Crazy lucky that Mozart left his midi files for us and future generations
😂😂😂
Talk about having foresight
idiot they ddidnt have midi in the 1500s
@@asloii_1749 yeah I know. I was there.

It's strange, but a lot of people who think they don't like orchestral music, will be deeply moved whilst watching a film, and not even be conscious they are listening to orchestral music, and the whole range of emotions it can convey.
100%. Great comment.
I'm personally so tired of hearing just orchestras in movies. It's been done to death for 100 years already, can we move on aaaa
It's a rare thing to find such people who talks this passionately about classical music. Keep up the good work buddy!
?
Thankyou so much to talk about classical music.
This is probably the best explanation I’ve heard. I’m not classically trained. But I think I kind of understand why people call him a genius now.
Yes I would like a breakdown of this piece of music!
The first time I heard the Lacrimosa I was in tears at the end.
I have a guitar arrangement of the Lacrimosa I enjoy playing for myself. Taking this music apart and seeing how it works is an amazing experience. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Could you please share your guitar arrangement? I'd love to play it. Thanks in advance!

Interesting topic. I like how understanding harmony can make your songs better, so analyzing important Pieces is like having a cheatsheet !! :D
Mozart did exactly the same thing...that’s why his music changed over time, after studying with Haydn and J.C. Bach, among others
The introit of the requiem and the ouverture of the Magic Flute are beyond compréehension too.
Thank you Dom, that is one of the most wonderful pieces of music EVER written .. thank you thankl you thank you!!
Dom you are a treasure, nobody makes videos like this, music theory with fun modern approaches and a jovial charismatic host. Fantastic job, i really like your videos and you are really really talented. Thanks for this aweskme vid
Check out Adam Neely's channel, it will blow your mind
While Mozart died before he could finish Lacrimosa himself, I think Franz Xaver Sussmayr deserves a fair amount of credit for tying it all together the way he did too! Especially with the ending, which goes from a Minor Plagal Cadence to a Picardy Third. Normally the Picardy is associated with a brighter and more "hopeful" sound, but Sussmayr, through some black magic, managed to make it sound absolutely crushing, like all light has fallen.
Dom, this video is incredible. Bullseye. You took up the challenge of opening the mind of younger musicians for classical masterpieces with a modern approach. A specialist in music technology talking about the genius of Mozart, if one guy have the credibility to do this. it's you. More-more-moooore!!!! ;-D
Bro, please more Mozart analysis!!!! I came here because in my own compositions I find my harmony somewhat boring, and you explained this amazingly. Great job, thank you, and please do more!
Thank you Dom for this!
This was great! Thanks so much for doing, also one of my all time favorites! Great work.
absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
Duuuuuuuuude. This is a killer idea. Can’t wait.
This was wonderful; I enjoyed it so much. Thank you, Dom, for another inspiring video.
Once again Dom, brilliant video
Brilliant Dom! You’re a genius too! Love it!
Awesome. Thank you for this video!
Love this piece. Your video just made me to love it even more! Thank you!
Love your analysis. Awesome. My heart is fill this evening with the most beautiful music. Thank you!
AMAZING! Your passion is contagious. Wonderful job; I'm delighted. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos: following you is just a pleasure!
This was an excellent video, thanks so much for making it!
Keep your favourite pieces coming! Love the harmonic analysis, your knowledge and enthusiasm...
Great vídeo, i would like more like this. Thanks a lot, Dom.
Brilliant work!!!
Beautifully done! It's always great to go deeper into masterpieces of classical music! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
OUTSTANDING!!
Woooow! A video that none should miss! A great composer's harmonies by another great composer!
great video Dom!!!
Great job as always! 👊
Most satisfying build up to a cadential 6/4 ever. Thanks for this, Dom!!!
Really enjoyed this.
so much passion in this piece, also to Don. You can feel it from your heart! amazing !!
I just love this! You explain it very well. I found it very interesting especially since this field is kind of new for me. Thanks Dom!
I had no idea a chord analysis could be this adventurous, kudos!
I watched this video a few times over in the past year. Dom’s enthusiasm and explanation really delivers Mozart’s brilliance so well. And it’s so instructive and inspiring. Thanks, Dom & Mo! 😉
Great idea! So beautiful...
Love this classical music study!
Thank you, Dom for making this video with such enthusiasm and fun. If we see further, it is only because we are standing on the shoulders of giants.
Dom, thank you so much for helping Classical music to be alive! Cheers from Brazil!
I liked you and your content already, but now you have my mad respect for doing a video on classical music. Love your channel!
Thank you for sharing this. Beauty will save us.
I love this. Mozart is absolutely incredible
Top stuff here Dom. Truly inspiring 👋👍🙏👊
My favourite Mozart piece.
Yes Dom, we want to see how you made it, it already sounds great. I think we'll appreciate that😊👍
Great job. I literally could not find a theory breakdown this good anywhere on YT. Im using your video to write out the main theme as a sort of lead sheet with chords so i can study it more easily. Again, thanks brother.
Amazing 👌🏻 Great how much fun you have during the production 😎
By far your best video so far.. thank you..
What a wonderful video. Thank you Sir
gratulations- you know a lot about music harmony and moreover you are a great teacher with much motivation. Thanks so much!
Excellent work bro
Loved the video! I love lacrimosa and i always get those goosebumps, too. Mozart was really incredible and it's bittersweet that he didn't finish it; I would've loved to hear how he would've done it, but I'm grateful to his student that he finished it so we could still have a listen today. You really made the breakdown of the harmony and the chords understandable, and now I'm really inspired to go write some music. I even watched the adds cause just after just a couple minutes in, I really felt like you deserved that. You're probably also one of, if not *the* only one, that i've subscribed to after just one video. Great work!
Thank you for your explanation of the chord scales of a Mozart musical piece that steals and enthralls me.
Love it!
This was fantastic.
Beautiful, one of your best videos so far! I love the Mozart Requiem all, but the way resolves that Bflat German 6 into d 4/6 it's so genial (also love the suspended cadence on the dominant right after, just to confirm the D minor tonal center even more, astonishing...)
This is so amazing Dom Sigalas.. I really love the amazing work you do... I have been following you and you do incredible job...
Every time I see this vid… Dom U’re killing us !! Extraordinary, simply magic !!
it seems to me like I’m hearing Neville Mariner’s St Martin in the Fields, although I heard this piece maybe thousands time.
You really made something great, I think this is the best electronic music piece ever done !
Hi Dom, amazing analysis of this magnificent piece. I sang the Requiem years ago for the 200th anniversary of Mozart's death and the Lacrimosa was my favorite part. I can see your passion for this music! Great video, thank you!
Another fantastic video on this piece!! I love the interjections from 'Amadeus' - the Lachymosa at the end brought me to tears, it still does. Thank you for discussion the scales and tension building. I am a composer myself and I am always looking for ways to build character, tension and interest in the uses of harmony. You do excellent videos and I will be watching for more. Fantastic job. It would be interesting to see what Mozart would have accomplished if F. Murray Abraham didn't do him in! lol :-) I am envious of your studio and equipment as well! Keep up the excellent work, Dom!
Perfect analysis. I actually found you by searching "lacrimosa harmony analysis" without too much hope of finding smth. The internet will never stop to amaze me
Awesome. Dom, you are the Greatest ✨✨✨
Nice explanation! Thanks maestro!
Arrepiante, extasiante. Maravilhoso!
So so amazing...
Thank you Dom Sigalas.
It is very deeply explanation what and how Mozart did in this part of Lacrimosa.
Great explanation
i love this song
holy shit thank you for this video, you literally saved my life since i chose to base my skilled work on this incredible piece!
I’d love to see how you put this together, it sounds incredible.
Beautiful
You are Great!
There was a great episode on Mozart in the City where the conductor refuses to do a version a robot has filled in for the part Mozart didn't get to. The conductor Roderigo just conducts the Requiem, including a beautiful version of Lacrimosa, my favorite as well. So wonderful, on Amazon.You did a great job. Thanks for keeping Mozart out there.
Great analysis Dom, thank you. Liked & subbed!
pls make a lots of video like this .... you are really great .. thanks
Lacrimosa is simply Divine!
Brilliant Analysis! Your passion is infectious. I share your enthusiasm.
By the way: The „natural B“ in the ascending melody was certainly not as surprising in Mozart's days as it seems today. In fact, this melody is not an ascending D minor scale. It’s an ascending D dorian scale, and it then continues as a chromatic scale. Dorian was the „standard mode“ of church music before Mozart, and Mozart probably used it to give the melody an „ancient holy“ feeling.
Also the chord progression was widely used before Mozart. It is called „La Folia“ (th-cam.com/video/uqihZj4kHiE/w-d-xo.html ) and here Mozart used it twice to underline the dorian scale. Like the Pachelbel canon, the „La Folia“ progression was extremely popular, comparable to today's four-chord progression or the ’50s progression or the descending fifths progression. A lot of hits used these chord progressions. Typically, the „La Folia“ progression is able to confuse the listener so much that he can no longer tell what key it is based on. The tonic seems to be constantly shifting from minor to major to... The main surprising event is, that Mozart switches to a chromatic scale, and therefore resolves the G major to C minor! (The Folia progression would resolve to C major instead)
And using the German Sixths is typical of Mozart. Nowadays these chords are called „Sub V 7“ and they are widely used in Jazz music and also Rock/Pop.
I hope the season will start with the phenomenous transition from the confutatis to the lacrimosa
Excellent! I like the way of remembering the German 6th. They're sods to remember at times with the French & Italian as well.
Dom you seriously should have 1million+ subs now excellent work Bravo.
Great video! Geeking out about the Mozart Requiem got me through music school. As a vocalist I am frequently reminded of Mozart’s tremendous knack for musical psychology when he’s setting a text, and I think an analysis of the text is helpful here as well. The text for this section is, in English, “when the guilty man rises from the ashes to be judged.” Mozart paints this with that huge ascending scale in the soprano, BUT ALSO on the harmonic level, he gives us a sequence rising by thirds (A to d, C to F, E to A, G to C). I think we can feel that root motion and the affect is visceral.
i feel in love with a video
Yes mr Dom nice 👍 video , please more videos like this 😋
Great video.
Excellent video Dom! Your shirt is also fantastic ... I want it!
Excelente vídeo!
What a brilliant video and analysis! It brought tears of joy to my eyes....
As a blues dude, these harmonies are sort of a mystery to me... :D But so beautiful!
I just found you , you are both funny and both informative thankssss!
also I really want to see more like these videos : )
Welcome, glad you liked this!
10000000000000 of Thanks, Dom.
Thanks!
This gives an entire different perspective to people who are unfamiliar with the classical music, LOVED IT! -- and for those who spends most of their time on jazz harmony or stuff like me, a quick reminder; aslo in jazz harmony, we see (ii b) voicings leading to the dominant/tonic time to time, like Mozart does. For ex: Db maj 7 - (G7) - C min6
You're the man Dom. I've been an Ableton user for years and am sorry I didn't begin with Cubase.The learning curve hasn't been easy, but not giving up. I played trumpet in the school band, and used to read music. The biggest mistake of my life was quitting. I got infected with underground music in the late 90's particularly progressive trance. Bought two Techniques 1200's and the rest is history.
your most passionate video, by far. do more, you are very good to transmit your goosbumps from music, and people needs to know who Mozart was. let's do a series about classical music, I think people will like.
Hi Dom! I really love your ethuasiasm , you really love music, that's great!
AND I love your huge screen in the back with the analyzer! I love coloured lights and screens and levels ...
Greetings from Germany!
