Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2010-2011. HQ Full Show with Music Part I

I made the soundtrack and the ending as a tribute to Lee. The soundtrack is not the one used on the show and it's not official.


Gabriel Fauré - In Paradisum
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Lacrimosa
Alexander Porfiryevitch Borodin - Chorus Of Slave Girls
Jean-Philippe Rameau - Tristes Apprets
Gregorio Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus
Antonio Vivaldi - Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Georg Friedrich Händel - Zadok, the Priest. Coroation Anthem No. 1


The first song, "In Paradisum", is a Requiem used in Catholic Masses when someone dies. It has been said that Fauré wrote the song because his father died and, two years later, his mother died too. I wanted to use it as the first song, the "opening" one, for obvious reasons. Fauré even said that people would criticize his Requiem for not expressing all the pain and sadness that death causes, but that it was the idea behind the song, a song that portrayed death as a happy and delivering experience because, for the dead person, being actually dead is aspiring to happiness, whether it's because you will see God, or your lost loved ones, etc. In one part the lyrics say "deliver the souls of the departed".

And the last song, the Coronation Anthem of Zadok, the Priest, is a song Handel composed taking inspiration from the Bible but that has been used in british coronations since a long time ago. To me, McQueen was always the king, but his death only made a legend out of him. In some twisted way it was his coronation. The permanent prove that he was the one and that there is never going to be another Lee. God save the King, as the anthem goes.

What's the second song called

[sebastiangaspar]

@Andresamppinedo Lacrimosa, by Mozart.

[PorroFirst]

Was this the last collection that he himself designed?

[sebastiangaspar]

@PorroFirst yeah, very last one by the man himself

[futurecreator2050]

This clothes wasn't made for royalty, it was made for THE GODS to wear. Maybe that's why McQueen left us, he was way to good to stay on earth and design for mortals and The Gods took him to make clothes for them to wear!!! I LOVE you McQueen!!!

I agree this is a great tribute to Lee!! Though he would have lost his mind if he found out that people were changing the music to his show that it took him almost two years to pick out in the first place. None the less Great tribute ex. the Lacrimosa!!!
