You my friend have gone down into the ultimate rabbit Hole. Mozart was an absolute genius. He is considered among the greatest, if not the greatest classical composers of all time. He wrote over 600 pieces of music. Operas, Symphonies, Serenades, Concertos, and the list goes on and on. He was a child prodigy. He composed his first piece of music at age five; he had his first piece published when he was seven; and he wrote his first opera when he was twelve. And died at the early age of 35..... Give a listen to this: Symphony No.25 In G Minor, K. 183, 1st Movement. He wrote this at 17 years of age. As others have said check out the movie Amadeus. Considered one of the best films of all time, was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
It would take a professional scribe (or whatever they're called for sheet music) something like 20 years even to just make copies of all his work! Truly an amazing figure, so sad he died so young.
He is nowhere the best composer or anything his themes were really simple just perfected were he could make a simple theme sound divine but other had a lot more substance
Isn't it beautiful? Lacrimosa means tearful or weeping. He was working on this close to his death in the 1700's. Reminds me of how it would sound in heaven. Thanks for doing the classics Jay!! I love experiencing them with you!!
@@Fame_Rate at least how they said it happened in the Amadeus film, see Salieri reacts to Mozart's manuscripts. th-cam.com/video/rvRGAlbiv5g/w-d-xo.html
Jayvee, this is just a part of his requiem - his final composition. Try watching the film Amadeus. It’s about Mozart. Worth giving time to. The world of classical/orchestral music is FULL of fabulous music (and plenty to miss too, as with all music genres)
GREAT movie and soundtrack. Just keep in mind that it isn't historically accurate in the least. Seeing how it is based off a play written hundreds of years after Mozart's death.
This is just one small part of a much longer piece. The full Mozart Requiem Mass is about an hour long. The requiem mass is a Latin text recited for the dead in traditional Catholic ceremonies, and also used in Anglican, Lutheran and other services. It was common for different composers to set this Latin text to their own music. Mozart's is perhaps the most famous, but other composers have famously done their own interpretations of it, such as Verdi, Saint-Saens, Berlioz and Salieri.
@@shosty575 The Brahms Requiem is excellent and very moving, but it doesn't use the Latin text or form so I didn't mention it. There is no "Lacrimosa" for example. But despite that, it is one of my favorite requiems, and one of my favorite Brahms pieces.
You got it man, you described it exactly, how it feels to enjoy this type of music, it takes you, it like takes you up in it and brings you around. To somewhere new, but it’s outside words almost, you grasp at your experience with words, but what happened you is not of words. This is pure sound and yet stirring in an intentionally calibrated way. These pieces like with Mozart, they’re like poems, but poems written with sound and experienced in the language of emotion.
@@oaktree1628 of course I've heard that a million times, kind of a Pomp and Circumstance. Sull'aris, her voice,, Again, thanks for putting me on the right track, Great Google search for quarantine,, now I can listen to it often, and remember what peace there is in silence.
Lacrimosa is about crying. This is part of music for a funeral mass. Mozart died before it was done. His colleagues finished it. You should watch the movie Amadeus. About Mozart. It's excellent.
Lyrics sung in Latin for this section: Lacrimosa dies illa Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen English translation: Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall arise The guilty man to be judged; Therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord Jesus, Grant them eternal rest. Amen.
My late father always played "Claire de Lune" on the piano when I was a child. It always makes me feel nostalgic whenever I hear it. Nice suggestion for Jay to listen to.
So much more to hear. Try Handel: Water Music. Bach: Brandenburg Concertos, Pachelbel: Canon, Vivaldi: The Four Seasons. You will be surprised that you have heard some of this before. There’s a lot of great music and you’re just scratching the surface.
This is part of Mozart's Requiem. Also, here's a fun fact... he did 12 variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman (what we call "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star). th-cam.com/video/hCKBl-TpRzc/w-d-xo.html But if you're looking for one of his most recognizable works... try his Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Here's the entire thing (20 minutes)... but it's the 1st movement that people will recognize the most, which is only about 6 minutes long. Entire thing: th-cam.com/video/o1FSN8_pp_o/w-d-xo.html First movement: th-cam.com/video/UzEX0-nwN4Y/w-d-xo.html
You have just become the " SUPERSTAR " of reactors the last 75yrs of varies styles rock, country, jazz, prog, rap, pop, etc. all great but this covers masters over 'HUNDREDS' of years !!!!!!
I only know a handful of classical pieces but Chopin's Polonaise in A Flat Major Opus 53 is one of my favorite pieces of music. Will definitely have to check out the others mentioned here.
If you react to “Fastasie Impromptu” watch a pianist playing it. Or “La Companella” by Liszt, one of the most difficult pieces ever to play on the piano. It’s impressive to watch someone play either one.
The "Lacrimosa" is a small portion of a long poem ("sequence" or "tract") that was part of the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead ("Requiem Mass") during the hundreds of years of the Tridentine Latin Rite. The poem as a whole is known by its opening words, "Dies Iræ" (Day of Wrath). It is about the Last Judgment, complete with visions of horror and punishment, begging for mercy for the dead (and for the self), etc. Not a pretty picture. This particular portion, the Lacrimosa, is typical in its pathos (in the sense of the misery, fear and supplication so effectively evoked by Mozart). The Latin words with a mostly-literal English translation are: Larcrimosa dies illa, (On that day of weeping) Qua resurget ex favilla (when shall rise from the ashes) Judicandus homo reus. (guilty man to be judged) Huic ergo parce, Deus: (Have mercy upon him, God) Pie Jesu Domine, (Gentle Lord Jesus,) Dona eis requiem. (Grant them rest.) Amen. (So be it.) The Lacrimosa is relatively calm in contrast to other portions of Mozart's Requiem, such as the "Rex tremendae maiestatis" (King of Terrible Majesty) and various supplications like "Libera me de ore leonis" (Deliver me from the mouth of the lion) and "Ne absorbeat me Tartarus" (Do not let me be absorbed into Hell). Mozart's composition is tame. For real roller-coaster rides, try the Requiems of Verdi or Berlioz.
My eyes filled with water as I watched your video. I love Mozart and I loved the description of your feelings as you listened to him. Thank you for that!
Back in the days when I was in the choir, I sang Requiem. I cannot express what feeling is ti do that. It is like your inner ground is shaking all the time.
If you were wondering what they were singing: Full of tears will be that day When from the ashes shall arise The guilty man to be judged; Therefore spare him, O God, Merciful Lord Jesus, Grant them eternal rest. Amen.
It's a beautiful thing the way you allow yourself to be totally open to everything you're listening to, and the more so because you have such a musical ear and heart...
A truly great song! Evanescence has a powerful song called Lacrimosa and they sample Mozart's song. You should react to that one as well. That would be so cool.
Do Mozart's "Queen Of The Night" aria from his opera The Magic Flight. Its a masterpiece and the incredibly hard piece to sing by a woman is spectacular. Its beautiful! You just Have to check it out! :)
Mozart's "Requiem", which this is from, is one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I highly suggest listening to the next two movements after Lacrimosa, "Domine Jesu" and "Hostia"... amazing... the transition from Lacrimosa to those just gives me shivers
Classical, always my favourite music, by many a mile. Beautiful and timeless, this stuff never has a sell by date. Mozart was incredible touched by an everlasting greatness.
What a gift he gave to the world! I remember being part of a massive schools choir that performed the entire "Requiem" (which includes "Lacrimosa") at the Sydney Opera House. To be a part of something like that with a full orchestra, the sound created was so pure....special memories. Would definitely recommend as others have watching the film "Amadeus" - you get to learn and understand Mozart as a composer as well as hear all his incredible music which accompanies the storyline.
Great sentiment/reaction: the musical lifting ascension of notes...”floating in the clouds”....”gates (of heaven) opening, transporting you”. Probably exactly what Mozart was aiming for.
HURRAY!!! This is my favorite Mozart. I cannot contain myself when I listen to this. I get whole body goosebumps. Thank you for listening to our suggestion! You get it.
I love how your body rocks with the beats, and then when you deeply connect with the music, you immediately stop rocking... That's really great! You can listen to music a vertically and horizontally. When we rock our body to the music, that's most likely because we are connecting to music vertically. Sometimes, especially in music like this with beautiful counterpoint/ inner-voice lines, connecting with the music horizontally and flow linearly with the music takes you to a whole different realm of listening experience!! :) Loved seeing you enjoying that!
I'm all a'tingle, feeling it for the first time again along with you. My mom figured out one way to get my spastic kid-self to sit still was to blast some epic music--classical to Mamas and the Papas. Stay so open to what these vibrations do to you. Love it!
Another beautiful piece of Mozart is the slow movement of his clarinet concerto. We played it at my wedding and it was playing as my daughter was born. Such a beautiful way to enter this world. When you can, go to a classical concert. There's nothing like it. I'd recommend some Dvorak(New World Symphony).
I love that you're experiencing classical music. The nice thing about classical is that there are so, so many composers and they're all astoundingly different.
How about giving Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe a listen. Mixture of classical opera plus Freddie! It’s perfect from start to finish
Classical music breings joy happynase Love and peace to the soul I'm happy people still watch Classical music thank you guys for watching classical music.
Love seeing your reaction to this! Doesn't matter that someone other than Mozart wrote it, it still gives me chills too after hearing it many times. There's lots of other music that will do the same and the more you listen to new (to you) stuff, the more stuff you'll have opened yourself up to enjoying. Win, win, IMHO. xx
This always brings tears to my eyes, darling little Wolfie dying at only 35 and a paupers burial. If there is a heaven I hope he's up there looking down on us and realising how loved and admired his work is. Pure Genius, the best.
This is 300 years old, and timeless. It blows my mind when I hear people say it’s just old. Mozart wrote his first scale opera at 12.
The guy was a genius who inspired millions of musicians across ages... And a meme god!
first symphony at 8….
People who say such things are morons. Purge them from your life.
You do realize that you said it's short.. it's based on a larger story a longer situation
I think this guy Mozart has potential😎😜
shame he died so young
If love to hear his new stuff 🤔
Best part is to listen to lacrimosa and realize that who wrote it was the meme lord of the romantic period... A legend
hahah :)

It's part of his Requiem, which is a choral piece for church as part of a funeral or similar to remember the dead and praise god

Mozart was a musical genius. Try his masterpiece, “A Little Night Music”. It may sound familiar.

Definitely not. Mozart and Salieri respected each other. Salieri even trained his son.

@@zivanajadresic8604 but still. Imagine saying that Schubert disliked Beethoven. This is the exact same thing. Schubert adored Beethoven

This is from Mozart's Requiem. He was composing it when he died, it's about 45 minutes long and it's so beautiful.

It's remind me of Genei Ryodan, "Can you hear us? We are playing a requiem for you."
You closed your eyes while listening. Because Mozart does that, transports you to somewhere you’ve never been.

We sang the entire Requiem when I was in high school. This my favorite song. I found myself singing the alto line... and it's been a minute. ❤
Classical music breings joy happynase Love and peace to the soul I'm happy people still watch Classical music thank you guys for watching classical music.
Love seeing your reaction to this! Doesn't matter that someone other than Mozart wrote it, it still gives me chills too after hearing it many times. There's lots of other music that will do the same and the more you listen to new (to you) stuff, the more stuff you'll have opened yourself up to enjoying. Win, win, IMHO. xx
This always brings tears to my eyes, darling little Wolfie dying at only 35 and a paupers burial. If there is a heaven I hope he's up there looking down on us and realising how loved and admired his work is. Pure Genius, the best.
When listening to the masters..Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach Others....you see more with your eyes closed, while listening.
Glad to see tears in your eyes, because this lacrimosa means the tearful stage, part of this “ requiem”, which is a funeral composition
