- In this video we'll watch Mozart's Most METAL Piece....which is "Lacrimosa"....part of his lager Requiem. The chords in this work of art are perfect examples of the classical style. Diminished 7th chords, secondary dominants, neapolitan and more. Who's going to make a metal version? So grab your axe and let's do this muhahaha

Ok! Here we go
Badass part of the Requiem. I keep thinking of Amy Lee and that choir, while the band is jammin
@@ggarzagarcia that'd be cool
@@ShredmasterScott 0:44 In fact, I checked it on Wikipedia. The piece was completed by Süssmayer
You’re an eloquent machine with a guitar brother!
Mozart originally wanted to do metal... he couldn't afford the gear, he was baroque.
I'll see myself out... Great vid, btw!
That was a very good joke actually, people prolly didnt get it
That was funny, but Mozart was Classical, not Baroque
Hmmm, not bad
It's really refreshing to see other metalheads with a taste for classical music.
Yes it is, and you learn way more if you spend most of your life playing Classical on guitar.
@@Pax3897 I actually went straight from playing cello in a string quartets and ensembles to playing guitar in death and black metal bands in the 90s. Metal was honestly always my real passion from the get-go, all the way back to my first hearing Bay Area Thrash around '82 to getting my first taste of Tampa death metal around '85.
I still pick up the violin on occasion, when I'm not cranking out melodeath.
almost every metalhead likes classical music
@@mikaelianarm yeah was just about to say that. A lot of metal heads that actually like metal, and not just being some anti society fuck head that has no respect for his vocal cords, really can see similarities in the two.
@@mikaelianarm I wouldn't say *almost* every metalhead likes classical, the amount that don't isn't an insignificant number. With that being said, it is very interesting to note that overall, metalheads are far more likely to enjoy it than most average people. Which I find hilarious considering that most average people will insist we have shit taste in music and that we listen to noisy garbage.
Writing ones own
Requiem, is metal AF
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
that's what I'm saying
It was a commission for Count Franz von Walsegg, meant to be played at a requiem mass on the anniversary of the Count's wife's death. It's speculated that Walsegg was planning to pass the Requiem off as his own composition because he is known to have done that in the past, this was frustrated by Constanze Mozart, who probably invented the story of the mysterious messenger and Mozart's belief that he was composing the requiem for his own funeral as a way to keep Walsegg from doing exactly that- as Mozart had not left her much money behind at his death, reflected with his modest funeral (though it was far from the 'pauper's burial' that's been enshrined in pop culture).
Maria Constanze deserves some props for sticking it to the man who wanted to profit from her husband's death- truly a metal lady.
@@SavageGreywolf i love requiem
Fkin metal bro 🤙🤙
Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, K. 183 1st Movement is METAL AF too. Probably my favorite to play on guitar.
that's a good one too
He did that when he was just 17.
I'll assume that the OP already knows that Yngwie Malmsteen did an EPIC AF version of this on his Magnum Opus album. For those who might not know, its the 5th or 6th track and he named it "Overature 1622"... BAD FUCKING ASS...

True
I'm a classical musician/metalhead and I love what you're doing, popularizing classical music and music theory, keep up the great work man! You're the G.O.A.T.
I just realized Symphony X has a song named "The Death of Balance/Lacrymosa", it's 100% inspired after this song. Yeah, Bach was a metalhead but on a different era.
exactly
Michael Romeo such a god mr shred u needa do a video on him
@@ShredmasterScott Don't forget Lacrymosa by evanescence, a tribute and original song based off of it. Is awsome!
I like the confutatis more, reminds me of megadeth.
Lyrics are fire.
Remote Tumor Seeker by Archspire references that piece in the solo section.
Quite literally right?
@@1683clifton yea it's pretty much verbatim
Or dies irea
I'm a metalhead but I've always liked classical music in the back of my mind.
Metal heads can relate to classic more than most genres.
Who doesn't?! Black metal is classical as f*ck!
That whole requiem is metal. One of my favorite pieces that I performed in choir in college
Don't forget Lacrymosa by evanescence, a tribute and original song based off of it. Is awsome!
"Can you hear it Uvo? This requiem is for you!"
Shit that's exactly what I was thinking
I got to sing the entirety of the requiem with an orchestra for college, it was brutal.
Children of Bodom did some good work with Mozart's music...I think some of the stuff from their first album "Something Wild" has some Mozart on it.
The songs "Red Light in my eyes part 1" and "The Nail" have some riffs influenced by Bach. The Songs "red Light in my eyes part 2" and "Hatebreeder" have riffs influenced by Mozart. Alexi also played a metal version of Four Season summer by Antonio Vivaldi.
So did Symphony X. The amount of Bach and more classical references on their songs is huge, they even have a song named "The Death of Balance/Lacrymosa".
Yeah, Children used a variation on the main theme of "Confutatis" which is a 6th part of Mozart's "Requiem"...
Check out Yngwie Malmsteens song "Overature 1622" from the Magnum Opus album, has a direct rip of Mozart which is Epic AF and done with a power metal vibe. I also love his rip of Bach's Badinere on the song "No Mercy" from his Fire and Ice album. sick stuff.
@@ralphralpherson9441 We could talk for days about the classical stuff Yngwie's put in his songs...I'm a huge fan of his first 12 albums or so.
fantastique! i love that chord progression near the beginning. you break it down so well too
Evanescence also has a song called Lacrymosa
1:06 - Look at the use of major 2nd and _especially_ minor 2nd dissonances right there in the first measure. First you have a C# appoggiatura against a D, then you have a Bb escape tone against an A, then a D appoggiatura against an E, and then a C natural appoggiatura against a C# (!!!) It is purposefully dissonant, and yet completely subtle.
I wish Mozart made more dark work like this. It's so awesome! Confutatis is amazing as well.
Man, it's just scary, tonight I discovered your channel, first vid I saw was about Marty Friedman's solo from Tornado of souls.
That's my favourite too... and now this, Lacrimosa and confutatis maledicti are my favourite classic pieces.
People here who like this, I'd like to recommend the movie "Amadeus". In the end of the movie It comes along...gives me goosebumbs everytime.
I started with metal begin 70ties , my first record (Black sabbath) got it from my Aunt and stayed a metalhead ( yes, with long hair) till today, but always liked classical music as well.
Glad to see there a more like me, though I kind of knew that already.
Most metalheads I know like it to, some of them since the use of Carmina Burana by Sepultura.
I will subscribe, graet vids mate.
“The final plagal cadence.”
*spreads arms*
“GIVE IT TO ME”
Simply hilarious
Cool video! Antonio Salieri approves. Muhahaha! 🎸🤟🤟🤟
muhahaha
Watching this, I am literally sat here with my guitar, recording a project of metal covers of classical music already haha
I do that all the time. Classical just works so well as Metal.
Shred, you should review the Ligeti Requiem. The Kyrie is mega creepy and the Lacrymosa is also super spooky. Not sure if metal possible, but I love some scary music.
Metal music and classical/romantic music share a lot in common, music theory wise. A lot of people that like one, will appreciate and like the other
Next rachmaninoff 🍷💥💥💥
did some Rach the other day but def need more
Two of my favorite songs are Lacrimosa and Angel of Death - Abraham Lincoln
Great stuff man. Rachmaninov's Isle of the Dead would be the most metal classical piece I can come up with.
We need you to play a metal version of this now.
Tartini Devil's Trill Sonata is my personal fav of all the pre METAL pieces.
I’ve always seen your videos but never clicked on them.
Very happy I finally decided to start watching them.
Good stuff.
fun fact, many beleive (due to the original score was found in vienna in the year 18'something')mozart only wrote up to the first 8 bars of lacrimosa. he dies before he could finish it and it was finished by Franz Xaver Süssmayr, Mozarts student at the time of his death.
Love your work Shred. Always good to see a fellow lover of metal and classical music. Maybe do some Dvorak or Shostakovich next?
This piece is phenomenal
beautiful. everytime i hear this i start crying. it is so wonderful.
Beethoven's late string quartets is about as metal as you are going to get. Try the first movement of the 12th with the Emerson String Quartet and then, go to the Grosse Fugue. It doesn't get any more metal than his Opus 133. Then, try Shostakovich's String Quartet #8 (2nd movement) and then his symphony #10 (2nd movement with Petrenko). Then give Bruckner's 3rd chance. I could go on.
Thank you for the awesome respect you showed for what is IMHO the BEST piece of classical music. Much respect to you and your work!
Evanescence "I'd do anything for you" (& Lacrimosa)
when im listening to this i cant stop thinking. if and when humanity reach its extinction this would be the sound of sorrow
Please do more of these classical gems!!! This spoke to the soul most definitely
Don't forget Lacrymosa by evanescence, a tribute and original song based off of it. Is awsome!
Thank you for making me listen to and really appreciate classical music.
Hey Shred, I love to see you analysing classical pieces. I think Rachmaninov's music would be a good fit, it's always very dark. Of course the Prelude in c sharp minor, but what I really suggest you check out is th étude-tableau op. 33 no. 5 (Lugansky does the best interpretation by far)
I need to do more Rach
Fuck yeah! I knew it was going to be from the Requiem mass. And... while Lacrimosa is beautiful, dramatic, and one of my all time favorite pieces of classical music, I would say the most "metal" movement is the one before the Lacrimosa, which is "Movement VII. Confutatis". The Confutatis movement is BADASS and starts with that sick chorus rhythm I bet any student of James Hetfield could arrange for rhythm guitar... It would fit perfectly in the middle of any Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir, Dissection, or Amon Amarth solo bridge. Its just one of the most badass pieces of classical music ever composed. Im actually surprised Yngwie never incorporated it into a song, as he did so much with Beethoven's works.
However... minor disagreement aside, Cheers to you man! Great content and fantastic analysis and breakdown... Bringing attention to this amazing music and the sick ass chord changes is important as hell. Kids should study the work of the masters because it WILL make them better writers and players. Knowing how to modulate chords like the masters of music (let's be honest, no one this side of 1950 is worthy to carry Mozarts jock strap...with a few scant exceptions) will help you write and compose and I thank my early teachers for dragging me (often kicking and screaming) to symphony performances and for introducing me to these works. Mozart, Bach, CPE Bach, Beethoven, Handel, etc... This shit is so important to understand if you intend on writing melodic death, neoclassical, even power and folk metal.
I've never heard this before, but reminds me of Brahms and Ein Deutsches Requiem, also a very cool piece. Thanks for sharing! EW :)
your evillaugh is very convincing, I'm having chills
Yes! I've been waiting for your take on it :D
Man you should listen to Mendelssohn's Octet for strings (especially 3rd and 4th movement, but all of it is awesome) for some heavy headbanging metal in classical music. But there's so many of his pieces, he's my personal metalhead since i love classical music
Hey Shred, for the 100K special you should write the evilest pop song ever!
You should've showcased the key melody in a strong metal guitar sound, man.
I was waiting for it the whole video!
You'd basically get a Yngwie type of sound. :P
0:46 DID HE JUST REFERENCE AMONG US?!?! DID HE JUST SAY SUS!??!?!😳
Ty for your teachings 🙏🙏🙏
I really liked your analysis!! Any chance we get a similar one for Confutatis? I'm sure you are aware of it, it's the piece right before Lacrimosa and I think its chord progression on the second half is just insane and unique.
Do Bachs solo for Cello Suite #1. Pure molten metal.
Kneel before Zod!
@@richardmoores They will all kneel before Zod.
Piano Concerto no. 20, mvt 1 in Dm is metal and dark af as well.
Aaaahhh NOW we're talking .. thse cellos in the first movement .. the arguing parents and pleading child of the whole thing .. the nurrsery rhyme 2nd mov .. What a piece .. probably I'd call it Prog Rock. Also K397, when played by Mitsuko Uchida is just superb (any of the slower version -that give it room to breathe).
Requiem was no slouch in the intense/metal department.
have you done Mozart's 41st symphony 4th movement? if not, i believe 1-2 minutes before the end, he reached an apex by having 5 diffrent counterpoints/melodies or whatever all come together for a few bars and making it work. it is something amazing.
also, for something dark, the commandatore scene from don Giovani
the first movement of his 20th piano concerto , which by the way, was written in honor of his father coming to visit him in vienna.
1:12 i love when you tried to read polish names
Metal and classical music have a lot in common. Especially the dark sad and often melancholic moods. I love both, but none of the happy sounding stuff.
Hi Shred! Franz Schubert - Piano Trio No 2 in E flat major. An another excellent masterpiece of music!
Wow, i never knew this was Mozart...only makes me think how much of this guys music Ive actually heard in my lifetime so far, classical is SICK.
Awesome, your posts get better by the day. How about a lesson on how to speed up the fretting hand?
This kind of video is amazing, pls do more. With metal songs, but specially with classical pieces
Great video explaining Mozart lacrimosa! Please also do dies irae and red Greendale also from requiem?
You are a treasure, my friend. Brains and visceral emotion, ie. metal. I'd sub 10,000 x if possible. Keep the flame lit! Cheers from NC, believe it or not.
Used to sing it in a choir. Love it. Thank you!
Mozart's Requeim is my favorite of his works.
Hey, love your posts and your presentation, great job. I just was wondering what headphones you listen through, is it the AKG 240 model? It looks like it, I think.
Another great video!! Keep them coming!!!
Masterpiece❤️
Good job Shred
This is nitpicky but I figured I would mention it. The umlaut in Süssmayr is pronounced "soos" or like Suess. Umlaut vowels, in order of a-o-u are pronounced "ah," "oh," "oo." That's my $0.02 on the topic. Love your work friend.
I am just going to tell you how I found out about the song.
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special. It was the theme for Krauser, the game's final boss. Imagine: Mozart in a fighting game!
Great analysis. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the 40th Symphony in G minor. You could also tie it back to his Symphony 25 aka the little g minor symphony written in his late teens. I guess the classical period (not classical music) was mostly in major keys. But he always had minor keys in his back pocket
0:19 Poor Rocker, Like That Of Albinoni’s Adagio In G Minor
mozart? metal? epic beards? subscribed!
For me the most meetalpeace in classic is the beginning of Beethovens Symphony No. 9. The beginning is for me the craziest peace of music .
Yessss! I love this piece! Thank you so much for posting this video. Later Shred❤️
cheers Fredrik
Thank you Mister Shred!!!! Your a blessing in disguise "HAHAHAHAHA" (EVIL LAUGH)
P.S. Just in case someone is looking for more metal sounding classical.....Summer in G minor by Vivaldi. Concerto 1 in D by Paganini, heck anything by Paganini lol. Violin Concerto in Em by Mendelssohn. Serenade For Strings Tchaikovsky, Serenade Melancolique Tchaikovsky to name a few.
Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47
Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor, Op. 23
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18
Metal AF..
there needs to be more Tympany in metal
Shred, you've gone video-releasing mad!
51 year metal head checkin in. Listen to everything from Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica , Lamb of God, Pantera, Mushroomhead, Once Human, Gojira, Jinjer, Die Antwoord....Classical has led the pack from about 1982. Mozart, Liszt, Wagner, Chopin, Carl Orff, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Strauss. to keep things honest in life...with a bit of bluegrass in the mix.
Love the channel. Do you have perfect pitch, Shred?
true, this was pretty much the last notes he ever wrote. on his own. have you ever seen amadeus, this was the last song they played in the movie, well techinally there was a part of a piano conceto at the end, but at the end of his life anyway. mozart was amazing. makes me wonder what the entire mass would sond lke instead of about half of it if he had done it all himself.
although he did lay the outline for sussymayr and/or whoever else tried to finish it. as i bleieve there are 2 or 3 diffrent versions.
it is like he wrote the requiem for himself
4:27 hell yeah Shred. It's really hard to NOT headbang. this piece is indeed Metal. 🤘
I would say metal is about idiom not heaviness. Lot of alt rock is pretty heavy. In terms of “style”, Symphony in G minor is pretty metal. It has fast string runs, arpeggios, etc.
Hey I just wanna suggest something, because I talked about this with my buddy the song ''ONLY'' from Nicki Minaj has very evil sounding melody / riff on the keyboard.. To me it sounds more evil than the tritone, or more haunting I'd love to see your view on this particular riff only, Only from Nicki Minaj.. Thanks man.
@@bossman-jk9tl yeah that goes on for most of the song, so it is really evil sounding. Yeah you described it well. It is really a great haunting evil melody, I love it. This whole album from her is very dark as opposed to her first 2 have more of a happy vibe. this whole album was dark, and very personal and like Anaconda was the only song that was like fun and silly, all the other songs were DARK and really like sad, etc. So it's odd that Anaconda was on that album. lol
She has a lot of dark production that I tried transposing on guitar and it's so metal LMAO.....my favorite beat from her is "Come On A Cone", however "Did It On 'Em", "LLC", have extremely, atonal and super tritone production. Minaj has great taste in diminished tonalities, which is unique as Rap is strictly minor based most of the time.
@@bossman-jk9tl it's G# B C in that order for the keyboard part. Not even close to A Minor.
@@lopolik well it was a personal album and ai enjoyed it for that reason. "Anaconda" was just self depreciating humor. I hate "Buy A Heart" though, so out of place. Pink Friday doesn't have a lot of positive vibes either save the opening track, "Check It Out", "Fly" and "Last Chance" closer.
@@murk4552 Wow, I am glad I found someone who also knows Nicki Minaj songs! She is actually awesome, my favorite is the first two albums Pink Friday, and Roman Reloaded (Re-Up.) yeah Did it on em, Come in a Cone is awesome.. oh LLC is very dark as well, also the rapping on LLC is one of her fastest (if not the fastest, at some parts.)
This is my favorite piece ever.
Great video!
Great piece, although I was a little surprised you didn’t pair it with the Confutatis. With the right choir, the Rex and the Dies Irae are super metal as well
A masterpiece both harmonically and melodically! And it's a different experience if you listen to it live! Mozart felt his death and that's why his Requiem is so dark. Well done video Shred thank you!
Don't forget Lacrymosa by evanescence, a tribute and original song based off of it. Is awsome!
I am more intrigued with each of your viddies I observe.
My favorite metal song is Carmina Burana (O Fortuna)
When Don Giovani is taken down to the underworld by Il Comendatore... is to me the heavymetaliest piece of Mozart's repertoire. Don't know if it's because of the dramatic ambience, or if the music itself makes that sense. Or even the part in Amadeus film.
Thank you for your videos !
I know I'm not alone in thinking that if only they had electric guitars, these classical composers would've been metalheads
Dies Irae (I think it's spelt) from the same Requiem is just as metal, fast with some great runs in it
You are fantastic bro! Thanks
This piece of art is just mind blowing 🤘
The strings that keep the rhythm going sound like a depressed heartbeat.
Waltz, right?
