...assuming that the presiding priest is patient enough to sit through 26 minutes of the Gloria, when it usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes to sing at most Masses today.
A comment on the ClassicalMusicGuide's comments: The reader unfamilar with the background on this piece should note that Mozart did not finish this work. It is missing half the Credo, the Great Amen, the Agnus Dei, and a few other parts. However, of what is completed, only the Credo would not be suitable as written because it is the only part of what has been written that is unfinished. The rest of what is completed could, in theory, be used even in today's liturgical form.
What the fuck is with fans of metal and rock having to point out that they like metal and/or rock but that they also appreciate classical music? Congratu-fucking-lations!
Too bad he didnt have a simple modern audio recorder or copier in his house....because there are many of his works that are still listed as 'missing' or 'lost'...bummer.
@PhysicalsimForever Sorry to interfere, but I have to argue with these fact like statements you made. I'm not saying that you are not right more or less, but not using the correct POV. Besides, is science all wrong and bad for giving us atomics, weapons, globalism, etc? I don't think so. So why would religion or beliefs alone be bad? Everything is what we make of them. Science and religion are just easy to be used as tools of power. I think this is as simple as that. ;)
How far beyond words this prayer resides? How far beyond?
Not only in Amadeus it may be heard ... Also a film by R.Bresson "A Man Escaped" is somehow pervaded by this music, by this prayer. Besides this music, the film contains just echoes for the world outside the prison walls. No sound additives, just pure life and this Kyrie. The prisoner knows just so little about his chances to escape, yet he tries, and finally he does. And whatever the allegory is, it speaks of inner passion of a Man.
Mozart was an anomaly. He was at least 500 years ahead of his time if you ask me. For living 35 years, he wrote more than anyone, and each one just as good as the last. This is proof, along with all his other 626 works.
@Lenangreal Beethoven? Excellent, and a genius - of course. But he cannot be compared to Mozart, the genius of geniuses according to Albert Einstein, the "Musical Christ" as Tchaikovsky named him, a man who brought light in Music, and he let us all enter a different dimension (yet to be discovered entirely). Also Beethoven, who admired him and who was influenced by him, would have acknowledged this.
I still cannot find all the pieces of my brain that are scattered all over my room. I'm sure some of them flew through walls and windows and they are gone forever.
@PhysicalsimForever Then keep trying to make the most of your life, because unless you renounce your arrogant ignorance and turn your thoughts heavenward, this will be the only life you get... Oh do i pity you!
Mozart never completed this piece. In its current form, it is played as he left it, incomplete. He wrote it as a note of thanksgiving for his wife Constanza surviving an illness that almost killed her. If I have my information correct, he bargained with God: Spare her, and I will write a solemn High Mass in Your honor. She lived, and we now have this masterpiece.
@CBordages You have to laugh, though. One of the stages of grief is bargaining with God (i.e., "If you do this, God, I promise to do x,y,or z.") Like the great majority of people who make such bargains with God, though God fulfills his part of the bargain, we don't fulfill ours. Alas, Mozart shows in this unfinished work he is human. Though God healed Constanza, Mozart didn't complete the Mass!
I'm a lead guitarist in a rock band and I have to say, this is the greatest piece of music I've ever heard. If this music doesn't move you, you don't know what music is.
What is the point of looking at the singers - it just detracts from the music. All classical music venues should have the seats facing away from the musicians!
@kourosh89 You made me laugh! Not that I have anything against your musical preferences. However, 200 years from now I am certain that the name Mozart will still be around. (As it has been around for the past 250 years, already!) Not sure I can say the same about 'Lil Wayne'. But, hey, at least you got 'some' culture by clicking on this clip. Bravo!
@kourosh89 You are an imbecile, ( IDIOT ) just figured i throw that in there for you :) . Since you consider lil wayne real music, then your IQ can't be to high, I pity you .
@ericbelify It's Mozart living in that person !!! That person cannot perform this good without music sheets, tempo, scale... of course he must get credit, but we must also give credit to the genius that created all that !
Man, this is incredible. The soloist's voice is simply sublime. Perfect for Mozart's writing style. Like, literally...I could not pick a better personification of this solo could sound like.....it's brilliant.
Okay, call me a Philistine but this pales in comparison to Patrick Cassidy's Vide Cor Meum. So far nothing has come close to the emotion and beauty of that. My personal opinion of course...
@dandanthepumpkinman for me, that's like comparing 'Pearl Harbour' and 'Citizen Kane' - Vide Cor Meum is lovely, but it's mostly pretty much the same 4 bars being repeated. Here you have technical mastery in the fugal movement of the parts of the melody, intertwining to suddenly flower into something completely different. Just my opinion though ;)
@samweiss4 and @rlee120585 ah your having a heated argument. Its not religious its just a piece of music. (Not to challenge anyone I'm just fed up with you to fighting.)
@PhysicalsimForever "" I certainly don't go round butchering and raping people who disagree with me like you people do"" The funny part is that THIS IS WHAT ATHEIST ACTUALLY BELIEVE LOL
Your probably one of those mental midgets who thinks that eliminating all religion would cause world peace. Try opening your eyes and looking at the big picture for once, maybe the view will suprise you ;}
@PhysicalsimForever Lol an atheist could never write something like this. All they do is live out their mundane lifes without any purpose or meaning or inspiration simply marching to the grave, hows that atheism working out for you hmm?
@rlee120585 how could you know that mozart intended this music to "glorify god?" And for that matter, what evidence do you have that God exists? I do not want to turn this video into a theological debate, but still...
@samweiss4 im not arguing on the existence of god, what i'm saying is that this piece of music has religious connotations to it. why? because it simply is. it's a mass. and in particular, this is kyrie, if you knew anything about religious or sacred choral music you would know. look it up on wikipedia if you like.
@rlee120585 I understand it is a mass (I am not an idiot), but my point is that for all we know Mozart intended this piece to challenge god. I am not saying that that is the case, but none of us could know how the piece meant to Mozart.
@samweiss4 My point is a factual statement, not to instigate or make any certain assumption about Mozart. I do not know if Mozart was a religious but I do think he was in fact a believer in a God. My assertion is this: This piece is a Mass-Kyrie and by default it is naturally religious, like Bach's St. Matthew's Passion or Handel's Messiah, with religious implications.
@samweiss4 The truth is... This was written for mass. If mass isn't about the Glory of God, about the Love of God, then i don't know what else is? I've been brought up in an atheist family, but I cannot deny, the greatest artists in paint, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry, have been inspired by some element of religion. Even the Greek temples, tragedies, were about gods. There is something undeniably mysterious about the power of the great beyond in human artistic expression.
Does anyone know how many vocalist this piece was origanally written for by Mozart? To me the balance sounds right. Not too over done by having too many people in the chour. This girl Is amazing. Again she is not over doing her part. She sounds just like the little song bird that Mozart was looking for.
Antonio Salieri in Amadeus speaking about Mozart music: "Displace one note... and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase, and the structure would fall. It was clear to me... that sound I had heard in the archbishop's palace... had been no accident. Here again was the very voice of God. I was staring through the cage of those meticulous ink strokes... at an absolute beauty." This makes the idea....
of couse Gloria, since Amadeus takes inspiration from the short play "Mozart and Salieri" written by Aleksandr Pushkin. I was just reporting his speech because i found it deeply touching and passionate. Have a Nice Day listening to this superb music :D
@Y3k666 Then shut the fuck up and worship god, this music was written by a person that had studied music all of his life, he was a one of a kind genius. If you want to give credit to a god thats fucking fine, but it would be far more convincing if this was written by a person who had no experience at all. Even if a person would slip on a bananapeel while having a pencil in his pocket and it flew out and made this piece magically that wouldn't be proof of god.
@RideTheLightning316 Only mortals can read and write;;;everything else is only tradational fuff...To bad when Mozart died, he was buried with all the other commoner's. But, we are all biodegradable: I have never seen or heard of any coffin lined with hundred dollar bill's. You do have excellent.
@DoubleGauss Murry Abarham did such a good acting job in this movie. I love that part where he looses himself and drops Mozarts music all over the floor. You can clearly see his passion for the music. I believe that Mozart is greatest composser of all time, and it was this movie that turned my thirsty ears towards classical music and the masters.
This is such a brilliant piece by Mozart, unfortunate that once you listened to it you can never get the same felling you got when you first heard it!
@1122431567138541 I do...really. that part that starts at 4:15 makes me feel that mozart had in mind centuries of human progress and that he was trying to communicate to us how far we've come as a species on this little spec of a planet in a few thousand years, and of the promise and hopefulness of the future and stuff like that. most likely he wasn't thinking exactly that but that's what I feel he's saying to me. absolutley gorgeous music!
I'm an atheist, but honestly, the only doubt I have about the meaning of supernatural is the music of Mozart. I can't find an answer how it can be made by a mere human being.
@darwinism14 Beethoven also has the ability to transcend what is merely human and take us to another world where even the most stubborn atheist has to be awed at the beauty and ask how can it be. The Masses of Schubert are of equil quality as well.
is it just me, or does it sound more like mozart was trying to atone, as opposed to pray? More like saying Christ have mercy (on me) as opposed to just the prayer
On the date of Mozart's birthday anniversary I was with my wife in the Beaux Arts in Brussels listening to the Great Mass in C with Gardiner...an amazing performance. My wife was pregnant at the time and our baby was reacting to the beauty of the music. When he was born, we called him Elliott
Mozart touches me so profoundly that no words are adequate to describe it. Listening to the Great Mass in C, I need no further proof of the existence of God
@kapost01 i love the speech old Salieri gives in Amadeus when this gorgeous soprano solo is playing - "page after page, as if he were taking dictation from God himslef. This was a music I had never heard, God was singing through this little man (mozart was only 5' 2!). I was staring through a cage of barlines at absolute beauty.."
One of my all time favorite choral pieces. Why can't we place this among mans great achievements instead of crediting its genus to a god? This was written by a gifted musician, one of the best ever, and although this is far from secular music, be under no illusion, this was composed by a man.
Interesting, I thought this was transposed down until I realized that it is being performed with period instruments. In Mozart's day, middle A was not 440, but more like about 402-410 Hz. These may be period instruments, but they are still tuned with equal temperament, which just makes it sound like a transposition.
I've not heard that solo done much better than that, and I've heard it an awful lot (and a lot awful). The only flaw she has is that her eh gets a bit out of shape when she makes the major-14th jump near the end, but it IS a major-14th... not easy for anyone. It's not often that a tenor says this, but it almost makes me wish I was a soprano.
This is beautiful. I love the soloists voice. Who is she?

of couse Gloria, since Amadeus takes inspiration from the short play "Mozart and Salieri" written by Aleksandr Pushkin. I was just reporting his speech because i found it deeply touching and passionate. Have a Nice Day listening to this superb music :D

Agreed. I'm agnostic but if anyone would try to convince me that God exists, music like this probably would be the best proof he got.

@Y3k666 Beautiful the way you have turned it out... I know, Mozart was the best to me

@Y3k666 Then shut the fuck up and worship god, this music was written by a person that had studied music all of his life, he was a one of a kind genius. If you want to give credit to a god thats fucking fine, but it would be far more convincing if this was written by a person who had no experience at all. Even if a person would slip on a bananapeel while having a pencil in his pocket and it flew out and made this piece magically that wouldn't be proof of god.

@RideTheLightning316 Only mortals can read and write;;;everything else is only tradational fuff...To bad when Mozart died, he was buried with all the other commoner's. But, we are all biodegradable: I have never seen or heard of any coffin lined with hundred dollar bill's. You do have excellent.

At 5:02 the file and its contents slip from Salieri's hands and fall on to the floor.
Constanze: "Is it not good" ?
Salieri:(after a pause) "It's miraculous."

@DoubleGauss Murry Abarham did such a good acting job in this movie. I love that part where he looses himself and drops Mozarts music all over the floor. You can clearly see his passion for the music. I believe that Mozart is greatest composser of all time, and it was this movie that turned my thirsty ears towards classical music and the masters.

@Glosuraban Intellect and Classical music have no direct correlation, stop generalizing. "Jizz in my pants" is a joke song anyways.

This is such a brilliant piece by Mozart, unfortunate that once you listened to it you can never get the same felling you got when you first heard it!
1122431567138541 1 year ago
@1122431567138541 I do...really. that part that starts at 4:15 makes me feel that mozart had in mind centuries of human progress and that he was trying to communicate to us how far we've come as a species on this little spec of a planet in a few thousand years, and of the promise and hopefulness of the future and stuff like that. most likely he wasn't thinking exactly that but that's what I feel he's saying to me. absolutley gorgeous music!

I'm an atheist, but honestly, the only doubt I have about the meaning of supernatural is the music of Mozart. I can't find an answer how it can be made by a mere human being.

@darwinism14 Beethoven also has the ability to transcend what is merely human and take us to another world where even the most stubborn atheist has to be awed at the beauty and ask how can it be. The Masses of Schubert are of equil quality as well.

is it just me, or does it sound more like mozart was trying to atone, as opposed to pray? More like saying Christ have mercy (on me) as opposed to just the prayer

On the date of Mozart's birthday anniversary I was with my wife in the Beaux Arts in Brussels listening to the Great Mass in C with Gardiner...an amazing performance. My wife was pregnant at the time and our baby was reacting to the beauty of the music. When he was born, we called him Elliott

Mozart touches me so profoundly that no words are adequate to describe it. Listening to the Great Mass in C, I need no further proof of the existence of God

@kapost01 i love the speech old Salieri gives in Amadeus when this gorgeous soprano solo is playing - "page after page, as if he were taking dictation from God himslef. This was a music I had never heard, God was singing through this little man (mozart was only 5' 2!). I was staring through a cage of barlines at absolute beauty.."

One of my all time favorite choral pieces. Why can't we place this among mans great achievements instead of crediting its genus to a god? This was written by a gifted musician, one of the best ever, and although this is far from secular music, be under no illusion, this was composed by a man.

Akee1990 1 year ago
Interesting, I thought this was transposed down until I realized that it is being performed with period instruments. In Mozart's day, middle A was not 440, but more like about 402-410 Hz. These may be period instruments, but they are still tuned with equal temperament, which just makes it sound like a transposition.

I've not heard that solo done much better than that, and I've heard it an awful lot (and a lot awful). The only flaw she has is that her eh gets a bit out of shape when she makes the major-14th jump near the end, but it IS a major-14th... not easy for anyone. It's not often that a tenor says this, but it almost makes me wish I was a soprano.
