Memorial for Large Ensemble
Sarah Leonard, soprano
Michael Nyman Band
Michael Nyman, conductor
Gypsum: Antonio Canova, Hecuba and the Trojan women offer the peplum to Pallas Athena (detail), 1790-1792, Milan, Gallerie di Piazza Scala.
Memorial is an epic funeral march-like piece, composed by Michael Nyman around 1984-1985. [...]
Nyman explicitly dedicated Memorial to the memory of the Juventus F.C. fans killed in the Heysel Stadium tragedy, in May 1985. [...]
The composition borrowed a musical phrase from Baroque composer Henry Purcell's King Arthur, the prelude to ‘What Power Art Thou’, sung by the Cold Genius in Act III*, but the phrase is repeated in countless times, in a minimalist fashion. The composition is dominated for the first two-thirds by the string and horn sections, backed up by bass guitar, and a drummer. Soprano Sarah Leonard comes in only in the last third of section, and her performance mainly consists of long wordless complaints, adding a dramatic effect to the composition. Her song is continuously an octave higher than the rest of the orchestra, thus creating a haunting effect that suggests pain and sorrow.

devastatingly beautiful. the sound of irretrievable loss and catastrophe
Разрушительно... Отлично сказано! 👏👏👏
This music is beautiful!
My impression:
Fear, great suffering, waiting for deliverance...
And everyone imagines that for themselves...
It's a dramatic scene, but it's beautiful! 👌
If you have just lost a loved one and are listening to this music, you realize what a masterpiece this piece of music is.
I just lost a close friend of 15+ years to COVID yesterday. He was 33. I'm so heartbroken. This piece breaks me. I miss you so much, Matt.
Claus, I was just wondering if it was too pretentious to have this played at my funeral!
I lost my cousin, Szilvi in 2019 and this music was the only thing that time that described my pain. I was shutting down my feelings. I had no connection. This music was my connection to reality.
It’s something very strong!!!!!!!! It’s like death and life
The STRINGS!...Incredible out of this world. Combination Orchestra! you got it.
Strive for a life that warrants this played at your requiem mass.
Meine Güte...ist das SCHÖN!! Vielen Dank...Habe gestern das Ballett gesehen und die Dortmunder Philharmoniker ❤!
I feel grief and rage in full combination when I hear this.
Nyman estudio musicología y es un especialista en la música barroca inglesa, de la cual hizo su tesis, donde intenta encontrar conexiones este periodo y la música popular del sXX ( como el rock), en el Contrato del Dibujante y en este Memorial hace versiones de Purcell a partir de las partes del bajo, sobretodo.Nyman mismo dice que el no es bueno a la hora de crear melodías, pero si que lo es adaptando, como siempre señala en todos sus discos." Nymaniza" las piezas de otros compositores y el resultado creativo es excelente.
C'est très beau.Je l'écoute parfois mais c'est toujours un ravissement.
Merci à ce Compositeur Exceptionnel, Monsieur Nyman
Je l'ai découvert aussi à travers de l'oeuvre de Peter Greenaway.
Merci beaucoup
I just lost a close friend of 15+ years to COVID yesterday. He was 33. I'm so heartbroken. This piece breaks me. I miss you so much, Matt.
My condolences for your loss.
Brilliant and so mesmerizing. It could just go on for ever.
Everyone talking about the strings, which are fantastic.. But seriously, that brass...
It’s the brass and the vocals!
Espectacular ,que gran músico ,de gran imaginación y que audaz
Wow! je crois qu'après le Requiem de Mozart, c'est Michael Nyman qui m'a le plus ébranlée, c'est extraordinaire, je suis sans mot
unbelievable, beautiful
It's breathtaking!
Me transporta esta pieza! se me erizan los pelos. Me encanta tu música Michael Nyman: es fuerte, sensible, sublime, es poesía y belleza!!!
Завараживающая музыка... Оболдеть... Не могу подобрать даже слов
Во-первых, по-русски надо писать завораживающая (и обалдеть). Во-вторых, в данном случае -- от слова воровать. см. Purcell Cold Song
@@olegandreev13 Найман и не скрывал, что позаимствовал мотив у Генри Персела. Прежде чем обвинять кого-то в воровстве стоит разобраться в вопросе.
@@antonmaximkin сегодня, когда берёшь у композитора, это, собственно говоря, берёшь у народа th-cam.com/video/QmEqz4iCMSA/w-d-xo.html
@@antonmaximkin но да, не удержался и скаламбурил
Uauuuu! Maravilhoso! Que soprano incrível!🙏❤️💐👏👏👏🇧🇷🖖
Masterpiece...
J'aime, c'est magnifique, merci.
Sublime ! Émouvant !
Самое Великое, что есть!
Amazing artwork, Great music.
This is my favorite piece of music. I play when I draw, want to release my pain or funny enough when I cook. Lol
I'm imagining you throwing eggs into a large vat of batter.
Perfect music for cooking your loved one and feeding it to the murderer as an act of revenge.
Б Ожечки! Спасбо!
Sublime...
One thing I think a lot of the commenters below are missing is the utter horror that forced Nyman to compose this piece. In May 1995 the Heysel disaster happened. Nyman is a massive football fan, this piece is his reaction to the atrocity that happened that day.
1985
I am sure he cared (not).
È molto coinvolgente e ti permette di contattare il tuo profondo inconscio da subito. La sensazione è bella e sembra accompagnarti in un viaggio onirico trattenendo in te qualcosa di grandioso.
La oyes y nunca mas la olvidas.
Muy cierto!!
Firstly, indeed time laps is the piece plays at the Met museum fashion show. Secondly mentioning credits the base for this piece is from Purcell Cold Song from King Arthur semi opera.
great song and great sample for FREUNDESKREIS tabula rasa
Nothing more to say but. Dramatic, powerful and vulgar.................... A masterpiece.
Miluji tyto dramatické mollove pultony !
Great 🎧👄
@@marcela77777 Ano. Velmi smyslná xxxxxx
brilliant
Dutch viewers might recognize this from the tune of ‘Kijken in de Ziel’ (tv-series)
That is Purcell's Cold Song. Only the melody of violins in front is Nyman's.
@B I A S E D music I see your point, but, Orchestration and the reharmonization do not constitute an original Composition.
@@TOMRIPLEYable75 - They do when you're a minimalist composer like Nyman. (Minimalism is weird that way). Yes, he borrowed from Purcell. Rearranging some phrases from King Arthur was done in part as a homage to Purcell. You'd be surprised how common it is for composers to borrow from each other.
I belived the same bro, just the beggining.
Вот это из, и да к фильму Гринуэя!!! Два гения содали гениальность в фильме - Гринуэй видеоряд, Найман гениально переложил Пёрселла!!!
Sublime
Simplemente genial
Эта завораживающая музыка звучит в бесподобном фильме Питера Гринуэя "Повар, вор, его жена и ее любовник" 1989 года. Для меня 50% успеха этого фильма. И мемориал, и музыка, и фильм особенно актуальны сегодня, когда идет война в Украине.

А причем тут сам фильм, собственно? Он этой темы даже не касается.
Все в точку , прямо в одну точку!!!
Слушал эту музыку в записи 17 года на Белгородском музфестивале и думал: прекрасные музыканты, но с большой вероятностью сейчас на стороне зла, как так может быть
Anyone been to the Met Museum yet for the Fashion exhibit?! Doesn't this song and 'Time Lapse' remind you of the soundtrack playing throughout the exhibit?!
Yes! It's a strings-only version of these two songs!!
Ariel Viera Do you know if is it available on TH-cam?
I went to met museum last saturday,and they playing this track on the exposition "heavenly bodies" awesome"
I saw the exhibit and can tell you it was meant to be controversial. This music also forms a lietmotif for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover by Peter Greenaway. The film also contains other, provacative themes and interplay between corruption and religious purity. Throw in the scene playing on the East wall of the Exhibit (the fashion show from Fellini's Rome) and the centerpiece referring to the legendary female Pope, and you have enough evidence to clearly infer the worst intentions. I spend a lot of time at the Met and Oasis Tours is a major customer, often running several groups at a time for Christian visitors and they are outspokenly and vocally critical of and at odds with the curators of the Met. It is my strong suspicion the Met management used this exhibit to provoke Oasis, thereby getting the last word in the debate and simultaneously boosting revenue by inciting rage -visits. I am not a fan of Oasis as I think they are incendiary themselves but the Met's gala and exhibit this year were distasteful and crass. They wouldn't dream of disrespecting other cultures in such a way but felt the middle-American Christian majority was fair play. It was poor form and a lot of insiders agree.
@MrZaZa3استاذ_زازع Please point out to me where I said anything even remotely like that or keep your completely fabricated accusations to yourself. It is telling that you are making up an Islamaphobic angle as it shows your own prejudice and xenophobia. Go back to the troll farm and stir shit in your own pot.
J ai découvert la musique de Nyman avec meutre dans un jardin anglais et depuis j apprécie et j y rentre
Love it
Uma das melhores coisas que alguém poderia ouvir
If only we had access to the rest of Nyman's composition (he deconstructed/"reassigned" most of Memorial, as is his wont). This is only the fifth movement.

Magnificent symphony
Sorry, no symphonic writing here.
@@DavidA-ps1qr why
@@Levisch Well, you tell me. Is the structure symphonic writing? It's based upon music written a hundred years before the symphony was invented !!!
Purcell: King Arthur, Act 3 - What Power art thou?
Primero sublime, después pasional, más pasional, el reclamo, después la deriva la calma, la resignación.....
You should mention in the video description that this piece is included in Michael Nyman's score for the Peter Greenaway film "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."
This is a quite different version from the film's soundtrack, actually. But it is the same composition. JFYI
Or we could just mention that, despite their falling out, Nyman and Greenaway are like Perseus and Andromeda, forever locked together as constellations of the broad and deep black sky.
@@KaiTakApproach Do you have any idea as to why they fell out? I had an inkling in hearing Nyman speak of his work with Greenaway recently that things were not as crystalline as once were perhaps.
@@benjamin5355 I read that it was because Greenaway took liberties with Nyman's work on their last collaboration, changing the music for the final cut without consulting Nyman. It was done in a way that infuriated Nyman and he swore he would never work with Greenaway again. I am sorry but I don't remember where I read that, only that it was online.
Was it not written before the movie?
Si tu vois ça mon âme... 🦋🧜♀️💗
💖💖💖💖💖💗
I was trying to figure it out what is so familiar, its from Henry Purcell's King Arthur's Aria - What Power Art Thou
Well Aaron there really isn't one. It's just some idiot people on this site think they are being clever by saying "this work sounds like that" or this composers' music sounds like that composers. It's totally infuriating and shows a complete ignorance of how music is actually written. But please don't stop questioning these fools! Good luck. David A.
@@DavidA-ps1qr He stole this whole cloth from Purcell.
@@DavidA-ps1qr thank you. I don't understand why people are so rude! I listen to this, as I am a big fan of the cook the thief etc, and have learnt from this, it is Henry Purcell (who knew?!) I certainly didn't as I am a novice in terms of classical music!
@@consma1 Polly thank you for your reply. The musical ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me. Michael Nyman in the 1980's attempted to recreate the music of English Renaissance music, in an effort to promote it, NOT copy it. This work is a classic example of that and was used with good effect in the film you mention. A powerful film, one of my favourites too. Michael Gambon & Helen Mirren gave amazing performances.
@@DavidA-ps1qr Thank you so much for your reply! I am a typical "I know what I like" person - same goes for art! This would be wonderful funeral music, but maybe a touch pretentious?
LA REPONSE.
Pouvons-nous le savoir, pouvons-nous comprendre ce qui est,
Et qui toujours penche vers l'abîme,
Vers le refus de la divinité,
Inflexible, énigmatique telle la naissance cruelle?
Non; des images défilent tristement devant nos yeux
Pris de vertige, troublés, chavirant vers l'avant,
Prière et rage également inutiles face au destin,
Qu'il croyait, titan dérisoire, tenir dans son poing;
une marche lourde comme de fantômes de pierre retentit
puis, le silence, le sommeil; plus rien...
Jamais plus. Jamais? Le choc des casques et des astres
A jamais éteint sans écho?
Les cisailles du vent de mars derrière la clôture,
Les murmures évanouis, qui s'agrippaient aux branches,
Echarpes de sang chaud tout à coup déteintes;
Où, mais où donc est allé le temps,
Dans quel rugissement d' insondable cataracte
Le vaste regard surgi de l'âme, la mélodie tendre des frênes?
Jamais plus le chant d'airain des sphères douces,
Prometteuses désemparées d'infini?
Il le semble, tragédie invisible,
Et pourtant, nous prévoyons que cela existera encore,
parce que d'autres - qui sont-ils?
seront-ils plus réels? - le verront, l'entendront, le sentiront,
telle une musique puissante, inoubliable jusqu'à l'éclipse du monde.
Quel est cet autre qui, sans cesse, inlassablement, pesamment, fort, si fort,
sourd de nous,
n'est-il donc pas nous?
en nous effaçant
lentement
7.43 super vocal
Good God have you ever heard anything quite like this ?
3 hours the same melody ? Yes, i have.
@@peterberger3928 Hahaha fantastic. Neverless, it is very tasty. And it id film music, and so very effective. You must watch it: 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover.'
yes, in Vivaldi's Winter
@@peterberger3928 3 hours? The work lasts 11 minutes. Suggest your watch needs a new battery.
@@feanfox WHAT!!! Absolutely no comparison at all.
Grishuk Platov fantastic dance is music
In Israel, this work was used in this weekend's news broadcast, covering the events of the month in the world
Very appropriate!

This is just Fleshgod Apocalypse worship
Heysel Disaster.
total ripoff of Purcells King Arthur
l'intenzione è differente: c'è differenza nel ritmo, e nello stile, ma forse c'è imitazione delle note,
se questo ha imitato quello, non lo ha fatto per faciltà : piuttosto ricostruzione di un pensiero,
come
riprendere il filo un discorso
you're right, I just listened to Purcell and it's almost the same..
l' "interpretazione" di Nyman a mio parere è fantastica
