Kyrie Rex Virginum

[shiftypowers871]

Deus Vult!

[jtaforJesus]

brilliant...love following along with the music!!

[baconbag]

Good interpretation.

[DeHeld8]

this is the basis for Machaut's Kyrie from his Messe de Nostre Dame right?

[HewieOfHG]

Lord King Of Vergins LoL

[TheMauthe]

meraviglioso!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FelG1022]

Isn't a little bit like the Kyrie of Guillaume de Machaut, no? /watch?v=4vADjiznPm0

[DeniseQuack]

this is so hardcore

[Thecoldwaterfall]

Its like hearing angles sing!

[czesss]

nearly identical with Cunctipotens genitor Deus Kyrie

[mecheverriadiaz]

@czesss En efecto. Es la versión "con tropos" del Kyrie Cunctipotens genitor Deus

[FrAugustine431]

The verses are meant to be chanted by a cantor as I recall, not by the whole choir. That's what I've seen in all the manuscripts and such published by people like the Henry Bradshaw Society. If there is another view, I'd be happy to hear it. But, this is great, nevertheless.

Perhaps my hearing isn't too well, and they are chanting the verses with a few cantors?

[MrUpo]

Parfait contre le stress. Perfect against the stress.

[memyselfandi337]

beautiful truly beautiful

[ilker246]

this song sucks,i don't like this type mucis

you buy songs like this for

59,-

[Twe4kbynight]

You sir, have no appreciation for music outside of your own, little paradigm.

[DollarAtheist]

That's awfully sad for ilker246. What's worse is that I am atheist and I even enjoyed listening to instruments like this. I think I will just find another music like NASA's music. :P

[MarylandGurl]

Ha, you can't even spell. This song does not 'suck' it is beautiful and moving. If you do not like it, then why did you even listen?

[Dictator300]

You write like a child, and yet you still denouce such a masterpiece!

Weren't you taught better than that?

[hebesphenomegacorona]

@ilker246 you're so dumb

[Fenner1976]

@ilker246 Not a very intelligent comment. If you don't like it, that's fine, but have the substance to back it up instead of embarrassing yourself. This type of music is timeless. I'm glad to see that so many people appreciate it, and what it means. My musical taste is quite broad, but I regularly listen to Gregorian Plainsong, more often as a way of relaxation, but equally to appreciate our history, and the way in which it has shaped much of what we know today.

[MsOwlyn]

C'est magnifique!...every night i play this song till morning. I feel no stressed hear this song..Spiritus Domini also great to hear.

[doulevoir]

my preferred song,it is so short.

[gre8]

I don't really understand a lot about gregorian, but in certain portions of this beautiful chant, I can hear a background "hum" that reminds me a lot of the "isson" used in greek chants.

I'd like to ask those who understand more than I do. Does it have any connection to the eastern tradition on chants?

Anyway, beautiful, solemn and powerful rendition.

Congratulations

[eugatm]

well.. The eastern churches are connected to the Catholic church (they were all part of the Universal Church). So traditions (chants, hymms) might have changed a bit after the break.

[jackiethefantabulous]

The eastern meaning the Byzantium Empire? Or the eastern European countries? Western Europe was uber Christian and the East was Islamic.

[eugatm]

I meant to say the Eastern Churches WERE. But I mean Constantinople (now Istanbul) were under the Catholic Church, until they split off cuz of invasions and so on. But the NOW eastern churches (all sorts of Orthodox) probably still have similar traditions.

[918790]

yes there is a very strrong connection with eastern chants infact the origin of gregorian chant comes from arab and far east melodies, infact the mozarabic chant is a great part of the gregorian tradition.

[rogermoore27]

wonderful music.

[JaredChacon]

Laudemus Iesus iugeter!

[henjokongo]

What does "Troped" mean?

[quijote347]

In this case it means that words have been added to the original melody - this was very common in the middle ages. The original melody had many different notes, and to remember them all, each note recieved a new syllable, making up a new tekst...

[Sulocco]

I love singing with it as well, though I have to bump mine up an octave! ;)

[HewieOfHG]

is this one of those chants brfor a sarimony or is it a sacrofisial chant i get those cunfused alot
