Verdi requiem - dies irae

[AzulaGrondin]

OMG. I managed the sound once in a school play called "Wyrd Sisters". This was the music they play when the witches crawled onto the stage in scene 1.

I never knew...

[hdettmer93]

Our choir is doing this song and I cannot wait to perform it!

[jimbo1066]

at 1.08 the trumpet section dive down to get their mutes. At 1.10 they're back up ready to go. Classic.

[boslang100]

Thanks to PES 2011.

[falcoluminoso]

Musica immortale

falcoluminoso

[littleasshole26]

Is the drum at the bottom right called the bass drum?

[triondrummer]

@littleasshole26 Yes.....its a "Concert Bass Drum"

[violinbird]

0:35 The sign of a great performance - broken bow hair.

[scsteeldrums]

what a wimp on the bass drum

[flushnex]

Thumbs up if you heard this in PEACE TANK. Nuf said.

[robasci00]

3 retarded dislike it

[TemplarOfNight]

at 0:01 the conductor is like " ok... Jesus Christ... here we go... "

Verdi's Dies Irae is a Monster !

[rafaelvicentecarlos]

No Doomsday According To Dr.Stephen Hawking, but it is a pity we will not hear Verdi·s Dies Irae.

[theguycalledchris]

Was that Paul Routledge at 0:46?

[TheMagicofCurtis]

why are their brass behind curtains?

[douzou1192]

@TheMagicofCurtis

It seems that it is a decoration.

[kanazo]

@TheMagicofCurtis for the Tuba Mirum section...Verdi instructed 4 brass bands to be placed in all four corners antiphonally

[kanazo]

@kanazo Correction: That was for Berlioz's, Verdi's called for 4 off-stage trumpets

[douzou1192]

What time of picture is it? There is a noise.

[alahad]

I like vandelli's version a little better, this was an awesome performance though!!!

[NALF67]

we played this in band and at 2:20 it was nerv racking cause i had to play the higher trumpet note

[ecksbawchz4000]

Wow.... way too fast....

[SteveAndrewLangford]

Not a very good representation, may be the recording.

[Romansteel13]

@crackerasspunk

Voltaire influenced Manzoni, Manzoni was regarded as the Voltaire of Milan. Hence why Verdi wrote a requiem on his behalf for his death. He was a giant of a man in the allegorical sense.

[CrackerAssPunk]

This whole setting was written to a deceased poet named Alessandro Manzoni. Danm! Must've been some guy!

[rasrames]

@LeeClaxton people can't help how they look, as you obviously can't help how stupid you are!

[jippylegs]

Ar ti yn twp fel cy

[jippylegs]

Im welsh, your mother wasn't complaing.

[CrackerAssPunk]

Oh snap! Yo mama - NICE!

[Sunflowers159]

This is so amazing to sing. I sang it about 10 years ago in the Royal Albert Hall in London with about 5,000 other singers, a full orchestra and the Albert Hall organ at full blast. We nearly took the roof off!

[Riyuzakisan]

That guy at 0:46 sorta looks like Adam Savage from mythbusters, lulz.

[Riyuzakisan]

@Riyuzakisan

Or Paul Giamatti.

Although Paul Giamatti and Adam Savage do look a lot alike...

[Jandrosc]

OMG! It's true!

[Amemti]

You performed in this choir?

[Plagiarisme]

This is more than art... This is the émotion of vengeance =D Dies irae dies illa qua resurget ex favilla :p

[MsKirstieLee]

our school band is going to perform this piece when its all polished, sadly we dont have a choir =/ oh well

[SilentWalruss]

at :34 the man in the glasses in the middle looks like adam savage from mythbusters.

[realmitKO]

@SilentWalrussi

would say more like Philip Seymour Hoffman

[matheusao]

the most glorious and enraged pieces of music

[RiotMoshPit]

Goes really good with Raphael's St. Michael slaying the Dragon

[Nox979]

in not music, THIS IS ART.

[donniecatalano]

Are you normal?

[feggerikko2]

viva l'italia per i suoi lati migliori come la musica classica

[twiltot]

yes it is:D:D

[willowpuff]

WHAT?! I think NOT.

[flograd]

i just love it <3 ^^

[Predking1234]

someone dropped something at 1:34 ?

[Glyndwr65]

Indeed they did! I was singing in this performance and it was someone in the brass, perhaps dripping the mute off their trumpet. Also if you listen very carefully you hear a pile of dishes being dropped off stage at 1.42!

[chriscomic]

@Glyndwr65

Lol, that sounded like it was possibly a triangle or something. Makes more since unless this was a special Dinner Symphony:)

[Ritzounett]

the dropping was in tune!

[MrDanotheking]

@Predking1234 keen observation, young one

[gr1peh1n1]

@Predking1234 it's the day of the last judgment my friend (Dies Irae), a lot of things will fall :)

[debartzen]

Contenido y maravilloso Rizzi,pero no es Abbado.¡Grande!

[davecoleman12]

Does anybody know who the conductor was in this clip?

[Glyndwr65]

It was Carlo Rizzi

[KristaXkore]

@Glyndwr65  i would kill for his hair.

[davecoleman12]

Great attack from the brass in the 'tuba mirum' here..very exciting!

[aquilaitalica]

Viva VERDI ( Viva Vittorio Emanuele Re d'Italia) was a criptic way of Italian patriots to acclaim Vittorio Emanuele II king of a united Italy.

[stevenstreets2]

Some day im going to figure out how to use tuba Mirum for a wake up alarm on the computer. Quests waking up at my house sometimes have the treat and they always thank me.

[lazysoder2]

The beginning part sounded like the tune that was playing in Star Wars Episode 1 when Darth Maul was fighting Quai Gon and Ob Guan.

[dondonp12004]

1) Don't you mean Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

2) The John Williams-composed "Duel of the Fates" from "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" sounded a little bit like the Verdi-composed "Dies Irae".

3) Both pieces are awesome!

[krychuwad]

I simply love it :).

[stillonward]

Wow - that's a super tune!
