Imagine being a hardworking medieval farmer, entering the church and listening to this chant. Impossible not to think the angels are welcoming you in heaven.
@Christian Trevisan imagine naively thinking it wasn't. Money. Power. The catholic church had that in spades back then. And they sure weren't afraid to show it.
rob062388 The Catholic Church doesn’t do that anymore, other religions such as a lot of Muslim faiths still do to this day. I understand you might have a grudge against the Church for whatever reason but don’t act like it is about any moral reasons. The Church is beautiful and without it as it currently is, millions would literally die of starvation as we are the biggest donors of food/aid than everyone else combined. Let go of your biases and understand the faith before you criticize it. There are many angles to history and it would do you a lot of good to get perspectives from both sides before commenting further.
This music has nothing to do with Christianity, it was composed on Mars for us chimps and we have kindly given you humans permission to listen to it.. 🌍🌍🌙👽👽👽🐒🐵🏃🏃🏃🐍👸👑
My father told me of his best memories growing up in Italy was going to church with his father and hearing the angelic voices of the choir. This reminds me of what he described. I know he is with me every day helping me within the love of God. He was born 1930.

May god bless your dad and take him with open arms to live forever in the shadow of our savior jesus christ. May you be reunited with your earthly and heavenly father in his grace.
I listen to this song every morning, praying my baby will be released from the NICU. He has tuberous sclerosis and he's only 6 days old today. I haven't been able to hold him since he was born. It's been absolutely torturous. I just want my son to be healed. Please pray for my son Levi Michael Gabriel 🙏 Update as of 1/15/2022: We got to take Levi home in late November. He has daily seizures, but he's still a happy go lucky baby that hardly cries. He has been a huge blessing to our family and he's incredibly attached to me. Levi does need brain surgery to remove tubers in his occipital lobe. The tumors I'm his heart have shrunk since he was born on October 11th. Thank you everyone that has prayed for my adorable baby boy. 👶
Although you may not have been able to hold your son, God is holding him. Mark 10: 16And he (Jesus) took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. Jeremiah 1: 5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” People forget that a prophet wasn't just someone who reveals God's word to us, but also teaches God's people. Your son was given a task by God. Your son is teaching God's people to have faith in God.
God will bless you sister.Don't worry.He will be alright.One day after many years you both will hear this song together and look back to this day.Sorry for my broken english.I hope you have a great and happy life ahead
I am an Atheist, sang in choirs for many years, and was in a small a capella group singing motets similar to this, even sang in special church services sometimes to support the religious in our group, went to evensong in Winchester Cathedral to enjoy the singing and wonderful acoustics in our last trip to England, so even though the rituals don't impress me, the range of beautiful music is certainly the one bright light in religion. especially Christianity. The occasional mumbling minister was worth it for the lovely music we could sing.
@@aidanfletcher1236 "the holy spirit flows through this music and changes you". Nope, I love the music but I am still an Atheist, and am not impressed with the Catholic decor of idols. I have been in many Catholic cathedrals in Europe, impressive architecture. My daughter in law is Catholic, so seen it many times. Perhaps a bit more "holy spirit " in the form of sacramental wine would do the job. Music is universal. I listen to Chinese, Russian, all sorts, depending on my mood. Cheers.
It takes talent, and most of all a great deal of personal and spiritual dedication to practice to do what these vocal artists have accomplished in this piece. What's amazing is that works like this show all of us that we all have the capacity and ability to excel in our respective professions, and passions. This piece reminds us that, every day we are alive, we all have before us the opportunity to use our gifts for good, or for ill; it is our choice, and God willing, we will choose for the good.
U fill quickly be relieved. Have trust in God. Always believe in ur religion. And think about ur amazing body. U will soon recover. If our body realizes it there's a huge power that will cure you. Stay blessed.

Fact : Allegri’s ‘Miserere Mei, Deus’ was written in 1638 in the Vatican, as part of his work as a singer in the Sistine Chapel. It was regarded as so special that the Pope ordered that only 3 copies ever left the Vatican: one for the Padre Martini, one for the King of Portugal and one for the Holy Roman Emperor. Playing it on other places punishable by excommunication. Then Mozart when visiting rome happened to hear this masterpiece, went home and transcribed the piece from memory for the entire 15 minutes. At the time Mozart was 14.
And you’re wrong lol While the story you've provided is intriguing, it appears to be a fictional creation. Allegri's "Miserere Mei, Deus" is indeed a renowned composition, but the details about its restricted distribution and Mozart's alleged transcription at the age of 14 are not historically accurate. It's always fascinating to imagine such scenarios, but it's essential to distinguish between historical facts and creative storytelling. You are servants of the devil for not seeking truth
Please be mindful of the effect your last sentence may have on the person you speak to and ask if they are in keeping with your faith. @@PizzaLover-d6n
Yes, and 1638 is post-Renaissance, not medieval as the dopey You Tube generation thinks . That's because they don't know music and don't know the difference between chant (Miserere is not) and polyphony (Miserere is). More importantly read more widely. The teenage Mozart story is now very much debated as a charming myth.
Eva Garcia Usually it is up to boys age 10-13 to sing it before their voices break (especially in Kings College, Cambridge) I never sang the Miserere Mei solo personally but have hit the Top C doing scales before my voice broke :) Christian or not (personally not) , this type of choral music is truly magical and goosebumpy
My husband was run over & killed crossing the road. He never made it to Hospital...he died lying on the road with wonderful strangers around, trying to console him as they waited for the Ambulance & the Police. I couldn't sleep, I was so stressed, grieving, disbelief, empty, helpless...this music kept my Sanity - I played it on my Computer in a Loop at night to try & switch my brain off... & wonderful Tallis Choir helped me too - thank you 💖
Some fun history about this piece: It was (allegedly) originally performed exclusively in the Sistine Chapel, specifically during two services in Holy Week each year. The score was a closely held church secret, and transcribing it was forbidden. That is, until a 14 year old Mozart visited Rome and attended the first service of the week. He heard the song once and wrote it down that evening from memory. Then he attended the second service later in the week to correct any errors. The Pope's response to this was something along the lines of "bro that's awesome," and summoned Mozart back to the Vatican to give him an award. The restrictions on performing the piece were later lifted, giving us this masterpiece today. As with many things in history though, there’s not much hard evidence to support the story. So I can’t really say whether or not it happened this way, or if it happened at all. Regardless, it’s a fun story that highlights the genius that Mozart was even at a young age.
HAHAHA, what a great snippet of history; thank you! I could totally picture the deacon in charge of "keeping the piece a secret" and then watching Mozart write it down perfectly from memory like "no biggie"! Cheers!
yes! mozart was bestowed the highest papal rank ever created, still, he was not proud of it, he even lost it. Before being awarded, the pope suspected that he had stolen the notes, so he incarecated him
This song, even at its surface level, is amazingly beautiful, but somehow gets more beautiful if you understand it’s about suffering and confession, and even more so when it’s typically performed during Holy Week.
I just finished watching season 1 of The Leftovers. In the penultimate episode they play part of this and a little later the melody from Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters". Both hint at the reconciliation and coming to terms embodied in the last episode.
I think It's important for Atheists like me to understand the immense beauty in Christian art. Just because I don't believe in God it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the cultural significance of this religion.
I´ve had similar thoughts, but the beauty of the music and architecture - is it invariably connected to Christianity, or mere a product of Western civilization at that particual period of time?
@Vebunkd Something worth noting is that most, if not all, doesn't get to choose whether to believe or not. If given the choice, many would likely choose a higher meaning, a purpose, afterlife and so on over "meaninglessness" and existential confusion...
It's neither the proclaiming of one's belief nor disbelief that designates the reality of God or what others call "God." But when you, the individual, have the ability to give a respectful and appreciative attentiveness to the enactments of harmony, THAT alone is what proves the living presence of that which many require faith to hope for. It is the engine within each of us and its ability to inspire us to perceive its harmonious elements.
I am Muslim, and hearing this in 2024. This is beyond amazing, i shed tears for the amazing voice like its some love floading in me. This is very Big inspirational from us😢❤
This masterpiece was written by Catholiques Europeans in Europe, 400 years ago. Not for muslims people. The fate your religion reserves to christians throughout the world means to me that your religion is evil sect. Your hadiths are full of anti-Christianity swearing to kill us all. Only the uneducated don't know that. So stop being obsessed by us, stop lurking non-stop on the Christian world, stop coming in OUR christian countries and the peace will come back in the whole world. JESUS IS KING ✝️
This is the first pirated song ever. Miserere was supposed to be played only in the Sistine Chapel during Easter, until a young Mozart went there when he was 14 years old, heard it, and transcribed it by memory back at home. (Please read Gino Madrid answer for more information)

I am a Muslim and I shed tears of joy every day when I discovered such a masterpiece. The musical culture that emanates from Catholicism is absolutely incredible! It's inspiring, like so many things in my own religion! I am Muslim and I can feel God through these voices. We are much closer than we think. We have the same God after all ... Friendly, a Muslim.
Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. _Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam._ Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. _Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper._ Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. _Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies._ Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.

“Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise. For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.” Psalms 51:1-19 NASB1995 bible.com/bible/100/psa.51.1-19.NASB1995
Composed around 1638 During the reign of Pope Urban VIII. If you have the patience to look it up, you will find the Latin text and also the English translation.
@@seaglass22 There is an important difference between looking up a translation and understanding a language. I studied Latin for almost a decade, so patience is not the missing ingredient. Also, the version composed in the 1630s bares remarkably little resemblance to this contemporary performance. I was just making an off-the-cuff compliment, which is easy to pick apart if you want to scrutinize it.
I am autistic and this song is one of the few things that can calm me down during a crisis. I don't know why, but it works. Thank you so much from France!
Welch eine Präzision! Es gibt nur sehr, sehr wenige gemischte Chöre, die den Klang so perfekt ausgewogen hinbekommen!!

@@friedrice9535 It was written for a boy soprano of course (no women in the Pope's choir). Bryn Terfel - the baritone - did a great version of it before his voice broke (but I don't think it's on TH-cam). But yes, her voice is very pure and boy-like, with none of the mature woman's vibrato. Quite amazing.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy. According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin. I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged. But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, Thou desirest truth in my innermost being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow. Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice. Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds. Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body. Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.< br/>Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise. For Thou desirest no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted. Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.
It was a secret for over a hundred years in the Vatican. Then Mozart heard it just once and wrote down the music from memory. It is about the misery you feel when confessing your sins.
If I'm not mistaken it is one of the Psalms in Latin, which may have been why he was able to remember it easier than others; I'm sure Mozart knew basic Latin.
Dear Rick, this is absolutely true. I like the idea of displacing the Singers from one another. The Sound is awesome as a result. And it is so beautiful to look at. Good Conductor !
have a look at Elam Rotem's video on that matter. Basically, the piece as sung in this video is by no means as Allegri has intended it: the presence of both men and women is not historical, the pitch, even the music! It's a huge fraud and it still amazes me that, at the state of things on a musicological level, there are still people scamming us in this brutal way.

Church on Sundays, Youthgroup once or twice a week. I've read the bible cover to cover many times in my life, meditating upon passages to truly understand them. I even began training to become a youth pastor before I stopped believing in the supernatural. To those of you hoping I find god I am flattered by your well wishes, I know it comes from a good place in your heart. To those of you who attacked me or are incapable of understanding why I contrasted my love for this piece with my Atheism, you lack basic critical thinking and you shame your god
@@JamesTheJocund not quite. I was raised Christian, was studying to become a youth pastor, then discovered I don't believe at all in the supernatural. This piece is musical genius, and one of the greatest works of mankind.
@@M0dernArcher "not Christian but God must exist" is a cope in and of itself. Read your God's word and discover his perfect design for you, which it so glorify Him and be with Him. No other religion that lays claim to be of the creator of the universe makes sense like Christianity does. And it makes sense because it's the truth
@@wlwww16 I'm tired of seeing it, I saw many people saying it, and apparently Christianity (I include Catholicism, Orthodoxism, Protestantism) isn't alone, they always say their religion is so obviously the right one (ugh, these people of religions that aren't my own are so blind, obviously I'm right), and then sometimes there is the teenager atheist who says religion killed millions of people when Stalin literally imposed atheism and criticizes the Bible for things that aren't even there or because of a misconception that he has of religion. These arguments lead to nowhere, come up with a better thing and try to see through the eyes of the person you're arguing with to see why they think the way they think instead of thinking they are ignorant or arrogant because they don't believe in what you believe.

@Lovely Douche What are muricans lol? People can have their opinion whether they are American or not. Also, some of the members of this London-based choir are Americans.
This HAS to be the best version of Miserere mei on TH-cam. The Absolute nostalgic atmosphere with kind of darkness, The abnormal quality of video, shots and angles. And not to forget the purity of the singers as all the notes are just PERFECT. Very well done!
The book in the Bible called Psalm is this; It is a book of music. More specifically Psalm 51. It was only sung during the Holy Week. You are literally listening to the Bible in music.
Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for "Have mercy on me, O God" is a setting of Psalm 51 by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel during the Tenebrae services of Holy Week, and its mystique was increased by unwritten performance traditions and ornamentation. It is written for two choirs, of five and four voices respectively, singing alternately and joining to sing the ending in 9-part polyphony.
Legend has it that Mozart witnessed the performance as a child and was able to replicate it and made it available for playing outside the Sistine Chapel. Kind of vinyl rip.
Full body goosebumps. Im not a religious man, i've always been open minded about religion and respect everyone's views, but i would happily go to church everyday to hear this! That aside, this music is simply stunning. So beautiful, so powerful, makes me feel completely at peace yet at the same time strong. Sensational

Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem. Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
When I was in College, our choir sang this. It was the first time i had ever heard it. I have always loved it. The College was run by Benedictine Monks who were actually Catholic.
Translation! : ) "Have mercy upon me, O God, because of your immense goodness. Because of the depth of your grace, erase my sins. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. See, I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is always before me. Against You only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your eyes: only that you may be justified in what you say, and that you can be our rightful judge. [ I was shaped in wickedness: and in sin my mother conceived me. Though you want truth in me; in secret, you make me understand your wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. I shall hear songs of joy and gladness; bones that were then broken, will rejoice. Turn your face away from my sins: and remove all my wrongdoings. Give me a clean heart, dear God: and renew a rightful spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence: and do not take your Holy Spirit from me. But give me the comfort of your help again: and reestablish me with your Spirit. Then I will teach your ways unto others: and sinners will be converted unto you. Deliver me from the blood that I've shed, O God: and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. You shall open my lips, Lord: and my mouth shall say your praise. Because you do not want any sacrifice; should I give it, you do not delight in burnt-offerings. ] The sacrifice that pleases you is a troubled spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you do not despise. Be favorable and gracious unto Sion: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem! Then will you be pleased with the rightful sacrifice, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon your altar." (That middle part isn't sung, it'd be too long ^^ )
I was born in Turkey. I am 59 years old now and have been disbeliever for many years. I imagine God as nature itself, in my world there are no prophets, no scriptures, instead I have conscience and mercy. These church choirs make me happy as I don't know why. I have no clue what they're saying and frankly I don't care, but I love it, I find peace. Pure human voice and church organ has a tremendous harmony. I respect those who have faith, as long as they approach me and like me as HUMAN. Stay healthy. From Turkey with love.
Great statement. I'm pure christian and don't even understand what they are singing. But i can feel this pure holyness and perfection. Muslims like you - as they all should be if they've read the Koran correctly - are great humans and people and friends to mine!!!!!
If you're ever interested, they're singing the 51st Psalm, in Latin. If you like, you can read it here. biblia.com/bible/esv/psalm/51 . In that Psalm David, caught in a growing web of lies, and having committed a great evil, is finally brought to his senses and confesses his wrongdoing to God. For more context, you can read the story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel, chapters 11 and 12. It's really very dramatic, culminating in the famous words -- "You are the man!"
Magnifique impression comme un retour à l'éternité avant notre naissance, nous offrant la force, la pureté, la spiritualité, la conviction de l'existence de quelque chose qui nous dépasse encore mais plus pour longtemps.
I started on instagram and ended up here ..what a beautiful turn of events I’m probably going to listen to this everyday just hear her high pitch voice 😭😭I feel so at peace
Translation from Latin to English: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy. According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin. I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged. But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, Thou desirest truth in my innermost being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow. Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice. Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds. Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body. Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise. For Thou desirest no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted. Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.
Thank you! That almost matches up with the King James Version. Whichever translation you used, thank you very much! Such a powerful prayer for us all is there in Psalm 51.
Such a powerful prayer. So much spiritual desire within its words. The closeness of Christianity to Judaism is very evident in this sacred piece: more so than any piece I have ever read or heard before. It was destined to leave the confines of the Sistine Chapel at some stage.
She is absolutely amazing. I have already scanned www.tenebrae-choir.com/ website to find out who she before stumbling on your comment - so glad you posted it. Cheers!
Can't lie, she is absolutely astonishing. Her solo parts should be the definition for "delivering emotions". Whole choir is not to be taken any credit away though. Such a great piece of art and what a performance.
Mozart a commencé à composer à l'âge de 4 ans. Qu'est-ce qu'il en avait à foutre de Händel ????? Arrêtez d'écrire des conneries et allez un peu à l'Opéra au lieu de vociférer :(
All this time I always found myself in search. I left Islam and converted to Christianity. This was the biggest step I ever took. It made me feel the light of Jesus fully.
@@Zaleet_1 God loved you so much that He came down and died for you on a cross! Then, He resurrected so that you would never die and spend eternity in joy with Him forever! Jesus loves you so much! Come home, true friend! ✝️
Watch this th-cam.com/video/cmgh5fd9MOU/w-d-xo.html from 29:11 for a few seconds, and just disregard the language. Though the tales don't do it too much justice, you get bits of this same song which is always sung then. It's on Good Friday when there's a service and Christ is lowered from the cross before being taken to his burial, in Lima, Peru. I'm there every year.
well done. It's important to get a broad musical experience without any prejudice, so we see the beauty in difference to what we already know. Imho I think there is no better to broaden one's cultural horizon than music from different times and places. Again, well done.
@Jude M yes, and the work of LOTR itself is very obviously Catholic to the core aswell. Not just the music, but the symbolism etc. aswell. and of course the use of demons, angels, fallen angels (the fallen angel "Melkor" in LOTR is literally copy-pasted from the fallen angel "Satan" in the Bible), the one Creator (God), darkness vs. light etc.. all of it has a very deep connection to Catholicism, which is confirmed by Tolkien himself: "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally Catholic work". The same goes for the Hobbit. An interesting fact: in The Hobbit, when the White Council attacks Dol Guldur, the scene where Galadriel is lying on the floor with Gandalf's unconscious body in her arms, was deliberately shot to mimic the statue of the Pieta (they talk about it in the DVD extras).
@@TheChillty Exactly! And also, though I could be wrong on this one, the whitening of Gandalf's robes and appearance upon his rebirth/return to Middle-Earth, somewhat emulating the imagery of Jesus' resurrection.
@@TheChillty Lord of The Rings is first and foremost a retelling of Norse and Germanic pagan mythology, but there are obvious catholic themes certainly. There's also the themes, expanded on in Silmarillion, about the "garden of Eden" with the elvish home across the sea. There's also the Atlantis myth of Numenor and many, many pagan germanic and norse myths. LOTR is many things to many people, which is why it's so popular. You can also see it as a retelling of Europe with the Shire actually geographically located as Britain and the large empires to the South being those of Rome. Then of course the dark enemy to the South-East, speaking a coarse and strange language, some would say reminiscent of arabic.
@@erich8430 not first and foremost "norse retelling". its an almost explicit catholic work, where all the myths together builds up the divine echo of "the Truth", of which is Christianity. (Tolkien's own words). Tolkien explained to Lewis that the story of Christ was the true myth at the very heart of his stories and at the very root of reality, and he said that all the pagan myths presented in LOTR was expressed in a way to reflect the spiritual truths of Christianity. You can read much more about it in his poem "Mythopoeia"

What makes me cry about these songs is that they’ve been around for hundreds of years and a will remain once we’re gone. Just a bit of human history that will hopefully always remain.
English translation from Latin: (y’all ready to cry?) Have mercy upon me, O God: after Thy great goodness. According to the multitude of Thy mercies, do away mine offences. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged. Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds. Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and stablish me with Thy free Spirit. Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew [show] Thy praise. For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise. O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.

Imagine being a hardworking medieval farmer, entering the church and listening to this chant. Impossible not to think the angels are welcoming you in heaven.

This is from the 17th century.
@@timolff9239 good remark! I had the impression this was a kind of Gregorian Chant, that’s why I mentioned the Middle Ages.
I don't think peasants were allowed to go into these churches back then lol
There's a reason music was the domain of the church; it was considered to be spiritual
Medieval Catholics definitely knew how to build a beautiful church.
It helps when you have a shitton of money you've tithed from your townsfolk.
@@rob062388 Most of the time that money came from donations. Not everything in history is vile and wicked.
@Christian Trevisan imagine naively thinking it wasn't. Money. Power. The catholic church had that in spades back then. And they sure weren't afraid to show it.
@Christian Trevisan I'm sure all the people the church killed in the name of God had a problem with it.
rob062388 The Catholic Church doesn’t do that anymore, other religions such as a lot of Muslim faiths still do to this day. I understand you might have a grudge against the Church for whatever reason but don’t act like it is about any moral reasons.
The Church is beautiful and without it as it currently is, millions would literally die of starvation as we are the biggest donors of food/aid than everyone else combined. Let go of your biases and understand the faith before you criticize it. There are many angles to history and it would do you a lot of good to get perspectives from both sides before commenting further.

I listen to this song every morning, praying my baby will be released from the NICU. He has tuberous sclerosis and he's only 6 days old today. I haven't been able to hold him since he was born. It's been absolutely torturous. I just want my son to be healed. Please pray for my son Levi Michael Gabriel 🙏
Update as of 1/15/2022:
We got to take Levi home in late November. He has daily seizures, but he's still a happy go lucky baby that hardly cries. He has been a huge blessing to our family and he's incredibly attached to me. Levi does need brain surgery to remove tubers in his occipital lobe. The tumors I'm his heart have shrunk since he was born on October 11th. Thank you everyone that has prayed for my adorable baby boy. 👶
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Although you may not have been able to hold your son, God is holding him.
Mark 10: 16And he (Jesus) took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
Jeremiah 1: 5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
People forget that a prophet wasn't just someone who reveals God's word to us, but also teaches God's people. Your son was given a task by God. Your son is teaching God's people to have faith in God.
I'll pray for you and your son, God bless you!

I'm not religious, but I would go to church every Sunday just to hear them sing..
you listen to them
and get this feeling....
is like getting touched by the Holy Ghost
Go to a traditional catholic church and attend to the solemn mass they sing Gregorian chants. 🙏
I am an Atheist, sang in choirs for many years, and was in a small a capella group singing motets similar to this, even sang in special church services sometimes to support the religious in our group, went to evensong in Winchester Cathedral to enjoy the singing and wonderful acoustics in our last trip to England, so even though the rituals don't impress me, the range of beautiful music is certainly the one bright light in religion. especially Christianity. The occasional mumbling minister was worth it for the lovely music we could sing.
that’s why the catholic church is so beautiful, the holy spirit flows through this music and changes you
@@aidanfletcher1236 "the holy spirit flows through this music and changes you". Nope, I love the music but I am still an Atheist, and am not impressed with the Catholic decor of idols. I have been in many Catholic cathedrals in Europe, impressive architecture. My daughter in law is Catholic, so seen it many times. Perhaps a bit more "holy spirit " in the form of sacramental wine would do the job. Music is universal. I listen to Chinese, Russian, all sorts, depending on my mood. Cheers.

It takes talent, and most of all a great deal of personal and spiritual dedication to practice to do what these vocal artists have accomplished in this piece. What's amazing is that works like this show all of us that we all have the capacity and ability to excel in our respective professions, and passions. This piece reminds us that, every day we are alive, we all have before us the opportunity to use our gifts for good, or for ill; it is our choice, and God willing, we will choose for the good.

Fact : Allegri’s ‘Miserere Mei, Deus’ was written in 1638 in the Vatican, as part of his work as a singer in the Sistine Chapel. It was regarded as so special that the Pope ordered that only 3 copies ever left the Vatican: one for the Padre Martini, one for the King of Portugal and one for the Holy Roman Emperor. Playing it on other places punishable by excommunication.
Then Mozart when visiting rome happened to hear this masterpiece, went home and transcribed the piece from memory for the entire 15 minutes.
At the time Mozart was 14.
W Mozart moment
I don’t believe you. I could ask ChatGPT to write a story like this. Ok let me show you
And you’re wrong lol While the story you've provided is intriguing, it appears to be a fictional creation. Allegri's "Miserere Mei, Deus" is indeed a renowned composition, but the details about its restricted distribution and Mozart's alleged transcription at the age of 14 are not historically accurate. It's always fascinating to imagine such scenarios, but it's essential to distinguish between historical facts and creative storytelling. You are servants of the devil for not seeking truth
Please be mindful of the effect your last sentence may have on the person you speak to and ask if they are in keeping with your faith.
@@PizzaLover-d6n
Yes, and 1638 is post-Renaissance, not medieval as the dopey You Tube generation thinks . That's because they don't know music and don't know the difference between chant (Miserere is not) and polyphony (Miserere is). More importantly read more widely. The teenage Mozart story is now very much debated as a charming myth.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
Who else came here to see if it was possible for it to be sung without helium and was blown away by that woman's voice?
Eva Garcia Usually it is up to boys age 10-13 to sing it before their voices break (especially in Kings College, Cambridge) I never sang the Miserere Mei solo personally but have hit the Top C doing scales before my voice broke :) Christian or not (personally not) , this type of choral music is truly magical and goosebumpy

Some fun history about this piece:
It was (allegedly) originally performed exclusively in the Sistine Chapel, specifically during two services in Holy Week each year. The score was a closely held church secret, and transcribing it was forbidden. That is, until a 14 year old Mozart visited Rome and attended the first service of the week. He heard the song once and wrote it down that evening from memory. Then he attended the second service later in the week to correct any errors.
The Pope's response to this was something along the lines of "bro that's awesome," and summoned Mozart back to the Vatican to give him an award.
The restrictions on performing the piece were later lifted, giving us this masterpiece today.
As with many things in history though, there’s not much hard evidence to support the story. So I can’t really say whether or not it happened this way, or if it happened at all. Regardless, it’s a fun story that highlights the genius that Mozart was even at a young age.
HAHAHA, what a great snippet of history; thank you! I could totally picture the deacon in charge of "keeping the piece a secret" and then watching Mozart write it down perfectly from memory like "no biggie"! Cheers!
I feel wildly unaccomplished for some reason now
The restriction on this hymn outside the sistine chapel is a myth
yes! mozart was bestowed the highest papal rank ever created, still, he was not proud of it, he even lost it. Before being awarded, the pope suspected that he had stolen the notes, so he incarecated him
This story never ceases to amaze me. This masterpiece could of been lost to the ages.
This song, even at its surface level, is amazingly beautiful, but somehow gets more beautiful if you understand it’s about suffering and confession, and even more so when it’s typically performed during Holy Week.
You surely got EVERYTHING right!
I just finished watching season 1 of The Leftovers. In the penultimate episode they play part of this and a little later the melody from Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters". Both hint at the reconciliation and coming to terms embodied in the last episode.
They sound like angels...
Yes they do. I'm sure that angels would sound god-like!
Agreed it's really beautiful...💞
And look like Zooey Deschanel.
Have you heard the angels singing?
@@slimefather5025 that's not the point, kid...
So mozart memorized this piece in one hearing only, mindblowing...
Well, he did have an ear for that sort of thing.. Still, you're not wrong.😁
Supposedly it was actually 2 hearings; but he had it 99% on the first listen, but needed the 2nd to fill on a couple notes he wasn't sure of.
Extraterrestrial stuff.
I wouldnt blame Mozart for being inspired by this piece. I would too
No. That's a myth.
I think It's important for Atheists like me to understand the immense beauty in Christian art. Just because I don't believe in God it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the cultural significance of this religion.
I´ve had similar thoughts, but the beauty of the music and architecture - is it invariably connected to Christianity, or mere a product of Western civilization at that particual period of time?
Thank you even though you said you weren't a believer God bless you
@Vebunkd Something worth noting is that most, if not all, doesn't get to choose whether to believe or not. If given the choice, many would likely choose a higher meaning, a purpose, afterlife and so on over "meaninglessness" and existential confusion...
It's neither the proclaiming of one's belief nor disbelief that designates the reality of God or what others call "God." But when you, the individual, have the ability to give a respectful and appreciative attentiveness to the enactments of harmony, THAT alone is what proves the living presence of that which many require faith to hope for. It is the engine within each of us and its ability to inspire us to perceive its harmonious elements.
@Fallen Angel no you guys dont. Islam is trash period. Convert or burn.
I am Muslim, and hearing this in 2024. This is beyond amazing, i shed tears for the amazing voice like its some love floading in me. This is very Big inspirational from us😢❤

May god bless you and shine his light upon you.❤
Its a glorious song, so glad you enjoy too!
This masterpiece was written by Catholiques Europeans in Europe, 400 years ago. Not for muslims people. The fate your religion reserves to christians throughout the world means to me that your religion is evil sect. Your hadiths are full of anti-Christianity swearing to kill us all.
Only the uneducated don't know that. So stop being obsessed by us, stop lurking non-stop on the Christian world, stop coming in OUR christian countries and the peace will come back in the whole world. JESUS IS KING ✝️
This is not for you. Stop lurking on us. Stop being obsessed by us and live your life in YOUR religion far away from us, thanks
This is the first pirated song ever. Miserere was supposed to be played only in the Sistine Chapel during Easter, until a young Mozart went there when he was 14 years old, heard it, and transcribed it by memory back at home. (Please read Gino Madrid answer for more information)
now.... THAT's genius
Who says classical musicians rnt interesting
There's no way that guy wasn't somewhere on the spectrum.
Actually he wasn’t sure if he got the whole thing the first time so he went and saw it a second time to make sure it was correct.

I am a Muslim and I shed tears of joy every day when I discovered such a masterpiece. The musical culture that emanates from Catholicism is absolutely incredible! It's inspiring, like so many things in my own religion! I am Muslim and I can feel God through these voices. We are much closer than we think. We have the same God after all ... Friendly, a Muslim.

Very contemplative and celestial song.
It’s the literal opposite of this. “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
“Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise. For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.”

If you have the patience to look it up, you will find the Latin text and also the English translation.
@@seaglass22 There is an important difference between looking up a translation and understanding a language. I studied Latin for almost a decade, so patience is not the missing ingredient. Also, the version composed in the 1630s bares remarkably little resemblance to this contemporary performance. I was just making an off-the-cuff compliment, which is easy to pick apart if you want to scrutinize it.

She was imitating the crystal clear voice of a boy as this was scored for a treble.

The soprano's voice is crystalline pure. Stunning.
Sounded like a boy's voice, the purest sound there is. More pure than the flute.
@@friedrice9535 It was written for a boy soprano of course (no women in the Pope's choir).

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin.
I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged.
But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in my innermost being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow.
Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds.
Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body.
Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.<
br/>Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted.
Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.

It was a secret for over a hundred years in the Vatican. Then Mozart heard it just once and wrote down the music from memory. It is about the misery you feel when confessing your sins.

It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel during the Tenebrae services of Holy Week, and its mystique was increased by unwritten performance traditions and ornamentation. It is written for two choirs, of five and four voices respectively, singing alternately and joining to sing the ending in 9-part polyphony.
Thank you for this information! Have a blessed Easter!
Thank you.. 👍
Thank you
Legend has it that Mozart witnessed the performance as a child and was able to replicate it and made it available for playing outside the Sistine Chapel. Kind of vinyl rip.
~B~ good info thanks
Full body goosebumps. Im not a religious man, i've always been open minded about religion and respect everyone's views, but i would happily go to church everyday to hear this! That aside, this music is simply stunning. So beautiful, so powerful, makes me feel completely at peace yet at the same time strong.
Sensational
Ahhhh oh my goodness, I agree! Just like imagine a whole host of angels in heaven or something! So beautiful that humans can sing this well! 😭😭😭
Live long and prosper!
Thank you so much

Hello 😎😎 usbekistan
Beautiful and God-extolting lyrics. 🥲
Thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤
When I was in College, our choir sang this. It was the first time i had ever heard it. I have always loved it. The College was run by Benedictine Monks who were actually Catholic.
Benedictine Monks who were ACTUALLY Catholic, unlike the Jesuits 😂
@@Lerian_V Yes, that place was a delightful oasis during the early 70s
@@Lerian_V Better, they were Catholic Crusaders too, hunting the heretics.
Translation! : )
"Have mercy upon me, O God, because of your immense goodness.
Because of the depth of your grace, erase my sins.
Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.
See, I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is always before me.
Against You only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your eyes: only that you may be justified in what you say, and that you can be our rightful judge.
[ I was shaped in wickedness: and in sin my mother conceived me.
Though you want truth in me; in secret, you make me understand your wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
I shall hear songs of joy and gladness; bones that were then broken, will rejoice.
Turn your face away from my sins: and remove all my wrongdoings.
Give me a clean heart, dear God: and renew a rightful spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence: and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
But give me the comfort of your help again: and reestablish me with your Spirit.
Then I will teach your ways unto others: and sinners will be converted unto you.
Deliver me from the blood that I've shed, O God: and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
You shall open my lips, Lord: and my mouth shall say your praise.
Because you do not want any sacrifice; should I give it, you do not delight in burnt-offerings. ]
The sacrifice that pleases you is a troubled spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you do not despise.
Be favorable and gracious unto Sion: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem!
Then will you be pleased with the rightful sacrifice, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon your altar."
(That middle part isn't sung, it'd be too long ^^ )
Is it in Latin? Are you actually able to hear and understand it audibly?
Max S thank you brother🙂
Psalm 51 :)
A melody of David, when Nathan the prophet came in to him after David had relations with Bath-sheʹba
@@alexthomson3018 one of my favorite chapters
Everybody talking about the high notes, but listen to that bass! Especially 4:23
I couldn't agree more. My ear was particularly focused on hearing it.
Most of us do not hear it due to the loudness of the higher notes, very well spotted, thank you.
Yupppp
Wow
I was born in Turkey. I am 59 years old now and have been disbeliever for many years. I imagine God as nature itself, in my world there are no prophets, no scriptures, instead I have conscience and mercy. These church choirs make me happy as I don't know why. I have no clue what they're saying and frankly I don't care, but I love it, I find peace. Pure human voice and church organ has a tremendous harmony. I respect those who have faith, as long as they approach me and like me as HUMAN. Stay healthy. From Turkey with love.
Simavi CAN You’re a wise man.
Great statement. I'm pure christian and don't even understand what they are singing. But i can feel this pure holyness and perfection.
Muslims like you - as they all should be if they've read the Koran correctly - are great humans and people and friends to mine!!!!!
If you're ever interested, they're singing the 51st Psalm, in Latin. If you like, you can read it here. biblia.com/bible/esv/psalm/51 . In that Psalm David, caught in a growing web of lies, and having committed a great evil, is finally brought to his senses and confesses his wrongdoing to God. For more context, you can read the story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel, chapters 11 and 12. It's really very dramatic, culminating in the famous words -- "You are the man!"
I agree with you Simavi, if you don't believe, go outside and look. Believe it or not, we created none of it. Godspeed.
merhaba Simavi Can
Magnifique impression comme un retour à l'éternité avant notre naissance, nous offrant la force, la pureté, la spiritualité, la conviction de l'existence de quelque chose qui nous dépasse encore mais plus pour longtemps.
I started on instagram and ended up here ..what a beautiful turn of events I’m probably going to listen to this everyday just hear her high pitch voice 😭😭I feel so at peace
@kain of sly me too 🤣🤣
Lol , same here . Yellow balloon guy 😂
Look at us

On God 💯
Translation from Latin to English:
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin.
I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged.
But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in my innermost being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow.
Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds.
Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body.
Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted.
Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.
Thank you! That almost matches up with the King James Version.
Whichever translation you used, thank you very much!
Such a powerful prayer for us all is there in Psalm 51.
@@dnzswithwombats I believe this is Douay Rheims version. 😊
@@HannahNaegele thanks! I checked that one and it didn't quite match. I'm guessing it is from an early Book of Common Prayer translation.
Such a powerful prayer. So much spiritual desire within its words. The closeness of Christianity to Judaism is very evident in this sacred piece: more so than any piece I have ever read or heard before. It was destined to leave the confines of the Sistine Chapel at some stage.
Thanks for sharing this 🙌 🙏
That amazing soprano soloist with the high 'C' is Josephine Stephenson who is also a composer.
Her compositions couldn't be more different from this music!
She is absolutely amazing. I have already scanned www.tenebrae-choir.com/ website to find out who she before stumbling on your comment - so glad you posted it. Cheers!
Can't lie, she is absolutely astonishing. Her solo parts should be the definition for "delivering emotions". Whole choir is not to be taken any credit away though. Such a great piece of art and what a performance.
@@theoldar what compositions?
Mozart a commencé à composer à l'âge de 4 ans. Qu'est-ce qu'il en avait à foutre de Händel ????? Arrêtez d'écrire des conneries et allez un peu à l'Opéra au lieu de vociférer :(
All this time I always found myself in search. I left Islam and converted to Christianity. This was the biggest step I ever took. It made me feel the light of Jesus fully.

The singing is obviously phenomenal, but I wanted to shout out to whomever directed the shots and scenery too. Really nice!
That shout out would go to ancient Catholics I know my history!
Amazing work
Too bad it's lip-synched.
I like that part where she goes: Ah-aaa-aaah-aaah-ahhhh
Who needs musical notation when @nhunka44 got us covered 😂
Strangely enough, I know what part you're referring to. :D
It was a revolution in its context and time.
It's called, "High C"
I think you're missing something, namely ooh-oohhh-oooh-ohhhhh part. But that's just me. You're probably just a slack jawed idiot like the rest
I feel like I’m either watching a enormously powerful religious figure be buried, or a monarch being crowned.
In Spanish series "Isabel" this song plays when king Enrique IV is dying.
Watch this th-cam.com/video/cmgh5fd9MOU/w-d-xo.html from 29:11 for a few seconds, and just disregard the language.
Though the tales don't do it too much justice, you get bits of this same song which is always sung then. It's on Good Friday when there's a service and Christ is lowered from the cross before being taken to his burial, in Lima, Peru.
I'm there every year.
Or a great king on his knees before God almighty.
I listen to this once a day as it is the most beautiful music and prayer I have ever heard. It makes me cry it is beautiful.
I played this to high schoolers today. I've never heard the class so silent (in a good way). It feels good to have shared a little beauty today.
well done. It's important to get a broad musical experience without any prejudice, so we see the beauty in difference to what we already know. Imho I think there is no better to broaden one's cultural horizon than music from different times and places.
Again, well done.
No wonder Tolkien wanted his works to have a strong overtone of Latin mass choir music (elvish music, silmarillion etc.). Absolutely stunning
@Jude M yes, and the work of LOTR itself is very obviously Catholic to the core aswell. Not just the music, but the symbolism etc. aswell. and of course the use of demons, angels, fallen angels (the fallen angel "Melkor" in LOTR is literally copy-pasted from the fallen angel "Satan" in the Bible), the one Creator (God), darkness vs. light etc.. all of it has a very deep connection to Catholicism, which is confirmed by Tolkien himself:
"The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally Catholic work".
The same goes for the Hobbit. An interesting fact: in The Hobbit, when the White Council attacks Dol Guldur, the scene where Galadriel is lying on the floor with Gandalf's unconscious body in her arms, was deliberately shot to mimic the statue of the Pieta (they talk about it in the DVD extras).
@@TheChillty Exactly! And also, though I could be wrong on this one, the whitening of Gandalf's robes and appearance upon his rebirth/return to Middle-Earth, somewhat emulating the imagery of Jesus' resurrection.
@@TheChillty Lord of The Rings is first and foremost a retelling of Norse and Germanic pagan mythology, but there are obvious catholic themes certainly. There's also the themes, expanded on in Silmarillion, about the "garden of Eden" with the elvish home across the sea. There's also the Atlantis myth of Numenor and many, many pagan germanic and norse myths.
LOTR is many things to many people, which is why it's so popular. You can also see it as a retelling of Europe with the Shire actually geographically located as Britain and the large empires to the South being those of Rome. Then of course the dark enemy to the South-East, speaking a coarse and strange language, some would say reminiscent of arabic.
@@erich8430 not first and foremost "norse retelling". its an almost explicit catholic work, where all the myths together builds up the divine echo of "the Truth", of which is Christianity. (Tolkien's own words). Tolkien explained to Lewis that the story of Christ was the true myth at the very heart of his stories and at the very root of reality, and he said that all the pagan myths presented in LOTR was expressed in a way to reflect the spiritual truths of Christianity. You can read much more about it in his poem "Mythopoeia"
READ THE BOOKS!! STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FILM!!! THERE IS NO SOUND NOR COLOR IN THE BOOKS ...ONLY JRRT AND YOUR IMAGINATION! STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF TRUE LITERATURE . READ THE MANY BOOKS JRRT TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE! NOT A FILM!

and what they probably looked like too... its sad to see she doesn't perform a lot of pieces :(
I honestly don´t know what is the most beautiful thing here

The song
The voices
Or the people singing
Everything.
Yes

Amem to that my friends
What they took from us
The ache I feel in my heart when I listen to this can be nothing other than a longing for the eternal, for the divine.
What makes me cry about these songs is that they’ve been around for hundreds of years and a will remain once we’re gone. Just a bit of human history that will hopefully always remain.

English translation from Latin: (y’all ready to cry?)
Have mercy upon me, O God: after Thy great goodness.
According to the multitude of Thy mercies, do away mine offences.
Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged.
Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds.
Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and stablish me with Thy free Spirit.
Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew [show] Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise.
O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.

Psalm 51
[Latin]
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem mean
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me
Quoniam iniquitatem mean ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper
Tibi soli peccavi et malum, coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum : et in peccatis concepit me mater mea
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti : incerta et occula sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor : lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis : et omnes iniquitates meas dele
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus : et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis
Ne projicias me a facie tua : et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui : et spiritu principali confirma me
Docebo iniquos vias tuas : et impii ad te convertentur
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae : et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam
Domine, labia mea aperies : et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique : holocaustis non dedectaberis
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus : cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion : ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos
[English]
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness
In your great tenderness wipe away my faults;
Wash me clean of my guilt, purify me from my sin
For I am well aware of my faults, I have my sin constantly in mind
Having sinned against none other than you, having done what you regard as wrong. You are just when you pass sentence on me, blameless when you give judgment
You know I was born guilty, a sinner from the moment of conception
Yet, since you love sincerity of heart, teach me the secrets of wisdom
Purify me with hyssop until I am clean; wash me until I am whiter than snow
Instill some joy and gladness into me, let the bones you have crushed rejoice again
Hide your face from my sins, wipe out all my guilt
God, create a clean heart in me, put into me a new and constant spirit
Do not banish me from your presence, do not deprive me of your holy spirit
Be my saviour again, renew my joy, keep my spirit steady and willing;
And I shall teach transgressors the way to you, and to you the sinners will return
Save me from death, God my saviour, and my tongue will acclaim your righteousness;
Lord, open my lips, and my mouoth will speak out your praise
Sacrifice gives you no pleasure, were I to offer holocaust, you would not have it
My sacrifice is this broken spirit, you will not scorn this crushed and broken heart
Show your favour graciously to Zion, rebuild the walls of Jerusalem
Then there will be proper sacrifice to please you - holocaust and whole oblation - and young bulls to be offered on your altar
Thanks
