign mac

Dumbasss*****

[ytdcfjhvjvp0j]

@asianwhitenigger

Brother, please.

Cease this childishness. This place is for chilling out and being civil with our christian brothers and sisters. Take your generalizations and bad grammar to a black metal video, or a troll page.

[asianwhitenigger]

@ytdcfjhvjvp0j You're a fag

[MadPrince369]

@ytdcfjhvjvp0j quite, it seems there are a few kindred spirits still. its refreshing.

[VoiceoftheGodless]

@ytdcfjhvjvp0j I wholeheartedly agree, however I wish to extend that grouping to those of differing faiths as well.

[inukirby992]

@ytdcfjhvjvp0j *Uses the phrase 'Brother, please*

*Uses the phrase 'chilling out'*

I am so confused right now.

[VoiceoftheGodless]

@asianwhitenigger I respect it as an example of ancient poetry, and as a very influential piece of writing. That does not necessarily mean that I believe it to be true.

Claiming that all atheists are Bible-bashing trolls is just as closed-minded as my saying that all Christians are fundamentalist, xenophobic bigots, which I know to be far from the truth. That is all I have to say, and I will not bog this comment list down with a theological debate as has befallen so many other videos.

[asianwhitenigger]

@VoiceoftheGodless You're wrong

[VoiceoftheGodless]

@asianwhitenigger If you are referring to my saying that "all Christians are fundamentalist, xenophobic bigots," then I would like to draw your attention to the very next thing that I say; namely, "...which I know to be far from the truth."

And thank you for drawing me back to this peaceful bit of music.

[Badingolfer12]

@VoiceoftheGodless In all kindness what would you do when you died and there you see God?

[TargonTheDragon]

@Badingolfer12 sing hallelujah and praise God, knowing that i believed in the truth.

[inukirby992]

@asianwhitenigger Oh no, not the dumbs!

[Blitzzyful]

@wolfy336 I just read in this awesome natural healing book, that "when sound passes through the ear it activates the vagus nerve that extends from the ear down into the larynx and through the entire intestinal tract, where it's fibers control gastric and pancreatic secretions. This is in the are of the third chakra, which is an emotional center. The vagus nerve also has inhibitory fibers that pass through the heart, which is also an emotional center" (heart chakra)

[PantheraAtrox]

@Blitzzyful , good music is like audio sexx,

Total audiogasm.

[pagandude1]

@Blitzzyful that's really quite interesting information you have there... i am very musically minded and would fully agree that music has special qualities for sure...

[Roseecactuar]

@wolfy336 Same here, dude! It really helps me staying focused and calm during the hardest of homework!

[Workhard1994]

@wolfy336 Seriously, i feel the exact same way! I too, am 17 years old, and when i study i put this on :) It is calming as you say, and really starts my thoughts. Nice to see somebody feels like me :)

[ganondorf59]

@Workhard1994 Ich hoffe Sie finden die Zeit einige der genannten Philosophischen Werken zu lesen. Es wird Ihnen sehr gut tun, obwohl Sie noch sehr jung sind.

[0Beethoven0]

@wolfy336 I'm 15 and not really religious either, but there is something about this that is is more... than any other music of the baroque period onwards.

[TheGlitterpop21]

gregorian chant is so beautiful, i love the latin language, so lovely, i sing this kina stuff, i never get tired of it :) , BECUZ UR PRAISON JESUS !! in a foreign tongue too

[edwards12131415]

this is absolutely sublime. but i have a question. the parts when the voices split, is the interval in octave? please answer if you know i need to find out so would be much appreciated. thank you very much

[al100570ex]

@edwards12131415 not an 8ve, or else you wouldn't get the harmonic sound. It's most likely a 5th or so.

[Vidar447]

Remarkable... 

[claudiogn]

beautiful written, beautiful voices...

[DizzyLizzyLockheart]

I will never understand this art form...

[ulverup]

@DizzyLizzyLockheart what do you mean ? it's beautiful

[DizzyLizzyLockheart]

@ulverup It's too monophonic for my taste. I need polyphony, or at least some counterpoint. This is too simple.

[Straxus69]

This chant is so beautiful. The polyphony adds an ambience to the song that praises that God is the One True God. Amen. Praises be to God, and His Christ, the King of Kings.

[guitarlad89]

how can anyone doubt God after hearing this? If this is divine inspiration, can you imagine what God alone can come up with? oh wait......EVERYTHING :)

[DrewAnti1960]

The Truth Of God

[iheartneji13]

are the people who performed this french?

[JwahAmore31]

I come to this page, daily, to listen to this most GLORIOUS music!!! I honestly can't get over how beautiful this is! My LORD!

Cheers, and Thank you for sharing!

- J

[fieldstonewall]

What is the technique used beginning at 0:43 seconds and is it indicative of a certain style or period of Gregorian chant? It is one of my favorite aspects.

[HeadbangerPars]

@fieldstonewall are you talking about polyphony? its when the same note is sung in different pitches, making a harmony. it was developed at the end of the middle ages.

[fieldstonewall]

@HeadbangerPars Well, I understand that it is polyphony, but this sounds much different than Palestrina or other polyphonic chants. Is this a specific style or mood or era?

[bradleyt1]

@fieldstonewall This is homophony, because the voices although in harmony move together in the same direction. Polyphony, the voices would be moving in different directions from each other giving it a more elaborate texture.

[edwards12131415]

@bradleyt1 it's actually heterophony as there is no independent or dominant voice

[bradleyt1]

@edwards12131415  Thanks! It has been a while since music history. Beautiful music..

[naremconscendit]

@fieldstonewall It's not a vocal technique, but a compositional practice. The different parts are singing in parallel in intervals called fourths and fifths. It's a very common feature of medieval music; from classical music onwards we've preferred to use parallel thirds and sixths.

[edwards12131415]

@naremconscendit @if you are corect and the intervals are what you say, then this piece isn't Gregorian chant, but Organum, but the discrepancy is negligible

[neominois]

This is the foundation to all western music... hauntingly amazing.

[jedenbeen]

@AveMaria0211 The title means "The True God" in english.

[AngryDeepground]

@xangelsx5 It's sung in perfect unison, other that that I don't know.

[1xangelsx5]

I have a question... how can you recognize typical gregorian music??

[scarlettewolfe27]

@1xangelsx5

Typical greogrian chants will often incorporate both being sung in unison as well as using the intervals, Perfect 4th, and perfect 5th - this comes in at 0:44. These intervals at the time were seen as the most 'holy' or most pleasing to God, which is why no other intervals are used until later music. It was typically based upon mathematical principles. :)

[1xangelsx5]

@scarlettewolfe27 thank you!

[JohnRivers8]

1 person... is a muslim

[Max0Inq]

@JohnRivers8 Even if... Then what?

[Fenner1976]

Favourited. I'm too engrossed in listening to write anything else.

[bbafroilan]

Gratias tibi ago, amice!

[AdversusHaereses]

If you want to hear beautiful gregorian chant in the place it truly belongs, just go to your local tridentine mass to hear it!

[TemplarReturn]

I trust brothers that you listen! And take note. The days are counting down to the crescent flying over europe where this will be listened to no more and will be drowned out by the muslim call to prayer!

Unless, you re-obtain your faith and follow in the footsteps of those who held the line. Tours 732AD, Vienna 1683 AD....

Will you hold the line? or go to your fate like meek sheep!

[EmitteVeritatemTuam]

@TemplarReturn

I'm afraid you may be right, but there are many prophecies from the first century of the global domination of the secular republican system (the 19th) that a great Catholic monarch will arise from the obscurity now inhabited by the ancient, royal, and Catholic bloodlines of Europe... and he will crush the enemies of God. Hopefully this will usher in a Pax Catholicus for a thousand years.

[pj100003]

@EmitteVeritatemTuam Amen, and may it be so; but some things are too good to be true. We shall see, and I shall watch with a wary eye.

[Beefforyou]

@EmitteVeritatemTuam I would rather not be forced into Catholicism, thank you.

[AngryDeepground]

@TemplarReturn It's the guy from Assassins Creed. Wern't you evil.

But honestly it's guys like this that cause such prejudice against Muslims. And to be frank Christianity was pretty corrupt when this music was originally made.

[Happyhobo117]

These chants are so calming, they help me fall asleep.

[delta3garcia]

English translation?

[QuiaEgo]

Awesome and beautyfull....

[practicecrazypianist]

glorious!!! where can i get the music??

[Callixtinus]

@practicecrazypianist :

You can find information about the music and relevant artists/album if you press "show more" beneath the video

[practicecrazypianist]

@Callixtinus

Doh...Thank you! Sorry about being thick! :)

[ladygagafan2300]

Born and raised as Roman Catholic and I've been listening to this ever since I was 3. I'm 25

[agoodSylience]

These chants bring peace to my soul.

[practicecrazypianist]

such harmonies!!!

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

If you follow along in TODAY'S Bible, this is actually Psalm 95, BTW.

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper et in saecula saeculorum.

etc...

[TehAuroraWolf]

@VirFortunaeLucisque Amen.

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

Hodie si vocem eius audieritis "nolite obdurare corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem tentationis in deserto, ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri: probaverunt et viderunt opera mea.

Venite adoremus...

Quadraginta annis proximus fui generationi huic, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde. Ipsi vero non cognoverunt vias meas, quibuse iuravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam".

Deum verum in trinitate. Et trinitate in unitate.

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

Quoniam non repellet Dominus plebem suam, quia in manu eius sunt omnes fines terræ,et altitudines montium ipse conspicit;

Venite adoremus...

quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud: et aridam fundaverunt manus eius.

Venite, adoremus, et procidamus ante Deum, ploremus coram Domino qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, nos autem populus eius et oves pascuæ eius.

Deum verum in trinitate. Trinitate in unitate...

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

I think I figured it out! It's Psalm 94, according to the "Versio Romana' of the Latin Psalter! Here is what I have so far. Please correct if needed! It's a work in progress!

Venite adoremus...

Venite, exultemus Domino: jubilemus Deo salutari nostro. Præveniamus faciem ejus in confessione: et in psalmis jubilemus illi.

Venite in trinitate. In trinitate unitate...

Quoniam Deus magnus Dominus: et Rex magnus super omnes deos.

[VirFortunaeLucisque]

Lyrics, anyone?

[Gnowbie]

What is the third image used?

[090513102]

There is no words used by man that can describe this music. It's hard to belive that the heavenly choirs can sing more beautifull. And if they do, i don't think my soul can handle it.

[pimpinjosh12]

dont let satan make u not think u can handle it

[opium25]

@090513102 so cheesy it is unbelievable :) your comment that is

[bizintin]

@090513102 I feel the same way..amazing, grace filled music.

[JwahAmore31]

@090513102 You know, I just said this to myself whilst listening to TOMAS LUIS DE VICTORIA'S

"OFFICIUM DEFUNCTORUM." If you have never heard that (esp. the 1st movement), I suggest you RUSH to listen. You are going to really lose your mind, mate! I promise you this!!! But, yes, this piece (Deum Verum) is VERY moving and I'd like to be in a massive cathedral whilst listening to it live! You?

Cheers, love!

- J

[JwahAmore31]

@090513102 I agree, 100%, mate! Although I LOVE living, I can't wait to get to Heaven to see our LORD, and sing w/the Heavenly Chorus!!! This is a MASTERPIECE!

CHRIST BLESS!

- J

[fieldstonewall]

@090513102 lol, maybe that's part of Purgatory: preparing us for how epic the music is in Heaven.

[musicalprodigy7]

Beautiful, this is amazing <3 I LOVE it!

[macho0072008]

the harmony is nice

[DexAiArthur]

Its beautiful song !!!!!!

[DarkFulanito]

as usual, beautiful!!!

[guerraroberto2]

beautiful chant!!!.. as always, brings thinkings of peace and reflex. Thanks.

God bless you.

[doulevoir]

as usual they are more beautiful song I'm a fan of the group Psallentes. also my former college called The Psallette.
