It's been 5-6 years since I heard this piece for the first time and I always wanted to get the lyrics... I also thought they should be in French. I spent some time looking for the lyrics online but I did not succeed... it was until later when I read somewhere that the lyrics in Merten's works are not expressed in any language: they are based on syllables to match the musical notes, what they are singing has no literal meaning.
It might seem repetetive to you, but it´s in fact a minimalistic piece of music. There are some changes to the color of the music and many additions which are exploring the base melody. Minimalistic music is not for everyone. But no one, who knows music on higher level should be calling this kind of music repetitive. Turn on your tv music channel, or a commercial radio and listen to some ,,music", that is some repetitive shit.
Merci merci merci.Monsieur Wim Mertens pour ce bonheur que vous me donnez depuis plus de vingt ans.Avec ce chef d'œuvre vous embellissez bien souvent mes journées.
Que sentido tiene poner que no te gusta... 9 personas votan que no , semejante maravilla puede no encantarte pero de ahi a poner un negativo... ¿Que esperabais encontraros al meteros en el video?
@Provisagie Het spijt me, maar dit is niet de Stadsschouwburg van Leuven. Het lijkt er een beetje op, maar de verlichting is anderes, net als de vloerbekleding van de het podium. Ook het bovenste stuk van het frame van het podium is anders en er zijn geen gapende gaten van de koninklijke coulissen. Los daarvan, prachtige samenwerking. Mooi werkstuk.
The thing is, they aren't actually singing words in an existing language. Wim Mertens uses the human voice as a 'regular' instrument, so the sounds that the voices make don't have any meaning. They only sing sounds, without making (in any language existing) words.
Marvellous upload - christ, I thought I had heard all of his music via Crepuscule but missed this one.....!!Why is he not famous over here? Oh I forgot - the British taste in Music........oh dear... Keep going Wim!!
He is the best musician ever. He is verry close to BAck and Mozart. But his songs 'rock more' or how should i put it? And ha is all ours! BEGLIUM!! xd lolz He's just great.
órales... tiene más audiencia esta copia pirata que la página oficial. Bueno, a la gente le gustan las copias pues.
lo único malo fue la propaganda
And no one screams "Bravo!" ?!?
M'INCANTO!
Exquisito.. No me canso de oírla....<3
Is there anyone french speaker who can write the lyrics here? Thank you very much

alexmottram07 Hey Alex, thanks for the support. I think you are right, and that makes Merten´s music even more interesting.
Exactly Roxelle... Have a Happy New Year!
Thank you very much, Alexmottram07. A great 2015 for you.
Not so good, it's very repetitive
Hi! It was a joke? If it would it is good to sign it with a ":)". It's called repetitive music and Wim Mertens is a famous repetitive composer...
haa I did not know that, I am very grateful for the explanation :)
^ No jokes, I swear.
Géza Lizakovszky I would call minimalist :) and NOT repetitive music

Marvilhoso ....Um encnto de melodia, um encan to do coral, tudo lindo e abençoado-Sõnia
@AristonicoB No creo que llegue a esos extremos. Critical Thinking !! úsalo y veras que eso no tiene sentido.

Don't forget Michael Nyman, who, like Mertens, emphasizes melodic development and emotion more than most minimalists.
thanks Wim!, and thanks you Vectoria1 too ;-))
Maravilhoso!
Espectaculo Total...Saludos desde chile...
