Yes, the orchestration of this piece of music is so masterful that you really just need to sit back, turn up the volume, close your eyes, and flow with the rhythm; and the choral accompaniment makes it soar!
Jon Anderson is one of the greatest melody creators in history. What a blessing he collaborated with Vangelis to write this amazing song, and what a joy to hear Donna Summer cover it.
But Vangelis wrote the melody. Although in this song maybe they would both did a mix of their melody contribution, also according to a Jon interview. But most would probably be Vangelis so music credits are Vangelis and lyrics credits to Anderson.
@@innosanto well they are both necessary to make this song as great as it is, and they complement each other beautifully in my opinion. I don't know why I am reminded of this, but a very long time ago (like in the 1970s) I saw Martin Mull performing live and one of the things he said was "People often come up to me and say, "Marty, when you write a song, what do you write first the words or the lyrics? And I say, "Yes!" I think there was more to it, but that's the part I remember.
Think its called the resilience of a soul that has been broken many many times "The No1 Disco Dancing Diva" certainly got many many "War Wounds" However this icon and true unsung hero of lifes trials and tribulations carries her wounds and medals on her sometimes broken body but always scarred with pride Ultimately graced and humbled for her lessons of life She will live on within our vesiles as we the followers must never forget and always rejoice and unify🙌🤝 in peace and harmony as evolution dictates (Biological and Innate Mechanisms) and NOT "The Toxic Orthodox and Propaganda" (Brain Washing) path that is encouraged by this "Mad Sad And Modern Society" Hallelujah Hallelujah "Lest We Not Forget The Unsung Heros Of Life" There are so many subliminal messages with certain artists and masters of their craft's and hold so many keys to open many many doors in our path and ultimately lifes decisions on how we open these doors Peace Love and Unity My fellow Old Skoolers from the Heart 💚 WE THE TRUE FOLLOWERS ARE ALL TRADITIONAL IN ORIENTATION
Donna Summer is definitely THE DISCO QUEEN and POP ICON and her influence and legacy were done in her own unique way. I can identify with Donna Summer and her creativity.
Love this song and love love love Donna Summer since her disco days... can never get her off my list of music requests.... thank you for sharing and letting the world see a true diva and someone who can be listened to day or night!!!!
Thank you for posting one if my favourite songs of all time. This performance with full orchestra, and backing vocal is sublime. Donna your beautiful voice lives on. ❤❤❤
Amazing version. I hope someone gets into the Studio and manages to bring this back to life! Even if it does mean Digital Remastering. PLEASE someone do it❤
This version ... th-cam.com/video/8NEE-OHGThw/w-d-xo.html ... with her daughter, both sisters and nieces n nephews is by far the best live version. I only wish someone could remaster the video to full HD, it certainly deserves it, as does Donna
There is simply no boundaries to the sublime ART OF NOISE or should that be A WORK OF ART? It sends a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eyes. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. A world united 🌏❤🌏❤ June twenty two 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍😃👍
She is over 60 years old, sick with lung cancer, the whole audio is just shitty and STILL that voice of Donna easily sends shivers down your spine. Totally love that woman!
My NYC brother, former studio 54 patron, used to ring me up on a bad day and we would listen to this song together. Only, not since that day of tragedy. That day. RIP my brother.
Queen Summer AON orchestra choral They are all perfect !!...We must not forget the two Danish fabulous percussionists of Safri Duo on the vibraphone....Fantastic live of genius Vangelis an Jon song
Mi juventud. Fue acompañada por la reyna de la musica disco, señora Donna Sumner. Que en oaz descanse. Suempre escuchare su musica. Soy Nicaraguense, con 64 años. ❤😢
What a fantastic arrangement for the orchestra! It’s so true to the original, yet it incorporates many new sounds that can only come from the full orchestra. It’s the perfect blend.
Best live performance ever!!! Amazing as she always was. The safari duo guy is gorgeous!!! And love how the backing singer in the middle is getting right into it! And love Jenny!! ❤️
Many thanks for the upload. Who's Afraid of the Art Of Noise? I'm still in "Moments In Love". Together with the "Queen of Disco". Never heard this Vangelis masterpiece in this combination. R.I.P. (La)Donna Gaines.
Wow i can ONLY imagine the Thrill of performing this Amazing Anthem with SUCH A BACKING of Orchestra and amazing Musicians AND Singers ! A ways from Disco eh! :D
This version surpasses the original and it is thanks to Donna Summer really is an unbeatable singer. God have her in glory where she belongs God have her in glory where she belongs Dios la tenga en la gloria donde le corresponde May god have her in glory where she belongs.
Yes and the best and considered the definitive version 💜💜💜 This version is a masterpiece 💜💜💜 Some times a good song can be taken to a magic place by an incredible singer and this is a case in point. I assume you have listened to the original it doesn’t hit the scale of this version 💜💜💜
@@gabrielgatsby The other version is better but she tries more to convey the meaning of the words. So she sings more to point but still the other version is better. It is just that this is the poppy version and the other is psychedelic-techno-jazz - prog version.
I used to deliver milk to the Anderson household and saw him rehearsing in St Augustine's Church school hall when he was with the Warriors. Still have all their autographs.

Sometimes the music is so MASSIVE that you just have to sit back and let it take you with it.
Yes, the orchestration of this piece of music is so masterful that you really just need to sit back, turn up the volume, close your eyes, and flow with the rhythm; and the choral accompaniment makes it soar!
I've never heard this version with a full orchestra. Donna Summer, one of the greatest voices in music history
Linda cancion. Yo desde chile
YES THE GREAT EFFORTLESS VOICES

I absolutely agree 👍
I had the great honor of seeing her live..this was her encore with full orchestra...I think I cried

Donna suffering here with lung cancer, the way she looks to the backing singer 😢 i can handle this now thanks, just wow!!
Backing singer is Jenny Berggren from Ace of Base. They became very good friends till the end..
Think its called the resilience of a soul that has been broken many many times
"The No1 Disco Dancing Diva" certainly got many many
"War Wounds"
However this icon and true unsung hero of lifes trials and tribulations carries her wounds and medals on her sometimes broken body but always scarred with pride
Ultimately graced and humbled for her lessons of life
She will live on within our vesiles as we the followers must never forget and always rejoice and unify🙌🤝
in peace and harmony as evolution dictates
(Biological and Innate Mechanisms)
and NOT
"The Toxic Orthodox and Propaganda"
(Brain Washing)
path that is encouraged by this "Mad Sad And Modern Society"
Hallelujah Hallelujah
"Lest We Not Forget The Unsung Heros Of Life"
There are so many subliminal messages with certain artists and masters of their craft's and hold so many keys to open many many doors in our path and ultimately lifes decisions on how we open these doors
Peace Love and Unity My fellow Old Skoolers from the Heart 💚

Off the scale....Mind-blowingly perfect. R.I.P. Donna. You are missed.
I think this was one of her performance where she said I'm gonna do it before I die..... and she did. I love you Donna Summer ❤
If I could 'like' this a thousand times ... I'm a weeping wreck here. Magnificent!
Amen, I miss her ,what a beautiful angel
Donna Summer is definitely THE DISCO QUEEN and POP ICON and her influence and legacy were done in her own unique way. I can identify with Donna Summer and her creativity.
Her voice is incredible, I’ve always loved her, so beautiful too.

Best performance of this song by Donna I've seen yet. The orchestra, the singers-everything just never fails to give me the chills. Just beautiful!
needed to build up more smoothly to the climax I think, too much noise from the start - like say the Wilson sisters' rendition of Stairway to Heaven ?
This version is superb
What an amazing collaboration, hairs were up on my neck for most of it .
There is something about State of Independence that just makes me fall in love with the song.
It's just a dammed good song, thats all...
There is simply no boundaries to the sublime ART OF NOISE or should that be A WORK OF ART? It sends a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eyes. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. A world united 🌏❤🌏❤ June twenty two 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍😃👍
Not an autotuner in sight. Real deal right there.
Donna add the icing on an originally a great song. Art of Noise + orchestra is amazing.
And fabulous Safri Duo !!...
Jesus. That was special.
I was so blessed to hear it live with orchestra and full background
What year was this?
2005 Antwerp Belgium

Music and lyrics by Jon Anderson (Yes) & Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, etc). Donna’s version is a cover.
