I'm 17 and I wish music was still like this.

Just remember: All of that rap will either be forgotten in a decade's time, or be relegated to dusty old lists, while such as this shall remain immortal, or at least mostly so. It makes me want to forgive you for your name. ^.^

This was commisioned for Queen Elizabeth, receipts are there to prove it. I hope that Queen Elizabeth the second is remembered by such a glorious piece of music in half a thousand years time. She deserves it, a fine person.

So beautiful and haunting. It transported me mentally out of a very unsavory day. Heaven's choir.

This piece haunts my soul.... in a good way, of course! The score is pretty amazing to see as well.

[geoherbluv3]

this may be the most beautiful piece of music ive ever heard. If Ye Love Me by Tallis too. the only rival to these is Mozart's Ave verum corpus

@josemarcosirbr I couldn't agree more...

[AbandonedPanda]

Who could possibly dislike this?

[Typharius]

Breath taking and beautiful music that is indeed timeless.

@updownleftrightinout It's from the Renaissance. The "Dark Ages" ended with Charlemagne.

@updownleftrightinout Dark ages ended with William the Conqueror. This music was penned at the end of the middle ages. A staggering 40 part motet yet to be bested.

@LiberalsSuckPeriod While a great many of the things that the 'dem's" are doing have much to do with 'too much wealth' in the political system, I hardly think that the 'dem's' caused it?

And what does this have to do with art? We all have the power to create multiple youtube accounts for our multiple youtube interests here! Why your unrelated account name here?

You want to attach you neocon fantasies with the most sublime portions of human history?
