Ho i brividi.

La morte E' spaventosa, non c'è religione che ne possa attenuare lo sconvolgimento che mi provoca...

[Dez13040287]

Scary music

[sErgEantaEgis12]

Every single note of this is a testament to the madness of mankind's existance.

[Thecorrectopinion]

Anyone know what picture that is? Is that a Bosch?

STALLAGH

[LupusLife]

This music is gonna give me nightmares. I was thinking due to the photo that it would be upbeat. Something I could shake me ass to. Boy was I wrong. I could only listen to a minute of it before I had to stop it so I could add in my little two cents. : )

[SuparMonkey]

Play this to someone tripping. Welcome to hell.

[theprof1958]

@SuparMonkey

It is known that Kubrick experienced psychedelic drugs (e.g. LSD) in the 60s

More than half of his Space Odissey's soundtrack is Ligeti's music :-)

[karkelkhan]

I would play this at my funeral just to scare the shit out of people as a last ultimate joke. I am one of the few that actually love this piece, its beautiful, it transcends humanity.

[theprof1958]

@EPICBEAR73

Thanks to urban dictionary I understood you was not insulting me :-)

Then I saw you are 17, and as a teacher I have known thousands of 17s

It's MANDATORY to use 'bad' words!

Example (talking of Mona Lisa during a visit to the Louvre)

"Wow, dude! It's fucking cool the SOB who made that hot drawing. He must be shitty full of money to live in a place like this..."

[BTW, did the sentence before did make any sense?]

[evilegg288]

This piece has inspired me. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go and beat up a skeleton.

[vcomini1]

omg... 6.39..... bellissimo! 

[123must]

Avevo timore di non trovare più questa splendida composizione di Liget nelle mie playliist:

Ancora grazie !

[MrLeeKnees]

Ligeti > Penderecki any day

[burcham8]

I like music like this. I wish I could hear these kinds of sounds when composing. However, I'm too much of a romantic!

[tapadeolla]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIH



[darkallegiance666]

This is beautiful music.

[alchemist889]

This is what you play at the funeral of someone who has gone to hell.

[theprof1958]

@alchemist889

For sure: I have left written request to play this to my atheist funeral

I cannot accept the idea of spending eternity and beyond with people like Jesus Christ and his father

I prefer eternal death

By far

[mutualxslump]

@theprof1958 It's funny you should say that, because the name of this piece is "Kyrie", a transliteration of Greek κύριε (kyrie), vocative case of κύριος (kyrios), meaning "Lord", is the common name of an important prayer of Christian liturgy, which is also called the Kýrie, eléison (Greek, Κύριε, ἐλέησον, for "Lord, have mercy").

I think more atheists should study what they hate. I am an agnostic, and I study world religion a lot.

[theprof1958]

@mutualxslump

I study world religion, too, since I learnt to read:

I was Catholic of course, and I got many Sacraments: Baptism, Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance. I also studied Catechism

Each religion has its peculiar crazyness. Big religions have done the largest number of victims, of course, but little ones do their 'best' to make our earthly misery depper and deeper.

Think of Mormoms, Jehovah's Witnesses or Dianetics, to name a few...

[TheTomWIlliams]

2001 space odessy soundtrack

[generictitlemaster]

Oh my, this is frightening

[Lalli1987]

Megnézném ennek a kottáját.

I would love to see a sheetmusic for this.

[videomakkers]

Great. This music apears on 2001 space odyssey

[bmosley45]

I think just playing this song will open some dark maw.

[shaperofsound]

@bmosley45  music cannot be evil! so i think not!

[Opuntervold]

it's so scary that i graduately turn down the music, not to too freaked out

[theprof1958]

@Opuntervold

Yesterday night I have listened to a newer version, with earphones:

It's one of my all time favorite compositions

Try also this

watch?v=gb6oSNSz35A

[Opuntervold]

@theprof1958

The man's a genius, I haven't heard compositions like this before

[vkoracx]

@theprof1958

where can I find that newer version?

THIS IS MADNESS

[ryguy000]

If anyone can enlighten me, how exactly was this piece made? Like, did he write melodies for the people to sing? Or...

[0180917]

this + the stargate sequence = terrifying

[JaniceMaya]

omg that scream on 7:05 is frightening!

[theprof1958]

@JaniceMaya

Death is not honey. Even who believes in life after death is desperate when a relative or a friend has gone. That's why I love this and Mozart's requiem.

They show death as IT is: frightening

[JaniceMaya]

@theprof1958 I was talking about the music. I don't think you can say that death is frightening like it's a fact. That's a personal opinion. I'm arbitrary if it comes to things like that. I can not know for sure whether there is life after death. No one can. We can just guess. It's human to be afraid of the unknown, and through history this stereotyped image of death has been created; horror, anxiety etc. Death is presented as something horrbile, which it may not be, so why be scared?

[gonrolgonrol]

@theprof1958 Mozarts requiem is a more pleasent journey than Ligetis though ;)

[pauobiol]

this is darkness, blood, vomit, suffering, tears, death... love it :D!

[fleshyechidna]

damn look at the size of that oboe! and the little dude in it is just holding his thumb up like YEAAAAH!, and the guy with the flag hat is like YEAAAAAH!

[JaniceMaya]

@fleshyechidna yeah I think that's what the painter meant by it ;) xD

[radiootoo]

I can't begin to describe the memory of sitting suspended (1st row balcony!) in space at the old Martin Cinerama, St. Louis on opening weekend of "2001". It was my eighteenth birthday. Ligeti and I were made friends that fateful night....

[GreatRevanger93]

The kyrie is my favourite part, from 00:00 a 06:15

[Bagas]

What on earth is this? Must be some form of dark ecstasy

[ipsos2007]

Very excellent !

[saintsaens21]

it should be called "scenes from hell", amazing stuff

[sucramnormark]

So haunting

[123must]

non per nulla è stato utilizzato da un altro genio: Stanley Kubrick!

A lot of Thanks

[theprof1958]

@123must

Kubrick ha avuto un solo "difetto" nella sua vita: ha fatto troppo pochi film!

E così sono stato 'obbligato' a vederli tutti cinque o sei volte ed ognuno mi ha lasciato un segno indelebile, a cominciare da Orizzonti di gloria, che per un pacifista totale come me fu una vera rivelazione...

[Silks]

I can imagine this piece is extremely hard to perform. Pretty damn impressive.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

i know where to get the full composition, a re-recorded version, plus sheet music, I was planning on posting up but then another youtub channel had the song from the 2001 soundtrack but it was removed because of "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. " ect...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

the full composition?...

[theprof1958]

@TEMPmichaelhansen

look in the "more information" section

[sucramnormark]

@theprof1958 I would really like to know the title of that painting

[theprof1958]

@sucramnormark

It is on the cover of the first vinyl edition of Ligeti's Requiem (1965 circa)

The Garden of Earthly Delights

painted by the early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid

Look for it in wikipedia if you want deeper details

[ytrewq3141]

Does anybody know the name of the picture or at least by whom it was created?

[eliasardila]

@ytrewq3141 Jheronimus Bosch. "Tuin der lusten"  (Museo del Prado, Madrid)

[KronnangDunn]

@eliasardila Translation: "THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS"

[KeithHutchinsonYT]

Many thanks again.

[MrsDepp2]

que miedo! No soportaria oirla sola y todo oscuro

[theprof1958]

It's a requiem, not a musical :-)

[KeithHutchinsonYT]

This work is incredible! I would love to see the score, any suggestions?

[theprof1958]

Look in the "more informations" section

to the right of my picture

[theprof1958]

I have found the score for voices and piano. If you are interested write me privately (look my channel for web site and email address)

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

I was obsessed with this composition for years, then discovered there was a 30 minute version, and the local university has this plus the SHEET MUSIC. I was going to post it till i discovered that another video was taken down because "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. " also the SOUNDTRACK vol 2 has another excerpt from this composition...

[HerrWozzeck]

I think Universal Edition has a copy of the full score. Beware: it tends to charge copious amounts for paper, although in this case it's kind of easy to understand as the paper used for this work is incredibly tall.
