Strange as it may seem to any normal human being out there, I often find myself singing or humming this music all day long during the performance of my daily duties. It's either this Mozart masterpiece or the song Yankee Doodle Dandee. Or if it's raining outside, I can't help singing along with Gene Kelly. I'm a Yankee doodle Dandee, Yankee doodle do or die! James Cagney, what a performance!
Long time too, since I sang that in Salzburg. But this is not a piece of cake, mind you! Quite long in the whole, every movement written in different style and key (!), rhythmically very difficult, sometimes quite polyphone and it seems even polyrhythmic. Wide ranges of pitch for the voices, very tiring. In fact, the best known piece, the Laudate Dominum, is a welcome chance for resting the voice, before it's challenged a last time at the Magnificat. One of Wolferl's absolute masterpieces, but in comparison hardly known. Thank you for uploading it!
So gut ausgedrückt! Ich hatte im vergangenen Mai in Montreal die Gelegenheit, dieses Meisterwerk als Chorsänger (Bassgruppe) zu singen. Es war eine Menge Arbeit für mich, aber auch viel Spaß, Freude und Stolz, unter anderem! Es muss auch gesagt werden, dass es 25 Jahre her ist, dass ich in einem Amateurchor gesungen habe, und dass wir zusätzlich zu diesem Werk viele andere lernen mussten, nur Mozart, insgesamt mehr als 80 Minuten Musik. Hier ist ein Auszug (ich warne dich, wir Chorsänger waren fast alle Amateure): th-cam.com/video/40CsyLAaqzI/w-d-xo.html Übersetzt mit www.DeepL.com/Translator
I've sung in before and I have to agree with you completely. That laudate pueri is tricky. We took it faster and that made it even more of a challenge.
Fully agree with the difficulty of this work. It gives a false impression of being easy, yet it is a monster of difficulty. The Laudate Pueri was a nightmare even for us, experienced tenors. Because singing it without care is easy, but doing the things right is very demanding.
I strongly suspect that Süssmayr had the Laudate Dominum at the back of his mind when composing his completion for the Requiem. What an absolute beauty that movement is...
The score we see here is not what Mozart wrote. Apart from the violins everything was notated in different c-keys so absolute pitch was not an issue because everyone was used to constant transposition. Universal pitch didn't even exist then.

The Laudate Dominum... one of the loveliest utterances in all music!!!
Had to sing the entire piece with a college choir during my freshman year and now I’m lowkey obsessed
Thanks you for uploading this, it's perfect for practicing. The choir is great!
Grandiose, cela se rapproche du sublime et de la transcendance ! Merci, Grazie, Danke, Thanks !
13:27 Fantástic fugue!
Really reminds me of the Kyrie Eleison fugue from his famous Requiem!

You old drunken fellow, thanks for your input.
But don't bother making any more comments here please you old fart.
I have similar symptoms. We have to prepare ourselves to jump over River Jordan in the forseeable future!

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's a magnificient work.

Sang it with my college concert choir. Loved it ever since.
Laudate Dominum [16:52] is most beautiful. I think, it was inspiration for Bellini, Donizetti, Puccini... and so on. Regards.
¡Gracias, Mozart!
Astro fulgido, fulminante, illuminante, eterno e splendente. Mozart, mio divino
Delightful! My favorite movt is the 4th because I like fugues.
wunderbar zum Einstudieren!!

Me and my girlfriend just saw the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra perform this piece. We both really enjoyed it.
This young composer shows promise. With a bit more practise he may in time be able to reach the heights of Salieri. Let us wait and see.
Une musique incroyable, d'une perfection technique absolue.
Да,технически совершенно,но нет Зюйсмара,нет искры божьей....

Amazing work which I’ve never heard! Added to playlist!
Mozart's choral music ... wow. 11:43 17:21
This piece is really beautiful!!
Bellissima
Mozart's sensitivity is very similar to Antonio Vivaldi's
who is singing Laudate Dominum. Such a beautiful voice..
Good 👌
Beatifull 10:30
Anyone else notice this isn't the key that's written? It's a semitone lower. Very very beautiful though!
That's usually the case for period specific performance.
They did great but the tuning was somehow weird throughout
Weird how?
But what they're playing *does* match what is written. It's your brains, that are calibrated on 440. :)
I have perfect pitch, and watching baroque score videos used to be hard for me, but I've learned to read in different modes.
The score we see here is not what Mozart wrote. Apart from the violins everything was notated in different c-keys so absolute pitch was not an issue because everyone was used to constant transposition. Universal pitch didn't even exist then.
Tuning is ok but there are too many notes.
8:00 : )
beautiful version…who is it??
Is this Gardiner’s or Harnoncourt’s version?
Harnoncourt, it's in descrption. ;)
I didn't see it, sorry. Excellent choice, in my opinion Harnonccourt is the best rendition of Mozart's sacred music.
@@juliano7056 Harnoncourt was such a genius. So bummed that I never got to see him ):
This was composed when Mozart was asked to write music for a church music speedrun attempt 😂
