4.Mozart's Requiem - Tuba mirum (lyrics+translation)

[damorar]

Very nice drawings. You are talented!

[dominoes37]

Did Mozart compose this?? or was it the guy who finished the requiem?

[asdf841]

Wahs in the trombone made me lol XD

[DackIsBack]

I don't know why... but this makes me think of Muse... lol.

[JayMarie003]

Is all of the art you put on these videos yours??

[R4UL92]

il tenore 

è Francisco Araiza!

[Neonalfax]

It's a little too fast for me... I personally did not like how he passed from "Cum resurget creatura" to "judicanti responsure." in 1:05

[Sonofkong0]

great art however I would honestly prefer some not unique religious looking art as oppossed to these neutral portraits

[Johananful]

Correction, soprano and alto, of course... :)

[Johananful]

Names of the soprano and mezzo soprano, please?

[RoboSlater]

My favorite version. Of course, Peter Schreier, the conductor, is a world-renown tenor himself and perfectionist who knew how to prepare the choir.

[trey1177]

dissing the trumpet...... noooo they have insulted the classical trumpet my dear friends

[kirbymage]

I really like this piece but what bugs me is that the tenor sings an A-natural @0:58 when the score indicates A-flat. I hear this error in many recordings of tuba mirum I dont know why its so hard to sing an F-minor arpeggio... Its too bad because he has a beautiful voice

[olialto7]

@kirbymage Ah, now as I understand it, there is no original score with which musicians are totally satisfied. That is why so many different versions exist, 'finished' by scholars like Beyer and Maunder et al. And we don't know exactly which note Mozart might have preferred for absolutely definite. This may be the source of your irritation, but really, I wouldn't worry about it too much...

[kirbymage]

@olialto7 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I can understand why there would be such debate over Mozart's intentions, especially with other composers having access to the score(such as Eybler and Sussmayr) and with other scholars creating their own versions as you mentioned.The particular copy of the score I have indicates a A-flat, which is why I was confused. I personally prefer the A-flat because the rest of the tenor's solo suggests a minor tonality, but I guess the A-natural is not so bad

[olialto7]

@kirbymage I've actually listened to the bit now, and I do think the tenor here is singing an A-flat, but somehow the brightness of his voice and his vibrato seem to make it sound sharp enough to almost be an A-natural. And come to think of it, I've never heard an A-natural sung in this place before.

[kirbymage]

@olialto7 Perhaps that is the case, as the ear perceptually favors the higher register during a vibrato technique, but I have listened to the note several times and I am still fairly convinced that he sings an A-natural. There is another version posted by the user "bassbariton9" in which the tenor seems to sing an A-natural

[kirbymage]

@olialto7 Also if you compare it to the other versions on youtube such as those uploaded by users @pimidup and @aljazeerkazan it seems like there is a noticeable difference in tonality

[arekkusu888]

This is so beautiful. This used to be my least favorite part of the Requiem, but the more I listen to it the more I like it. Now it's definately my favorite part.

[TheWisemonkey8]

The tenor Peter Schreier is wonderful here. So beautiful so beautiful. Just a quick note for the literalists its an allegory ;s. Gosh the American education system. Kind and most humble regards,

[drakemcbride]

wondrous, not awful translation is off a little

[sepiaprone]

And the rest:

A book, written in, will be brought forth

In which is contained everything that is,

Out of which the world shall be judged.

When therefore the Judge takes His seat

Whatever is hidden will reveal itself.

Nothing will remain unavenged.

What then shall 1 say, wretch that I am,

What advocate entreat to speak for me,

When even the righteous may hardly be secure?

[sepiaprone]

I translate this a little differently; note the first line in particular. This is in two comments, due to length!

A trumpet, spreading a wondrous sound

Through the graves of all lands,

Will drive mankind before the throne.

Death and Nature shall be astonished

When all creation rises again

To answer to the Judge.

[papakarola16]

Great translation!

Congratulations....
