I picked Sardinia-Piedmont as my first campaign in Victoria 3. I started a diplomatic play to conquer one of the Italian city-states. Austria joins on their side. A choir starts singing 'Dies irae'. Unforgettable moment.
”Lord, almighty Hail, Thy kingdom Bless our souls and save us Sanctify our prayers Lead us, reveal the way Dies irae Dies illa Lord, almighty Hail, Thy kingdom Save this world from suffering, torment and despair Lead us, reveal the way Dies irae Dies illa Hail, Thy kingdom Bless our souls and save us now”
Casualties in the millions, so far. Dependents count rising. Growing, crushing debt. Devastation decreasing throughput and causing famine... Great Wars really look deadly in this game.
This piece of music is amazing but he didn't write the dies irae part , that is an excerpt from the messa da requiem, which Mozart and verdi have composed for.
This is by far the best track in the entirety of the game. I'd go a step further, I think this is the best track from any Paradox game, period. Bravo, Håkan! A true masterpiece!
What I love about this is the lyrics are the pops telling God "the player" to forgive them on judgement day. The soundtrack needs more song about people singing about themselves, how the world is and how it ought to be.
Basically my theme song for my final year in college especially doing that dreaded thesis. Been listening to this masterpiece, to ease my anxiety. Lead us!
This track always reminded me of Total War: Napoleon. Both that game's soundtrack and this piece sound "cinematic": you just don't listen to them, you always imagine a story along. A movie plays in your head, with this music.
I think this is my favourite out of the OST, it's perfect for wartime! All of your songs have a grand, powerful feeling and they always fit the theme of the game!
On my first play though I was playing Russia. My economy was doing well and I was quite cocky so I decided to do a bit of expansion. Late 1840, I made a diplomatic play against the Germans for east Prussia. Turns out my army was quite shit so I got pummeled and was getting desperate. I called on all my conscripts, using up most of my money and going into the negative. My main goal was to bleed them dry. I had about 500,000 men on the front. Then this song played. It really emphasizes the desperation and the pure will of survival of the homeland. It turned into a long slugging match. Suffice to say I lost that war, had a revolution, and promptly died. Probably the best and most memorable moment of this game.
Благодарю! Прекрасный саундтрек для чудесной игры. Как метко выразился один из комментаторов, когда слушаешь это произведение, то не просто фоновая музыка, или музыка эпохи, а ещё и сам переживаешь те события, как бы находясь в историческом фильме.
Hauntingly beautiful soundtrack! I've lost count of how many times I've listened, bravo! Also, the contrast of the soundtrack with the picture has a fascinating melancholy.
This piece is very reminiscent of Mozart's Dies Irae. I can't tell if the composer is quoting parts of it, or just that he's capturing the same general kind of feeling. This is much slower and more melodic, almost dirgelike. It definitely nails the mood, I'd have believed it if someone showed me this piece and told me it was from a late 19th Century Requiem. It's a lovely piece, I'm always happy when it comes up in the game music.
@@HakanGlante Thanks for the response! I guess I just heard the familiar lyrics and assumed this piece was like those other Requiems I was familiar with. Anyways, it's a great piece, thank you so much for your work!
@@whynotcaptaincrunch Thank you, whynotcaptaincrunch! I’m sure you can find similarities with other compositions in my music. I think it’s impossible to stop being influenced subconsciously by music you’ve heard in your life. Also, sometimes you write something that’s similar to something you’ve never heard.
Amazing song, but when they sing "Dies Irae, Dies Illa" it really sounded like they were screaming "PENIS" and I couldn't get that brain worm out of my head lol. Thank god I found the actual lyrics.
Having never played the game, I was listening to the Victoria 3 soundtrack since the track list from the original (almost all period composers) is probably my favourite in gaming history. So of course I had to hear the Vicky 3 soundtrack! When this piece came on, it stopped me in my tracks. Amazing. You really knocked this one out of the park!
Oh, and it was lovely to see the Dies Irae back in here - as you doubtless know, the original Victoria soundtrack includes both Verdi and Mozart's renditions :-)
Glante excelled in this one, this is by far the best composition in the game soundtrack. It's like if Howard Shore, Nino Rota and John Williams had an heir.
Your music brought me back to the historical scenes. Generals were making plans, soldiers gathered in the barracks, and their families just standing around the path that they are headed, a path to war, to glory, and to death.
- Korean subtitle - "전능하신 주님, 당신의 왕국을 찬양합니다. 우리의 영혼을 축복하고, 구원하시옵소서. 기도하는 이들을 돌보아주옵소서, 우리를 이끌고, 길을 밝혀주시옵소서. 진노의 날 바로 그 날 전능하신 주님, 당신의 왕국을 찬양합니다. 이 땅을 고통과 고난, 그리고 절망으로부터 구하옵소서. 우리를 이끌고, 길을 밝혀주시옵소서. 진노의 날 바로 그 날 당신의 왕국을 찬양합니다. 이제 우리의 영혼을 축복하고, 구원하시옵소서."
I am playing and I hear calm music. All of a sudden I hear "DIES IRAE", bro I ain't never heard a composition this good that I wanted to hear it over and over. My g, kudos to you
I just want you to know that literally I think your score actually makes the game for me. With out it I dont think I'd have dumped this much time into already.
Amazing song. It reminds of a darker tone of Christopher Lim's theme song for Civ 6 which was an amazing song. I really hope you at least get a mention in the Game awards for best sound track.
Glorious composition, perfectly encapsulates the Stately Quadrille in 1914 dancing to the song of their own making, helpless to stop it now as every calamitous tendency of the entire structure of their age now turn inwards on the age’s architects themselves as a generation mobilizes for war and Europe is bathed in blood.
This song is really fantastic. Is the melody at the beginning an oboe or a bassoon? Whatever it is, it doesn't really matter. With just that brief introduction, the Belle Epoque's splendid and vibrant age of humanity is over and the age of death leading to World Wars is coming. I got to know you for the first time through this 'Victoria 3' game, but it's an honor to know you even now.
I only came here because I'm dying inside waiting for the embargo to be lifted. Nonetheless, I fucking love this song. If I remember correctly I don't think there was a song this "dramatic" in vic2's soundtrack, so it's very refreshing to hear it here.
I love this song! It has to be one of the best in the game, the lyrics are beautiful truly a masterpiece! And love the part at 4:06 and the whole song.
Imagine we are blessed with tracks of this intensity like this when playing as Union in the Civil War, the Ottomans against the Russians, the Spanish against the US, the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese, the Greeks in the Greco-Turkish War of 1921, or the Russian Civil War?
Hard to say. At first I often spend quite some time composing. In this case (Victoria 3) I started in 2018, I then waited for a over year until the recordings of the orchestra and choir. Then a few more years until release of the game. 😲 So it certainly felt like a long time.
@@HakanGlante if that's the time frame for a paradox release. I hope you've already started on EU5 soundtrack! They have to give you the job after the stunning work you've done on Viccy 3
It almost sounds like a theme for a battle where the greatest, brightest, and most powerful human beings that have ever existed in the universe are summoned to fight against the phenomenon of entropy itself, a fight so utterly futile that it unleashes their true potential, as the end of all things encroaches upon them all.
This reminds me of European style marches. Almost German in influence. Are you perhaps planning to use American style marches in the future? ( For those unfamiliar US marches tend to be very upbeat and celebratory of marching off towards victory)
One minute of silence for the numerous Americans complaining about "the p*nis song" in Victoria 3. Freud would be proud ! ("Dies irae", classical formula if there's one for that type of songs, means "days of anger")
The game goes up to 1936 yeah? Trench warfare in WW1? I meant, some of the most brutal forms of warfare and military tactics were based in WW1 and it works well for any of the major nations except France and the US

Totally agree. Magnificant
I picked Sardinia-Piedmont as my first campaign in Victoria 3. I started a diplomatic play to conquer one of the Italian city-states. Austria joins on their side. A choir starts singing 'Dies irae'. Unforgettable moment.
”Lord, almighty

Sanctify our prayers

Dies irae
Dies illa
Lord, almighty
Hail, Thy kingdom
Save this world from suffering,
torment and despair
Lead us, reveal the way
Dies irae
Dies illa
Hail, Thy kingdom
Bless our souls and save us now”
A fitting song for late-game.
Casualties in the millions, so far. Dependents count rising. Growing, crushing debt. Devastation decreasing throughput and causing famine...
Great Wars really look deadly in this game.
but it literally appears in the tutorial
Victorian civilization's suicide.

@@HakanGlante SUPER !!! you are right the requiem has inspired many good musicians : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_irae
What I love about this is the lyrics are the pops telling God "the player" to forgive them on judgement day.
The soundtrack needs more song about people singing about themselves, how the world is and how it ought to be.
I’ll keep that perspective in mind the next time I write something with vocals for a game!
Ah, ye old faithful... *Dies irae!*
Basically my theme song for my final year in college especially doing that dreaded thesis. Been listening to this masterpiece, to ease my anxiety. Lead us!
Thank you and good luck with your thesis (without too much torment and despair 😉).
Holy shit man, you're the second coming of John Williams, you're a genius. This piece is masterful
I can’t thank you enough, hard to relate to this, having trouble finding the words to say thank you!
