Frollo is one of the most psychologically complex villains Disney has ever put on screen (I mean, he obviously wasn't their creation originally, but it was a bold choice to put him in a kid's film).
@@hashtagcritical8688 It wasn't a bold choice actually. By making him so atrociously and obviously evil he becomes less relatable and people cannot sympathize with him. This turns him into a character people are naturally against and so leads the audience. He was made like this so people wouldn't believe Disney promotes the whole being evil is cool thing. I personally prefer the Frolo from the musical or the book. A villain has to have a humane side and a conscience to be believable in order to make the point in the story where he shifts and succumbs to his desire more impactful.
@@michaelscarn3053 his voice actor says that he was written to be tragic and three-dimensional but as for him lacking a human side I wouldn’t call that such when he is based on Amon goeth’s depiction in schindlers list who is much tamer than the real person being depicted so yes people as atrocious as movie frollo do actually exist
I think the symbolism there is meant to be that since he's the Archdeacon, he has the power of the Church behind him and his insane deeds. Powerful indeed.
I actually got CHILLS when I realized it was time for Hellfire while watching the play. Normally when I watch the movie, I’m basically counting down until Hellfire happens because it’s the best part of the movie. But with the play, I was so invested from start to finish that I wasn’t thinking about how close we were to Hellfire until Heaven’s Light ended. Then I was just like “oh my god... it’s time.” And Patrick Page knocked it out of the park; he knocked the whole ROLE out of the park!
While I think the orchestration in the film is better (the trumpets and tympani are more prominent), I think the execution of this song on stage (for those of you who saw it with Patrick Page) was better. There was no fireplace or a hallucination of Esmeralda. It was simply Frollo on stage, dressed in his priestly vestments, red lighting, and a choir (which was absolutely top notch). The thing that made the execution better, in my opinion, was that Frollo induced a psychosis in himself. The song started out with him praying and (gradually) you could see that he felt tormented with his lust, which then evolved into pure rage. On the final note of the song, he spreads his arms out like he was on a cross, making it seem like he's a victim of his lust. It was genuinely creepy. I watched Patrick Page at Papermill and I remember getting goosebumps at how well he displayed the pscyhosis without the need of special effects.
He did that in the animated version, too. Only they clearly show Frollo was on something. Plus... arms outstretched? Really? The animated version not only did that, but it had also cast a shadow that increased in height. It's a representation of not only his victimization, but of how he thought himself as above others.
I saw this at La Jolla Playhouse and this scene completely floored the whole audience. I swear, there must've been about two whole minutes of nonstop, thunderous applause once it was done. You're absolutely right: Patrick's performance was so brilliant it didn't need anything except the red lighting. It seemed like we were watching a man having a genuine religious-induced psychiatric breakdown onstage and it was terrifying and exhilarating all at once.
I went to watch the musical at a theatre in Finland, where I live, and it was different. Please tell me if anyone else has experienced the same as me: Frollo walked into the cathedral, nuns walking by both of his sides. He kneeled and took off his shirt, facing the audience. Somewhere on the first chorus, he started whipping himself, as if punishing himself for what he had sinned. At some point, he kneels low onto the ground and you can clearly see the scars that he made for himself. The whole song was a masterpiece and I was taken away by it. I really want to see the cast again.
"Be mine or you will burn." Wow. I don't think I have ever known that's what he was saying... I just got mad chills just then. Wow. Wow. Wow. This is some deep stuff. No wonder I was afraid of this when I was a kid.
IMO the most powerful line is "he made the devil so much stronger than the man." To me that is the wow moment. So incredibly deep and insightful to be in a children's movie.
No one can do it like Tony Jay did, but this is still absolutely amazing. I feel like the tone kind of shifted in this version, in a good way - they opted to make Frollo more like the tragic, tortured figure he was in the book rather than the monster he was in the film.
What is interesting is Frollo's voice actor from the animated version wasn't really a singer and it is obvious by the way this song is set up (Mostly speaking with emphasis) but he managed to knock it so far out of the park that it is considered the best song in the entire movie and one of the best Disney ever made. So it is interesting to see a singer struggle with the song because it REALLY wasn't made for him, but do amazingly in the parts that actually required singing alone.
I've heard an analysis which says that the contrast between this song and Heaven's Light illustrates that Frollo's whole personality, and particularly his pride and extremely possessive attitude towards Esmaralda, could be seen as painting him as an enemy to God, whereas Quasimodo's humility and his desire for Esmaralda's freedom and happiness (even if it means she gets someone else) could be seen to paint him as almost angelic in contrast.
I sang Frollo in a NJ production two years ago. What a blast! One of the highlights of my performing life, even rating above most of my work as an opera singer. There is SO much great music in this show! Hard music, too. My wife sang in the chorus, and she said she couldn't listen to my singing in this song or she would lose her place. 😀
This is one of my favorite songs in the world. It describes the "wife of one's youth" spoken about in the Bible; "don't abandon the wife of your youth". In the spiritual sense, this is the preschool magic fairy we all dream of, before girls are socialized to aspire to be "princesses" and boys to be "mechanical". The magic fairy is the Divine Spark of the Holy Spirit, it's the magical being that is as tiny enough to live in a secret miniature garden and converse with the richness of life in a tiny spot the size of your hands, the oasis of your most innocent imaginative creative heart. By the time we arrive in kindergarten and venture onto the 7 year old age of conscience, she is either sublimated into the creative spirit of the child who dramatically acts out the impulses of the fairy; or the child is forced to "man up" or "mind her looks", and the Divine Spark is stuffed down into the dark depths of the soul, the unconscious. In the hearts of boys and girls, She is portrayed in the innocence of Aphrodite Nudata emerging from the foamy crests of water upon the shore; she is the aesthetic beauty of nature as the creation of God, Imago Dei, She is the pure Beauty of a flower. She is portrayed as Lenore from Poe's the Raven, he abandoned the magic fairy, the Holy Spirit, the Wife of his youth, and because he ignored her until he was too old to follow his true love of art and beauty and the Good, Beautiful, and True, he ignored her and is left in shameful regret. She is Charis (greek), Grace, She the Holy One of Israel (Bk. Revelations), she is the lady stuffed in the basket in the book of Isaiah. She's the drowned mermaid or the burn witch. She is known in Scriptures as "the Grace of God" (Gracia Dei); just like the Father in Heaven is Maiestas Dei; His Majesty is effulged by the Splendor of His Glory (greek Lamprotesis; Athlethes Logos). In Victor Hugo's novel, he depicts how the Catholic Church turns the mind against itself; how it injects Lucifer and hellfire by sexualizing innocence yet hypocritically standing in justice. Hellfire depicts the innocent little girl Charis sexualized before her time, forced by society to feel unjust shame and carry a burden she cannot possibly understand, because Charis, the Grace of God, does not understand her body nor the concept of sexual perversion. Hugo's Follo depicts in this song how he is set up to serve two masters: the self-righteous proud murderous depravity of Jesuit brainwashing, versus the Holy Spirit, the Grace of God who begets the Mercy of the Father, through His Majestic lovingkindness and eternal Glory. Note that Frollo depicts the brainwashed programming that "God watches you defile yourself through masturbation and you'll go blind" or "God forsakes you for being a 12 year old temptress who sexually entices priest", a mind control method of controlling sexuality to control money. The ending "God have Mercy on her" is the key phrase that links Esmerelda to Charis/Grace of God through the Holy Spirit, and the defiling of the holy through the Church's improper sexualization of the innocent. This is Victor Hugo depicting how Frollo's church educattion and training forced him to burn his inner Charis, the fairy of his innermost, the Holy Spirit, through the Jesuit brainwashing "it's not my fault if in God's plan he made the devil so much stronger than a man"; he is burning in anguish because he perceives Satan's dominion over the innocence of his own soul (his love/lust for Esmerelda) and his only option is to choke the flower or burn down the house. Quasimodo is an equal character; the Jesuit indoctrination imposed on Frollo turned his inner innocent child, Frollo as Puer Aeternus, into the half-formed abandoned "creature", that is, Frollo's atrophied and bitterly scornful authentic inner child, deaf to his own authenticity. Frollo/Quasimodo is Saturn, Kronos who eats his own child portrayed in the Goya painting... Frollo is the composite of Emerelda and Quasimodo, half-formed, improperly sexualized, deaf and demonically lobotomized, which ultimately leads him to self-emolate... he denies Christ!! That's WHY the song is dedicated to Beata Maria, the Mother of God beatified, made clean or Holy after lamentations. She's lamenting because Frollo is killed by Quasimodo as his admonished daemon soul; the abandonment of his beaten and broken Holy Guardian Angel, who the Jesuits mutilated (half-formed) and replaced with fear of "the devil" and Frollo's claim of Jesuit-Luciferic supremacy over Grace/Charis/Christ through the contemptuous scapegoatting of his weakness in the line "it's not my fault if in God's plan", attempting to hide behind pride. This is why Michael the Archangel is invoke; Esmerelda is "quoth the raven, nevermore" thus depicts an apocalyptic battle (see Joel 9). Victor Hugo writes about the inner struggle of the clergymen who were systematically brainwashed to kill off the curiosity/discernment of the natural budding Divine Spark within all human souls (symbolized by the Rose of the Holy Spirit posing upon the Cross of Christ). The inner fairy in us all, Esmerelda, the Good, Beautiful, and True. This song talks about how the Jesuits destroys his conscious, corrupts him with dark fire by being forced to relinquish the Holy Spirit in favor of the Jesuit hierarchy. The mergence of Christ and Holy Spirit (Rosy Cross) and aeternal innocence is mutilated by corrupting the innocense of the once-innocent-and-free-Frollo-child, with the Snare of Lucifer and Thorns of Hellfire (he ascended quickly thru the ranks). Esoterically, Victor Hugo depicts the spiritual drama of the internal hellfire when forced to serve two masters (Luciferic pride and lust, with Satanic murder). Frollo fantasizes about murdering the "wife of one's youth". In a social commentary sense, believe Victor Hugo is depicting the struggle between the Rosicrucian Order of the Christians who promoted authentic Christ experience, the Knights Templar, against the Jesuit Order of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the Crusades and the Inquisition. This song is like a really pretty romantic version of the Name of the Rose by Humberto Eco. IT IS SO DEEP. I could probably write an entire article on this one song alone lol. But who would read it, lol? I'm happy to share the insight with someone who actually PERSONIFIED the part. Sing the song but with the lyrics in this light; the song means something completely different, it's almost like the failed life of a snap-rage alcoholic.
In the background, the choir is chanting the "Mea Culpa". This is Latin for "my fault". It is a payer in the Catholic mass, during which the faithful that they are sinful, but by God's grace they are saved. In this song, Frollo refuses to except his shortcomings, and because of that, they consume him. In he makes himself his own god in this moment. They also sing "Kyrie Eleison". This means "Lord have mercy", it is sung several times throughout the show to underscore that all of the characters are seeking help from above. The tragic irony is that if Frollo recanted, he could have been a great man helping both Esmeralda and Quasimodo. Instead he decided to seize everything for himself, and lost everything in the process.
My best friend was in the choir! Me and her sister sat in the second to first row, so we could see her. Our favorite song was "Hellfire" from the Disney movie so we were nervous as to how Patrick Page would portray Frollo. He was doing well and when he sang "Hellfire", it blew us away! He sounded almost exactly like Tony Jay and it was like I was a kid again. We were amazed!
I'd love to see this show just as a whole, even though the incredible cinematography they achieved through animation would be hard to beat visually. But I am sure the staging and lighting for this scene in particular would still slap so hard on stage. For the final part, I can totally picture the choir closing in behind him in a semi-circle, the spirits of the saints and martyrs getting ever more threatening to his terrible morals and authority.
I love that the chorus part of this song (and that melody in general) was the literal first thing we hear at the very beginning. (Aside from the prologue/latin version of Someday) The entire theme of Notre Dame (both the cathedral and the story) IS the chorus of Hellfire! The entire score was building up to this moment. The music was forshadowing Frollo's descent into madness (and the tragedy that it brings) from the very begining, and it repeats all thoughout the movie/play! IT'S INSANE! The emotional weight of this leitmotiv is brilliant! THE CHOICE FROLLO MAKES IN THIS ONE SONG IS BUILT UP FROM THE START AND IT'S THE SINGLE THING THAT RUINS THE LIVES OF EVERYONE IN THIS STORY, including Frollo himself. Every 'Kirye Eleison' in the story was the Chorus (the saints/God) asking FROLLO to have marcy, and he refuses it more and more as the story goes on. And by the end, when it's him who asks for mercy... the Saints (or God, or Maria) give him one last chance to repent, admit his guilt, have mercy, be a man instead of a monster... but makes his choice, damning himself, and everyone else. This is so good, yall.
Well, the chorus is actually singing the prayer that you say right before Catholic communion. It’s the whole church confessing to their sins so they can be pure enough to consume Jesus. I just thought that that was interesting and you can probably connect that in your own way.
This movie is to me one of the most meaningful, complex, and most talented story wise of all Disney. The songs and story telling and setting. Just so dark and real
Hellfire Lyrics: [PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti Beatae Mariae Semper Virgini Beato Michaeli archangelo Sanctis apostolis Omnibus sanctis [FROLLO] Beata Maria You know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud [PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] Et tibi Pater [FROLLO] Beata Maria You know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd [PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] Quia peccavi nimis [FROLLO] Then tell me, Maria Why I see her dancing there? Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul? [PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] Cogitatione [FROLLO] I feel her, I see her The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control [PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] Verbo et opere [FROLLO] Like fire Hellfire This fire in my skin This burning Desire Is turning me to sin! [FROLLO, PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN] It's not my fault! Mea culpa I'm not to blame! Mea culpa It is the gypsy girl The witch who sent this flame! Mea maxima culpa It's not my fault! Mea culpa If in God's plan Mea culpa He made the devil so much stronger than a man Mea maxima culpa [FROLLO] Protect me, Maria Don't let this siren cast her spell Don't let her fire sear My flesh and bone! Destroy Esmeralda And let her taste the fires of hell Or else let her be mine And mine alone [FROLLO & PRIESTS, CHOIR] Hellfire Hellfire Dark fire Dark fire Now gypsy, it's your turn Choose me or Choose me or Your pyre Your pyre Be mine or you will burn! Kyrie Eleison God have mercy on her... Kyrie Eleison God have mercy on me... Kyrie Eleison But she will be mine Or she will burn!
This song scares me and gives me chills, but at the same time, the way the choir builds into "MEA MAXIMA CULPA" in the background is really really funny to me
Isn't this Patrick Page? I don't think he was the voice of Frollo in the Disney movie... I looked it up and it was a voice actor named Tony Jay... unless there was a speaking voice and a singing voice
I was in this show 2 years ago and I was in the choir. This was one of my top favorite songs to perform. With us singing in the background and the lights around frollo made it so much more powerful.
This is a promotional image meant to advertise the musical. If you put “songs by Alan Menken” instead nobody would know what that meant. He’s not exactly a household name especially when compared to Disney.
@@DrMadd Alan Menken is Disney. He's written the music for the vast majority of Disney films. Obviously people know him under Disney's name but that shouldn't lessen all the work he's done
By far the most badass and powerful bad guy song ever! I've performed it many times just because it really gets people into it... it's dark, it's powerful, it's Gothic and oh so mesmerizing...
"Be mine or you will burn..." Wait a minute. I think those words sound familiar... "Be *mine* or you will *burn* " "When you were *mine* ... I hope that you *burn* " *ELIZAAAAA* OH MY GOD FROLLO IS ONE OF THE BURN GROUP (with Rich, Regina, JD, etc)
Lyrics(With Translated Latin): Blessed Mary You know I'm a righteous man Of my virtue,I'm justly proud (And to you,Father) Blessed Mary You know I'm so much purer than The common,vulgar,weak,licentious crowd (That I have sinned) Then tell me,Mary Why I see her dancing there Why her s'moldering eyes still schorch my soul (In thought) I feel her,I see her The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control (In words and deeds) Like fire! Hellfire! This fire in my skin This burning Desire Is turning me to sin It's not my fault (Through my fault) I'm not to blame (Through my fault) It was the gypsy girl, The witch who send this flames (Through my grevious fault) It's not my fault (Through my fault) If in God's plan (Through my fault) He made the devil So much stronger than a man (Through my grevious fault) Protect me,Mary Don't let this sirens cast her spells Don't let her fire shear my flesh and bone Destroy Esmeralda and let her tastes the fires of hell or else let her be mine and be mine alone Hellfire! Dark fire! Now Gypsy,it's your turn Choose me or Your pyre Be mine or you will burn (Lord have mercy) God have mercy on her (Lord have mercy) God have mercy on me (Lord have mercy) But she will be mine or she will burn!
You should have added the starting chant. It's the "I confess" prayer of mass. I confess, God Almighty To Virgin Mary To Archangel Michael to all the angels and saints
*Frollo:* _Protect me, Maria_ _Don't let the siren cast her spell_ _Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone_ _Destroy Esmeralda_ _And let her taste the fires of Hell!_ _Or else let her be mine and mine alone_ _(Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)_ *Guard:* Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped. *Frollo:* What...? *Guard:* She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone. *Frollo:* But _how?_ I... Never mind. Get out, you idiot! I'll find her! I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris! _Hellfire_ _Dark fire_ _Now gypsy, it's your turn_ _Choose me or_ _Your pyre_ _Be mine or you will burn_
I actually have a counselor named Maria and she answered Frollo's "then tell me Maria, why I see her dancing there". She answered "Because you're an old pervert Claude"
A high school performed this show at the International Thespian Festival in July of 2017, which my high school troupe attended. We got the programs and, of course cause his songs are BEAUTIFUL, we immediately looked to see who was playing Frollo. We were quite disappointed because the guy who was playing him (sorry!) didn’t really “look the part” to us. After he finished this song, my friend and I, in unison, turned to each other and said “we were so wrong”. So sorry my dude for expecting less of you. You killed Hellfire!
FBoobieTubie Not only that it would have to be the darkest song to ever appear in a Disney movie I challenge you to name a Disney song that's darker than "Hellfire".
Definitely none....First time hearing it, I was struck by it's self-consuming darkness. I was wondering if any of the kids in the movie even understood what Frollo was talking/ singing about (sin , carnal desire, lust, and darkness ) . It was a uniquely original and true (to all humans)
HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING MUSICAL EVER! I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH SONGS WITH SO MUCH DEPTH AND POWER AND THE VOCALS!!! THE VOCALS PUT ALL FAMOUS SINGERS TO SHAME! IM SPEECHLESS! HOW LONG THEY HOLD THE NOTES AND THE HIGH NOTES!!! I. AM. IN. LOVE. This is truly an amazing piece of art! LIKE WOW. OH MY GOD. THIS IS GOLD. THIS IS BETTER THEN GOLD.
This version is so much different from the movie since he feels more broken like he is gonna tear up at any moment whilst in the movie he is more menancing and threatening
Technically it's not, this version got cancelled cause it had to many people in it and the producer refused to cut down, luckily they still managed to record the songs.
Yeah, felt a bit awkward, this became my favourite song just this weekend, I don't know why I never listened to it before, I bought the whole soundtrack on Sunday and then the cathedral spire and roof burned. I don't believe in fate but I understand why people used to believe when some coincidences are so true.
So we literally went from Heaven Light to Hellfire... Talk about 0-100 haha Patrick's Singing though is just as powerful as the rest of the cast bcoz this song is glorious (as damning as it is)
Dear Adam Ostrowski! Wow! Excellent video and rhythmic song. Amazing work!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I love the song!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I love it!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I like this!!!!! I noticed that there was a part in the song when Frollo his voice trailed off a little. 1:17-1:19 It was too much, the passion she felt for Esmeralda in both her the soul and her the heart. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (In Frollo was very strong, the flaming passion. It made Frollo even more dangerous.) It was a experience,!!!!!!!!!! Thank you much!!!!!!!!!! Regards! Red Rose

You mean Esmeralda. Maria is the Virgin Mary Frollo is praying to.
Oh okay I'll edit it

No problem. :)

I think the symbolism there is meant to be that since he's the Archdeacon, he has the power of the Church behind him and his insane deeds. Powerful indeed.
Is he the archdeacon in this one? He was in the book but for the Disney adaptation, they made him a judge.
For the stage musical, they made him an archdeacon again.

So is it not normal to say that when thinking of your crush?
If you watch the musical right after that line he freezes with a lool of horror on his face. He looked like he didn't relise what he was saying.
Grayson Giddins when I was little... I was terrified of Quasimodo. Part of me finds that hilarious, the other part of me feels awful
Hands down the best Disney villain song ever. Its dramatic and dark
the dude became sexually obsessed with a lady. that doesn't happen too often in Disney movies
Steven Scott Was that sarcastic?
One word: Gaston.

This is one of my favorite songs in the world. It describes the "wife of one's youth" spoken about in the Bible; "don't abandon the wife of your youth". In the spiritual sense, this is the preschool magic fairy we all dream of, before girls are socialized to aspire to be "princesses" and boys to be "mechanical". The magic fairy is the Divine Spark of the Holy Spirit, it's the magical being that is as tiny enough to live in a secret miniature garden and converse with the richness of life in a tiny spot the size of your hands, the oasis of your most innocent imaginative creative heart. By the time we arrive in kindergarten and venture onto the 7 year old age of conscience, she is either sublimated into the creative spirit of the child who dramatically acts out the impulses of the fairy; or the child is forced to "man up" or "mind her looks", and the Divine Spark is stuffed down into the dark depths of the soul, the unconscious. In the hearts of boys and girls, She is portrayed in the innocence of Aphrodite Nudata emerging from the foamy crests of water upon the shore; she is the aesthetic beauty of nature as the creation of God, Imago Dei, She is the pure Beauty of a flower. She is portrayed as Lenore from Poe's the Raven, he abandoned the magic fairy, the Holy Spirit, the Wife of his youth, and because he ignored her until he was too old to follow his true love of art and beauty and the Good, Beautiful, and True, he ignored her and is left in shameful regret. She is Charis (greek), Grace, She the Holy One of Israel (Bk. Revelations), she is the lady stuffed in the basket in the book of Isaiah. She's the drowned mermaid or the burn witch. She is known in Scriptures as "the Grace of God" (Gracia Dei); just like the Father in Heaven is Maiestas Dei; His Majesty is effulged by the Splendor of His Glory (greek Lamprotesis; Athlethes Logos). In Victor Hugo's novel, he depicts how the Catholic Church turns the mind against itself; how it injects Lucifer and hellfire by sexualizing innocence yet hypocritically standing in justice. Hellfire depicts the innocent little girl Charis sexualized before her time, forced by society to feel unjust shame and carry a burden she cannot possibly understand, because Charis, the Grace of God, does not understand her body nor the concept of sexual perversion. Hugo's Follo depicts in this song how he is set up to serve two masters: the self-righteous proud murderous depravity of Jesuit brainwashing, versus the Holy Spirit, the Grace of God who begets the Mercy of the Father, through His Majestic lovingkindness and eternal Glory. Note that Frollo depicts the brainwashed programming that "God watches you defile yourself through masturbation and you'll go blind" or "God forsakes you for being a 12 year old temptress who sexually entices priest", a mind control method of controlling sexuality to control money. The ending "God have Mercy on her" is the key phrase that links Esmerelda to Charis/Grace of God through the Holy Spirit, and the defiling of the holy through the Church's improper sexualization of the innocent. This is Victor Hugo depicting how Frollo's church educattion and training forced him to burn his inner Charis, the fairy of his innermost, the Holy Spirit, through the Jesuit brainwashing "it's not my fault if in God's plan he made the devil so much stronger than a man"; he is burning in anguish because he perceives Satan's dominion over the innocence of his own soul (his love/lust for Esmerelda) and his only option is to choke the flower or burn down the house. Quasimodo is an equal character; the Jesuit indoctrination imposed on Frollo turned his inner innocent child, Frollo as Puer Aeternus, into the half-formed abandoned "creature", that is, Frollo's atrophied and bitterly scornful authentic inner child, deaf to his own authenticity. Frollo/Quasimodo is Saturn, Kronos who eats his own child portrayed in the Goya painting... Frollo is the composite of Emerelda and Quasimodo, half-formed, improperly sexualized, deaf and demonically lobotomized, which ultimately leads him to self-emolate... he denies Christ!! That's WHY the song is dedicated to Beata Maria, the Mother of God beatified, made clean or Holy after lamentations. She's lamenting because Frollo is killed by Quasimodo as his admonished daemon soul; the abandonment of his beaten and broken Holy Guardian Angel, who the Jesuits mutilated (half-formed) and replaced with fear of "the devil" and Frollo's claim of Jesuit-Luciferic supremacy over Grace/Charis/Christ through the contemptuous scapegoatting of his weakness in the line "it's not my fault if in God's plan", attempting to hide behind pride. This is why Michael the Archangel is invoke; Esmerelda is "quoth the raven, nevermore" thus depicts an apocalyptic battle (see Joel 9).
Victor Hugo writes about the inner struggle of the clergymen who were systematically brainwashed to kill off the curiosity/discernment of the natural budding Divine Spark within all human souls (symbolized by the Rose of the Holy Spirit posing upon the Cross of Christ). The inner fairy in us all, Esmerelda, the Good, Beautiful, and True. This song talks about how the Jesuits destroys his conscious, corrupts him with dark fire by being forced to relinquish the Holy Spirit in favor of the Jesuit hierarchy. The mergence of Christ and Holy Spirit (Rosy Cross) and aeternal innocence is mutilated by corrupting the innocense of the once-innocent-and-free-Frollo-child, with the Snare of Lucifer and Thorns of Hellfire (he ascended quickly thru the ranks).
Esoterically, Victor Hugo depicts the spiritual drama of the internal hellfire when forced to serve two masters (Luciferic pride and lust, with Satanic murder). Frollo fantasizes about murdering the "wife of one's youth". In a social commentary sense, believe Victor Hugo is depicting the struggle between the Rosicrucian Order of the Christians who promoted authentic Christ experience, the Knights Templar, against the Jesuit Order of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the Crusades and the Inquisition. This song is like a really pretty romantic version of the Name of the Rose by Humberto Eco.
IT IS SO DEEP. I could probably write an entire article on this one song alone lol. But who would read it, lol? I'm happy to share the insight with someone who actually PERSONIFIED the part. Sing the song but with the lyrics in this light; the song means something completely different, it's almost like the failed life of a snap-rage alcoholic.
In the background, the choir is chanting the "Mea Culpa". This is Latin for "my fault". It is a payer in the Catholic mass, during which the faithful that they are sinful, but by God's grace they are saved. In this song, Frollo refuses to except his shortcomings, and because of that, they consume him. In he makes himself his own god in this moment.
They also sing "Kyrie Eleison". This means "Lord have mercy", it is sung several times throughout the show to underscore that all of the characters are seeking help from above.
The tragic irony is that if Frollo recanted, he could have been a great man helping both Esmeralda and Quasimodo. Instead he decided to seize everything for himself, and lost everything in the process.
My best friend was in the choir! Me and her sister sat in the second to first row, so we could see her. Our favorite song was "Hellfire" from the Disney movie so we were nervous as to how Patrick Page would portray Frollo. He was doing well and when he sang "Hellfire", it blew us away! He sounded almost exactly like Tony Jay and it was like I was a kid again. We were amazed!
Patrick Page will be voicing Satan for Helluva Boss
And he killed it
I'd love to see this show just as a whole, even though the incredible cinematography they achieved through animation would be hard to beat visually. But I am sure the staging and lighting for this scene in particular would still slap so hard on stage. For the final part, I can totally picture the choir closing in behind him in a semi-circle, the spirits of the saints and martyrs getting ever more threatening to his terrible morals and authority.
He has a great voice!
Also Hades in Hadestown!
Uh...no he didn’t...unless you’re talking Broadway.
Pretty sure Jerry Orbach was Lumiere (The candle) on film and originally on broadway
Jeremy Irons was the voice of Scar in The Lion King
has nothing on tony jays voice...
then again, no one could ever hope to match tony jays deep, commanding voice.
I love how we get to literally hear the MOMENT the happiness drops and perception switches from Quasimodo's feelings to Frollo's.
Who's here after finding out Patrick is playing Satan in Helluva boss?
Me
Not me I just love the movie and also makes me feel worthless and useless thinking I can ever be a good singer and voice actor like Patrick
You called it.😅
But seriously talk about a more perfect VA for a character like Satan. Just on this song.
I love how intense the choir gets in this version at the end of it!
I love that the chorus part of this song (and that melody in general) was the literal first thing we hear at the very beginning. (Aside from the prologue/latin version of Someday) The entire theme of Notre Dame (both the cathedral and the story) IS the chorus of Hellfire! The entire score was building up to this moment.
The music was forshadowing Frollo's descent into madness (and the tragedy that it brings) from the very begining, and it repeats all thoughout the movie/play! IT'S INSANE! The emotional weight of this leitmotiv is brilliant!
THE CHOICE FROLLO MAKES IN THIS ONE SONG IS BUILT UP FROM THE START AND IT'S THE SINGLE THING THAT RUINS THE LIVES OF EVERYONE IN THIS STORY, including Frollo himself.
Every 'Kirye Eleison' in the story was the Chorus (the saints/God) asking FROLLO to have marcy, and he refuses it more and more as the story goes on.
And by the end, when it's him who asks for mercy... the Saints (or God, or Maria) give him one last chance to repent, admit his guilt, have mercy, be a man instead of a monster... but makes his choice, damning himself, and everyone else.
This is so good, yall.
Well, the chorus is actually singing the prayer that you say right before Catholic communion. It’s the whole church confessing to their sins so they can be pure enough to consume Jesus. I just thought that that was interesting and you can probably connect that in your own way.
Hades missing his wife in spring
Whelp time to hunt this down on iTunes. I swear my iPad is filled with musicals.
SAME MAN!
Ashleigh S You're not alone!
Ashleigh S Phone, not iPad, but same here
I like how he says it's not his fault and have mercy on him while cursing Esmeralda
This man is actually gonna be Satan in helluva boss
This movie is to me one of the most meaningful, complex, and most talented story wise of all Disney. The songs and story telling and setting. Just so dark and real
My community theater just did this show and I got goosebumps every time we sang hellfire. The person we chose for Frollo nailed this song.
The power this song holds is incredible
The orchestration in this album is so incredible. Cannot get over how well arranged it is.
Well it is Alan Menken so yeah
Michael Starobin is a beast
Hellfire Lyrics:
[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Confiteor Deo
Omnipotenti
Beatae Mariae
Semper Virgini
Beato Michaeli archangelo
Sanctis apostolis
Omnibus sanctis
[FROLLO]
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Et tibi Pater
[FROLLO]
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Quia peccavi nimis
[FROLLO]
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there?
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul?
[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Cogitatione
[FROLLO]
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Verbo et opere
[FROLLO]
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin!
[FROLLO, PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
It's not my fault! Mea culpa
I'm not to blame! Mea culpa
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame! Mea maxima culpa
It's not my fault! Mea culpa
If in God's plan Mea culpa
He made the devil so much stronger than a man Mea maxima culpa
[FROLLO]
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear
My flesh and bone!
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine
And mine alone
[FROLLO & PRIESTS, CHOIR]
Hellfire Hellfire
Dark fire Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or Choose me or
Your pyre Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn!
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on her...
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on me...
Kyrie Eleison
But she will be mine
Or she will burn!
I got chills throughout this entire song! SO WELL DONE!
This song scares me and gives me chills, but at the same time, the way the choir builds into "MEA MAXIMA CULPA" in the background is really really funny to me
He actually sounds like Frollo from the Disney movie!
Lemf15 it is him
Isn't this Patrick Page? I don't think he was the voice of Frollo in the Disney movie... I looked it up and it was a voice actor named Tony Jay... unless there was a speaking voice and a singing voice
Yes, this is Patrick Page. Tony Jay (RIP) was Frollo's speaking AND singing voice in the movie.
he doesn't really. only for certain parts.
Tyheem Bonner No it's not.
Saw the musical on the 22. Absolutely amazing! I would do anything to go back and see it again
Hi, is it still possible to see this musical?
Onlydying Sadly, i dont think so
Ah, well that's a real shame, thank you
If you come to Berlin, you can see it in German ;)
Nazdreg1 Ich lerne sie Deutsch! Mein Deutsch ist schlecht.
My vocabulary is currently very limited.
It’s crazy to think that as I’m typing this, Notre Dame is being put out from a devastating fire. History is gone forever.
NOPE! Most of the structure survived along with the main rose window, the Organ, most of the art inside, and the Eternal cross!
It can be salvaged!
Either I have a fever or the “Kyrie Eleison God Have Mercy” part giving me massive chills
No mate, it chills me too!!
I was in this show 2 years ago and I was in the choir. This was one of my top favorite songs to perform. With us singing in the background and the lights around frollo made it so much more powerful.
they actually wrote "and songs from the disney film". It's like writing "from the famous novel". Good job giving credit to brilliant Alan Menken.
He was on the musical too lol
This is a promotional image meant to advertise the musical. If you put “songs by Alan Menken” instead nobody would know what that meant. He’s not exactly a household name especially when compared to Disney.
@@DrMadd Alan Menken is Disney. He's written the music for the vast majority of Disney films. Obviously people know him under Disney's name but that shouldn't lessen all the work he's done
mila.smiles I don’t mean to undermine the hard work he’s done for Disney. I’m just explaining why the image is worded a certain way.
@@DrMadd No I know, didn't mean to come across aggressive, my bad
By far the most badass and powerful bad guy song ever! I've performed it many times just because it really gets people into it... it's dark, it's powerful, it's Gothic and oh so mesmerizing...
this song keeps playing in my head all day
i have a whole idea for how i would act this out too...
Beautiful song. Especially after reading the book.
This guy is one of the best performers I've heard.
"Be mine or you will burn..."
Wait a minute. I think those words sound familiar...
"Be *mine* or you will *burn* "
"When you were *mine* ... I hope that you *burn* "
*ELIZAAAAA*
OH MY GOD FROLLO IS ONE OF THE BURN GROUP (with Rich, Regina, JD, etc)
hands down, the fucking most incredible disney song.
Lyrics(With Translated Latin):
Blessed Mary
You know I'm a righteous man
Of my virtue,I'm justly proud
(And to you,Father)
Blessed Mary
You know I'm so much purer than
The common,vulgar,weak,licentious crowd
(That I have sinned)
Then tell me,Mary
Why I see her dancing there
Why her s'moldering eyes still schorch my soul
(In thought)
I feel her,I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
(In words and deeds)
Like fire!
Hellfire!
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault
(Through my fault)
I'm not to blame
(Through my fault)
It was the gypsy girl,
The witch who send this flames
(Through my grevious fault)
It's not my fault
(Through my fault)
If in God's plan
(Through my fault)
He made the devil
So much stronger than a man
(Through my grevious fault)
Protect me,Mary
Don't let this sirens cast her spells
Don't let her fire shear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda and let her tastes the fires of hell or else let her be mine and be mine alone
Hellfire!
Dark fire!
Now Gypsy,it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
(Lord have mercy)
God have mercy on her
(Lord have mercy)
God have mercy on me
(Lord have mercy)
But she will be mine or she will burn!
You should have added the starting chant. It's the "I confess" prayer of mass.
I confess, God Almighty
To Virgin Mary
To Archangel Michael
to all the angels and saints
*Frollo:*
_Protect me, Maria_
_Don't let the siren cast her spell_
_Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone_
_Destroy Esmeralda_
_And let her taste the fires of Hell!_
_Or else let her be mine and mine alone_
_(Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)_
*Guard:* Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped.
*Frollo:* What...?
*Guard:* She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone.
*Frollo:* But _how?_ I... Never mind. Get out, you idiot! I'll find her! I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris!
_Hellfire_
_Dark fire_
_Now gypsy, it's your turn_
_Choose me or_
_Your pyre_
_Be mine or you will burn_
I actually have a counselor named Maria and she answered Frollo's "then tell me Maria, why I see her dancing there". She answered "Because you're an old pervert Claude"
Maria is actually Virgin Mary,Mother of Jesus
Notre Dame is a Catholic cathedral
Frollo is Catholic
I don’t know if this is intentional or not but I love that it is 13th on the soundtrack. In the Bible 13 represents sin and lawlessness
I saw my high school just preform this play. So amazing. Their use of projection mapping in this song was just awesome.
+Eonic Hope really? The entire musical?
One of three high schools allowed to do this, yup. www.jesuitportland.org/page.cfm?p=454
I can send you pictured of the set I helped build for it.
who were the other 2? my high school is doing this next year
taylor lockhart I haven't a clue who the other two high schools are, sorry. Good luck with the play, it is a very good one. I hope you enjoy it a ton!
Eonic Hope was it tauchan high school, I've been searching for hours to find the recorded version
I'm in this show right now, and every time Frollo says "God have mercy on me," all I can think is "NO"
A high school performed this show at the International Thespian Festival in July of 2017, which my high school troupe attended. We got the programs and, of course cause his songs are BEAUTIFUL, we immediately looked to see who was playing Frollo. We were quite disappointed because the guy who was playing him (sorry!) didn’t really “look the part” to us. After he finished this song, my friend and I, in unison, turned to each other and said “we were so wrong”. So sorry my dude for expecting less of you. You killed Hellfire!
one of the more powerful songs in the movie!! Luv it!
FBoobieTubie Not only that it would have to be the darkest song to ever appear in a Disney movie I challenge you to name a Disney song that's darker than "Hellfire".
Definitely none....First time hearing it, I was struck by it's self-consuming darkness. I was wondering if any of the kids in the movie even understood what Frollo was talking/ singing about (sin , carnal desire, lust, and darkness ) . It was a uniquely original and true (to all humans)
Douglas Roth Be Prepared??? Savages??? Friends on the Other Side???
Joshua Lowe It is true that they are Disney villain's songs but none can beat Hellfire's dark theme. Though I would say Savages is close.
Hello Satan, see you in the new episodes of Helluva boss.
I wished this would be uploaded to Disney Plus like Hamilton, for people without the opportunity to watch it 🙁.
Patrick Page should play Frollo in the live-action Hunchback remake
LOVE this song, especially the intro
HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING MUSICAL EVER! I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH SONGS WITH SO MUCH DEPTH AND POWER AND THE VOCALS!!! THE VOCALS PUT ALL FAMOUS SINGERS TO SHAME! IM SPEECHLESS! HOW LONG THEY HOLD THE NOTES AND THE HIGH NOTES!!!
I. AM. IN. LOVE. This is truly an amazing piece of art! LIKE WOW. OH MY GOD. THIS IS GOLD. THIS IS BETTER THEN GOLD.
This version is so much different from the movie since he feels more broken like he is gonna tear up at any moment whilst in the movie he is more menancing and threatening
THIS IS A THING?!?!?!?! yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Technically it's not, this version got cancelled cause it had to many people in it and the producer refused to cut down, luckily they still managed to record the songs.
Well it exists, just not on Broadway, but they played it at the La Jolla Playhouse
It does exist. I'm auditioning for a local version in Rhode Island.
I saw a production of it by the Idaho Shakespeare Company. It exists (fortunately).
There is also another French musical based on Hunchback
Frollo did a nice job but that Choir was just fantastic beyond a level describable by a youtube comment.
For some reason I would LOVE to hear Norm Lewis singing this, I could hear it in his voice.
Patrick Page is great!
Though in my opinion he doesn't hold a candle to Tony Jay
I can’t stop listening to this musical after I heard Notre Dame had burned down :(
Saw this yesterday! The performance of this song was great.
How?
I thought hunchback was retired years ago...
Dallas Cimini it was a local production. Same musical, just local.
Ah...
My bad
Jeremy Irons would be the perfect choice of Frollo in a live ction movie
YES!!!!
but he was scar already
nalan cnc didn’t stop Jim Cummings from doing other roles in Disney movies
Or Alan Rickman
lol it would be just as in France : Scar and Frollo by the same guy
Bro i just found this in the "children's music mix" 💀💀💀
Couldn't have possibly picked a better Frollo. God damn, he's so good
No one's talking about how this Frollo also played Lumiére on Broadway
Listening to this watching the news from Paris today April 15, as notre dame is falling
Yeah, felt a bit awkward, this became my favourite song just this weekend, I don't know why I never listened to it before, I bought the whole soundtrack on Sunday and then the cathedral spire and roof burned. I don't believe in fate but I understand why people used to believe when some coincidences are so true.
this song has been with me through it all
Man this song still gives me chills. Powerful and disturbing
*Chills.*
Every. Time.
If hunchback was a live action version would you like Patrick page to reprise his role
i saw this at hale center theatre on saturday and this song gave me CHILLS the way they did it was incredible oh my goodness
His voice just gives me chills ❤️❤️❤️
He is also Hades in Hadestown
Patrick Page is a KING
Patrick Page is a KING.
This is Disney’s greatest villain song ever!
It's the greatest villain song to ever exist
It's not Tony Jay, but goddamn, this guy's voice is fantastic.
Listening during a thunder storm. Fawk yeah!!
Frollo is my dream role!!!!!
This is the most evil song in an animated film but unfortunately it's the most epic!
I AM NOW EVEN MORE OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG GOD BLESS. (PUN INTENDED KINDA)
This version gives me legit chills when I listen to it
I was hoping they would extend the song for the live performance. It still feels like a 7 minute track compressed to a radio friendly length.
This is what NoFap does to you.
Truly. It has ruined lives, and burned cities...
Perhaps he participated in NNN and forget it only lasts a month
2:41 chills up and down my spine.
21:05.
So The Jungle Book gets a live-action remake, but not this.
It was ... but in real life...
It's coming.
This villain song is absolutely glorious!
So we literally went from Heaven Light to Hellfire... Talk about 0-100 haha
Patrick's Singing though is just as powerful as the rest of the cast bcoz this song is glorious (as damning as it is)
I like this version a lot but no one can match Tony Jay. He is a legend
Absolutely a master interpretation.
I was heavily disturbed by this song as a child...nothing has changed😂
Only now you get what he means by "burning desire" and "be mine".
Patrick Page!!! Incredibly talented man
Dear Adam Ostrowski! Wow! Excellent video and rhythmic song.
Amazing work!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I love the song!!!!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I love it!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I like this!!!!!
I noticed that there was a part in the song when Frollo his voice trailed off a little.
1:17-1:19
It was too much, the passion she felt for Esmeralda in both her the soul and her the heart.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
(In Frollo was very strong, the flaming passion. It made Frollo even more dangerous.)
It was a experience,!!!!!!!!!! Thank you much!!!!!!!!!!
Regards! Red Rose
Judge Turpin? Is that you? No? Oh, okay.
He sees Johanna, he feels Johanna
