Gregorian Chant - "Dies Irae"

This is a rendition of the famous 13th century Latin Catholic hymn, "Dies Irae" (or, "Day of Wrath," about the Second Coming of Christ and Judgment Day). This rendition is off the 1994 CD, "Ego sum Ressurectio," and is difficult to find.

This music transcends religion. It is melodic and beautiful in every way.

[Aimie Coltelli]

i hate this type of music oh my god

[Tawnosus]

My bad, Roman Catholic Latin speakers :)

[Tawnosus]

Yes, but not only Christians can enjoy it, thus transcendence :)

[NicPap12]

It actually doesn't transcend "religion." It's a product of Christianity.

This chant is a different scale with tones slightly off from the current, less mellow, notes. It is a harmony of voices without instruments; hence, it is of the same nature as all other chants, such as Asian. This is why the sound, by itself, is mesmerizing. As to the canard of religion causing wars; they were fought by peasants but they do not attack other peasants. We need to be free of the lords, but in the US they have returned. Now, we fight wars constantly and each other. Chant on...

No, it's actually not true religion is responsible for most wars. Most were caused by territorial disputes. The 20th century was the most bloody, irrational century in human history-nothing to do with religion. National Socialism=Social Darwinism, scientific racism, nationalism, eugenics, and Nietzscheism. The French Revolution executed far more people in a single year than the supposedly terrible Spanish Inquisition did in its entire history.
