Great Mass- Benedictus

*Art by my close friend Sara, thequestionmarkofgod (or theqmogvlogs) who's become quite a fantastic artist lately. Take a look here: http://qmog.deviantart.com*

The final portion that Mozart attempted (the credo was not completed beyond the incarnatus est, and the orchestration is sparse. The sanctus-benedictus was partially lost, and this recording is a reconstruction. The Agnus Dei was never started, so far as we know.): Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest! "The text of the second part (of the sanctus), beginning with the word Benedictus, is taken from Matthew 21:9, describing Jesus' Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem." -Wikipedia

SOUNDS THAT PUT ONES MIND AT PEACE. Powerful

[sonata1992]

What's fun with that is that the picture is actually of souls in hell :D

Delighted you enjoyed it, Geerup. Try listening to the whole mass in sequence sometime, I have a playlist on my profile with the parts in order. The mass is greatly incomplete, but the impression of it as an almost whole is still incredible.

OMG I came to listen to this as it is in the related videos to the new art slideshow I put up and I see Geerup's comment... that gives me a most wicked giggle : )
