What I find sad is that Mozart died just when he was finally breaking out of his simpler Style Galant phase, partly due to his discovery of Bach's music when Mozart was 25 or so. Imagine if he had lived to 50 or 60!
Mozart had been writing polyphonic music both before and after he discovered Bach's music. He learned it from the religious music he was exposed to as a child in Salzburg which composers there called the "stile antico" and further from his counterpoint studies with Padre Martini. Perhaps there's a more noticeable effort to include longer episodes of fugal counterpoint in his works around the time he wrote k.387, but counterpoint is is still present even in his earlier works, especially the sacred music.
Before encountering Bach in 1781, Mozart's contrapuntal writing was inspired by the Salzburg masters, Johann Ernst Eberlin, Leopold Mozart, Michael Haydn and his childhood teacher Padre Martini of Bologna, and Fux's Gradus ad parnassum (published in 1725).

@@davidjames1684 That's logically false. It implies perfection. Any change from its current form would automatically lead to less quality. Whether that's true is another question but metaphorically the statement does make sense.
@@davidjames1684 This is my last reply because you are clearly quite the idiot. If your premise holds true, then how about taking away another note, and another note? At what point, isn't the piece perfect anymore? Perfection is something ultimate. The statement is CLEARLY not meant to be taken literallyanyways, but is there to point out that Mozart's music was exactly as it should have been. That every note seems to be placed with such elegance and care. That he couldn't have imagined it to be better if anything changed. You'd probably reply to a love letter that writes: "I will love you forever" that this is IMPOSSIBLE because the author would die at some point and hence would stop loving. On a completely different note: This quote is from a movie and nothing more. The connection people draw between Mozart and Salieri stems more from the movie Amadeus than real facts. Now walk off you wimp.
@@davidjames1684 I just read the first lines of your comment and I am already too triggered to continue. "Just because Mozart may have thought his work was good or even "perfect", that doesn't mean that all other people would." The quote is from a movie. In that movie the quote is not even from Mozart but Salieri. You lack any ability to connect premises with a sound conclusion. Muting this thread now. Your stupidity annoys me.
I love him. His music is just heavenly, brilliant and beautiful. I never knew a human being so spiritual and close to Godliness. He is God's gift to the music world. There is so much depth and emotion. I think he is more than genius. I love him.
I had the honor to sing in a choir and with Haendel´s Messiah this Requiem it is the top, and sincerely I also think Mozart was, is, and will be the best God´s musical gift for mankind.
The Requiem of Mozart is a true treasure to the testament of humanity! To even think that Mozart passed away after composing till 22:59 but had drafted the Lacrimosa movement is stunning! I once read a story about the day of the Requiem - "On the very eve of his death, [Mozart] had the score of the Requiem brought to his bed, and himself (it was two o'clock in the afternoon) sang the alto part; Schack, the family friend, sang the soprano line, as he had always previously done, Hofer, Mozart's brother-in-law, took the tenor, Gerl, later a bass singer at the Mannheim Theater, the bass. They were at the first bars of the Lacrimosa when Mozart began to weep bitterly, laid the score on one side, and eleven hours later, at one o'clock in the morning (of 5 December 1791, as is well known), departed this life." (from the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung news "magazine") I love this piece! Thank you so much for sharing!
I believe in God myself but the point I want to make here is I really do 'feel something' when I listen to Mozart's music like this... what a brilliant requiem and composer, it seems like he connected with a higher power, to me at least.
What do you mean if “God Allows” you? You can know for certain right now on Earth by accepting Christ and working every day to make the world a better place of good and peace. Not trying to be preachy but that’s the truth.
@gary Kaczmar according to the NDE experiences, in heaven there is a music so beautiful and perfect that no human music can minimally approach to it...
JGC and Aleksander, Catholics believe that God gives you the sanctifying grace to reach heaven as a gift of your baptism, but it can be lost through mortal sin. You then regain the sanctifying grace of God by repenting, feeling sorry for your sins, and confessing them to a priest who absolves you (as is prescribed by Christ in the Gospel of John 20:23). It is, in the end, God who decides whether or not you go to heaven when you are judged by Christ - both perfectly just and perfectly merciful. This is probably what Gary is getting at, saying "if God lets me" is a way of being humble before the awesome power of God. Please everyone pray for me, I will try to remember to pray for you. May God bless you and have mercy on the soul of Herr Mozart.

Such a magnificent work of art. I can't even imagine how this work could be even better but we all know if Mozart lived to complete it, he'd have found a way! Amazing recording. Gardiner has a way with interpretation.
Yes, and at times startlingly bizarre - some wildly exaggerated changes in dynamics and choral articulation at times. I have always admired Jiggy's work, but not (I fear) his ways with Süssmayer & Mozart.
For choristers like myself, these videos are priceless. This is not the first one I've used to help me learn and practice, I'm sure it will not be my last. Thank you very much for your efforts - they are truly appreciated!
Wolfie played his Viola and directed at the same time. I studied a ton of his work in college looking for his Viola concertos. He played them often with his orchestra but not a single Viola concerto exists. I postulated that Viola solos were not big sellers then as now and a severe shortage of toilet paper... He played any one of his French Horn, Bassoon, Clarinet and Violin concerti at any given time, he just always called it his, Viola concerto.
I'm agnostic almost atheist but Mozart truly makes me wonder if there is a god, how can a mere human compose such beautiful sounding music is beyond my comprehension.
I roll my eyes everytime I read a comment like this. We have no trouble saying humans are evil scum when we do bad things but when we so very rarely actually bring something beautiful in this world like this music, we give the glory to a fictitious being called ''god''.
This song (Requiem - Rest) was made by Mozart, and he dedicated it fully to God and the catolic liturgical traditions. You just said that you appreciated a song which all the time worship someone that for you is "fictitious", but for the composer is FACT! Curiously confused from you. I can't understand why are you reclaiming about people that recognize the esential message in this song and don't follow your atheist nihilist view. If you felt someting beautiful that made you feel good, so you have to thanks to Mozart and his afflatus.
Just food for thought. If there is no being who transcends our laws of the universe and is absolutely true, perfectly good, and beautiful, then how can there be absolute truth, good, and beauty in this world?
So therefore, I assume you did not think it was wrong for Nikolas Cruz to shoot the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, since in his eyes it was "good". According to your definition of good, why would it be wrong for me to rob your house? Certainly, to rob your house and gain wealth from it would be good for me! Natural selection would be playing out, since I am taking your resources for myself. Maybe I would take your wife, so I could breed more children. Do you see why this doesn't work? In every culture all around the globe, murder of the innocent is wrong. Why? You cannot answer that without acknowledging the existence of God.
Thank you so very much for uploading the music score. To be able to follow note by note is such delight. Wonderful deed you gifted us all by taking the time to do it. It breaks my heart to think of Mozart's physical and emotional distress at the time of his death while creating such an awe-inspiring musical jewel. My favorite music score, no doubt God spoke through Mozart's music. I try to follow it very carefully and join in Mozart's breath-taking plea to God.
magnificant recording - whereby you hear obviously that Mozart was greatly impressed by Michael Haydns Requiem because he and Leopold Mozart performed it as a musician
@@Whatismusic123 @morunic777 @iltrafficantediconoscenza there's this kid called Jacob Collier who.. Seems to have that potential. Might be worth a few minutes of your time. :)
there is nothing heart arresting like classical music. In fact, it points back to the time of the creation when seeing all He created, God exclaimed; it is beautiful. classical music is beautiful beyond normal beauty
Some people emphasize the fact that Mozart died leaving the requiem unfinished, and that it was finished by other composers. The fact is, 2/3 of the requiem was finished by Mozart. (ua-cam.com/video/M_0wBTkkT7U/v-deo.html) And Sussmayer and others used material from Mozart's earlier masses to finish the requiem.

Bach and Mozart are the composer i like most.I admit to hear most Bach.But this and the magic flute and g-moll sinfonie are really absolute master works.
I would say this is probably by favourite piece of music of all time. I often find myself enjoying masses and requiems, although I do not adhere to the faith of Christianity, mainly as a result of the beauty of the juxtaposition of orchestra and choir. And there are great pieces in this category, such as Bach's Mass and Handel's "Messiah," but absolutely nothing approaches the emotional depth of this masterpiece. Every single movement is incredible in its own right, but if I had to chose the three best in my opinion, they would be the famous "Dies Irae," of course, "Confutatis maledictis" and "Domine Jesu Christe." Thank you for uploading!
I'm sheltering in place due to corona virus. As of 3/27/20 650 thousands of people infected, over 30 thousands dead and no end in sight. Gyms, theaters, concert halls, movies, sport events are shut down and we are not supposed to congregate. Mozart and especially this requiem makes isolation livable. He is a true genius.
tThe greatest art is when the artist makes the utterly most tragic to feel good and enjoyable . I think I must have fallen in love with Mozart in forever
Mozart's Requiem is the Symphony of Death and Life! It symbolizes the judgement that God has in store for us all! To compose such a momentum work must be the work of a genius and that genius was God sent! The Requiem is one of the best orchestral masterpieces of all time!
Thank you again for an incredible recording mated with a wonderfully synced vocal score. These are invaluable when I'm listening at work and trying to learn the music.

Just a quick correction, the solo tenor that participated in this specific recording was Anthony Rolfe Johnson (1940-2010) and the solo bass was Alastair Miles.
This is the one piece Chopin requested to be played at his funeral in 1849. Some churches didn't allow females to sing, so when they did for this piece they had to be hidden behind a curtain
Please her the performance with Leonard Bernstein, it is absolute breathtaking. Especially the Lacrimosa - very flat here and without impression. Sorry to contradict you.
A brilliant scene. But sadly totally fictional. And by that I not simply mean that Salieri never had any hand in this, but rather that the parts that Mozart tells him to write down in that scene, are not parts of the fragments that Mozart left behind when he died. These are already Süssmayrs additions.
Quotenwagnerianer who cares if it’s fictional anymore, it’s just a movie and maybe some scenes may have been added that aren’t accurate to history but it’s art regardless. Does something need to be accurate to be art? We don’t even know what truly happened, we weren’t there to truly see.
Re comments on speed, I guess its as much a matter of what you're used to as anything else. Have known this particular recording since it was first issued and am very happy with the tempo.
Ending Lacrimosa on a plagal cadence rather than a fugue was a huge missed opportunity for Süßmayr. So many modern completions used an Amen fugue discovered in the 60s.
And to think he died before he could ever finish this. Could you imagine what it would have been if he did? I especially cry knowing he only wrote the first 8 bars of Lacrimosa and then nothing else. It's sublime as it is, but what it could have been had Mozart finished, or at least sketched it... The rest was added, first by Eybler, and then completed by Sussmayr in 1792. It was Sussmayr, and not Mozart, who wrote the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, although it's said that with Mozart's notes and directions. Mozart left the essence, in sum. A very sublime, exquisite skeleton on which others, since his death, have only made versions of. Very beautiful versions, nonetheless.
I read once, that Mozart wept when we realized that "Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla: judicandus homo reus" was the last text he would ever set to music. "Tearful is that day, which shall rise from the ashes: guilty man is to be judged..."
The first 8 bars of Lacrimosa isn’t actually all that Mozart wrote, he also wrote sketches and fragments for the Offertorium section that comes after. In fact, the actual last thing he ever wrote on the Requiem was at the end of the Hostias, which is final movement of the Offertorium. There is even evidence that he wrote tiny fragments of the Agnus Dei, which comes several movements after the Offertorium.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one I hope it's a place where I can meet mozart and get to sing his requiem as he intended it to be finished! don't get me wrong, I love it how we know it, and have performed it so many times I've lost count (sometimes at funerals) but I would love to know the entirety of Mozart's vision!
i know domine jesu was not written by mozart at all -seeing that he died before even finished lacrimosa- but let me tell you.... its absolutely heavenly!
Mozart actually did write the Domine Jesu and Hostias. Either he skipped over the majority of the Lacrimosa or (more likely) wrote the Domine Jesu and Hostias earlier, then went back and wrote up until the Lacrimosa.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't get what's so good about this. Like, it's good, don't get me wrong, but I don't understand why everyone is claiming that God was speaking through Mozart with this piece or that Mozart was God's gift to music or whatever. It just doesn't hit me. I'll admit I'm not even one for classical music, but as music composition is my goal, I wanted to look into the classical side of music and step out of my comfort zone. After playing FGO, Salieri's design and backstory caught my eye and he quickly became my favorite servant. I wanted to learn more about him, so I listened to his Requiem and I love that. It hits me the way I think this piece hits other people. Could someone please point out the parts they find particularly touching? There are some parts I really like, such as the Lacrimosa, but apparently Mozart only wrote the 1st 8 bars of that piece. I'd also like some recommendations for other pieces if anyone could provide those. Thank you.
The whole thing is miracolous, maybe it's the awful recording, interpretation, and sound volume that don't allow you to feel this unique piece of music. You should hear it live. Or hear a great recording of it in full volume. To me the most touching part is the recordare, the introus, the rex tremendae when all the choir comes in. To me and many people this is the most emotionally expressive, devastating and at the same time terrifiyng musical experience of all. Nothing is more powerful in my opinion, after this i would choose Beethoven, some Bach pieces. But this is the closest thing to heaven, perfection, ideal world, god whatever you wanna call it, the sublime or transcendent experience. It's almost a religious experience through music. It happenned to me many times, thats why i don't listen to it often and in any regular occassion, sometines it's too much to take, too much existential burden, because it reminds us of the fear of death and and the human suffering, of ourselves and those who came before.

It is an undeniable reality that the Universe as it exists is such, that something this beautiful can exist. It is the very existence of such beauty, not the human accomplishment of crafting it out of the materials at hand, that makes some people, when they experience this music, wonder aloud whether there might be a God, after all. And really -- it's such both ways. We doubt God when the Universe seems particularly ugly to us. In the face of disease, war, death, and ruin. We praise God when the Universe seems particularly beautiful to us. But this, this Requiem is sublime. Because here, Mozart & Süßmayr have taken the reality of death and shaped its horror into a thing of unspeakable beauty. And so we think to ourselves: if *this* is what Death means, then where has that ugliness gone, that made us curse God? We allow ourselves again to wonder: in a Universe composed with such dissonance, how satisfying must the resolution be? And we realize that this resolution, while perhaps not certain, is at least possible. We allow ourselves to be humble, once again, before our own ignorance and the limits of our perspective. Because it is pride that stands before the face of suffering and says: I know all there is to know about this, I can learn nothing from this, nothing good may come of this, and it is no longer worth living in the face of this. How untrue all of these things have proved to be, about even enormous sorrows and profound sufferings!
If you die and hear this music you know you have made it to heaven........ God created Mozart for his own listening pleasure, hope your soul rose from your paupers grave Mozart straight up to heaven. This you deserve for uplifting millions with your music ......
That's the joke though. I hate explaining jokes but here goes. In Amadeus the emperor says "too many notes" in this requiem there are not enough notes because it's only an unfinished sketch.
Mozart apparently was approach’d by Count Walsegg Von Stupoach through his ‘Dracula-like’ lawyer Sortschen on the 1st or 2nd of August 1791 with Scrittura in hand for a Requiem for 50 Dukaten ‘to be perform’d by 14 Feb 1792’ (the anniversary of his 20-year old wife’s death earlier in the year.) M. explain’d to Sortschen that he was given another Scrittura from the Bohemian Estates in Prague for a Coronation Opera for Leopold II to be perform’d on the 6th of September that year (he was finally given the contract for 200 Dukaten on 22 July 1791 by the impresario Guardasoni in person after approaching Salieri no less than 3 times the week before) and that his Singspiel for Schicaneder was also in need of last minute touch ups before 30 September - so that the earliest he could start would be 1 October 1791-which is approx the date of the 12-staff Berlin skizze scribbles fragment discover’d in 1960 (2 staff lines have since been removed at the bottom) shewing pieces of the Overtura to Die Zauberfloete & a snippet of the Rex Tremendae along with a 4 part 16-bar incipit of an Amen Fugue in d-minor in 3/8 time to follow the Lacrymosa...Suessmayr (who later completed Mozart’s unfinish’d fragment as best he could by 4 March 1792 bas’d on fragments like the Berlin Sketch and from hearing M. playing to him the end of the Lacrymosa, the Sanctus/Benedictus/Hossanas & Agnus Dei sections in November when he was still able to work (he fell ill on 20 Nov 1791 & probably did not commit much to writing after that-he got as far as the Lacrymosa bar 8-although he had already more or less finish’d the Domine Jesu & Hostias movements (with the qual olim fugato) sometime earlier -presumably the Lacrymosa caus’d him some pains - in rehearsing the vocal performances parts with his friends Gerl & Schak he broke down (c. 3pm on 4 Dec 1791) in sobs & ask’d to be left alone with Suessmayr so he could guide him in the orchestration if he should die (& leave Constanza with the task of getting it completed)...before he fell into his final coma, his sister in law Sophie Haibl remember’d seeing M. puffing out his cheeks emulating Trumpets & Drums explaining to Suessmayr the recapitulation of the Lacrymosa’s main theme ‘fortissimo’ for the reprise of the words ‘Lacrymosa ! Dies Illa !’ which Suessmayr illogically set to the words ‘Dona ! Eis ! Requi ! Em !’ (surely not Mozart’s intention) & ignoring the fugal Amen Sketch & tacking on a tasteless Plagal Cadence (‘Amen !’) in D-major...fortunately there are a number of competent modern musicologists who have at least attempted to complete the d-minor fugue (e.g. Maunder, Levin etal.) with somewhat mix’d success - we will leave it to future generations of AI computeris’d composers to tease out a workable completion now that the Age of Aquarius (Mozart’s sun-sign) has finally arriv’d-in the meantime we have in this torso fragment some of the greatest examples of Western Art Music in all history ...
@@xyz.ijk. - There is an excellent overview out in a Revis’d English version publish’d in 1999 by the great German Musicologist Christoff Wolff (‘Mozart’s Requiem : Historical And Analytical Studies , Documents, Score’ which I believe is available through Amazon - it is a MUST READ for any serious student of Mozart’s Requiem to get a Firm overview of the most relevant material pertaining to the facts as we now know them-and some insightful ‘educated guesses’ about Suessmayr’s & Joseph Eybler’s involvement in the completion - hope this helps ! You can respond here on this threadlet also for any other background in case your cloudy on any of it & I will be happy to respond !!!
Not trying to be mean to Süßmarr or maybe it's just my bias but I really can hear a difference in engagement and quality after Mozarts composition ends.
Actually, Mozart wrote a lot less than people think. Check this out to hear Mozart's unfinished version. ua-cam.com/video/M_0wBTkkT7U/v-deo.html He wrote the melodies for the Lacrimosa and everything beforehand, but did not write all the parts, which Sussmayr completed. The Agnus Dei was completely written by Sussmayr.
@@pseunition6038 30 minutes worth of music by Mozart is actually more than the average person thinks he wrote. And he provided the parts that most people are consciously listening to like the melody in the first violins and the choir parts, soloists, and the figured bass even in movements after the Lacrimosa. Sussmayr simply filled in the inner orchestral parts that were missing(and his voice leading and transposition errors still had to be corrected by other composers).
What I find sad is that Mozart died just when he was finally breaking out of his simpler Style Galant phase, partly due to his discovery of Bach's music when Mozart was 25 or so. Imagine if he had lived to 50 or 60!
took words out of my mouth... i feel the same
Mozart had been writing polyphonic music both before and after he discovered Bach's music. He learned it from the religious music he was exposed to as a child in Salzburg which composers there called the "stile antico" and further from his counterpoint studies with Padre Martini. Perhaps there's a more noticeable effort to include longer episodes of fugal counterpoint in his works around the time he wrote k.387, but counterpoint is is still present even in his earlier works, especially the sacred music.
Only 35 when he died... most people are just getting started at 35.
Before encountering Bach in 1781, Mozart's contrapuntal writing was inspired by the Salzburg masters, Johann Ernst Eberlin, Leopold Mozart, Michael Haydn and his childhood teacher Padre Martini of Bologna, and Fux's Gradus ad parnassum (published in 1725).

That every note seems to be placed with such elegance and care. That he couldn't have imagined it to be better if anything changed.
You'd probably reply to a love letter that writes: "I will love you forever" that this is IMPOSSIBLE because the author would die at some point and hence would stop loving.

I love him. His music is just heavenly, brilliant and beautiful. I never knew a human being so spiritual and close to Godliness. He is God's gift to the music world. There is so much depth and emotion. I think he is more than genius. I love him.
I had the honor to sing in a choir and with Haendel´s Messiah this Requiem it is the top, and sincerely I also think Mozart was, is, and will be the best God´s musical gift for mankind.
The Requiem of Mozart is a true treasure to the testament of humanity! To even think that Mozart passed away after composing till 22:59 but had drafted the Lacrimosa movement is stunning! I once read a story about the day of the Requiem - "On the very eve of his death, [Mozart] had the score of the Requiem brought to his bed, and himself (it was two o'clock in the afternoon) sang the alto part; Schack, the family friend, sang the soprano line, as he had always previously done, Hofer, Mozart's brother-in-law, took the tenor, Gerl, later a bass singer at the Mannheim Theater, the bass. They were at the first bars of the Lacrimosa when Mozart began to weep bitterly, laid the score on one side, and eleven hours later, at one o'clock in the morning (of 5 December 1791, as is well known), departed this life." (from the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung news "magazine") I love this piece! Thank you so much for sharing!
If God allows me to be in heaven, I want Mozart's music to surround me.
I believe in God myself but the point I want to make here is I really do 'feel something' when I listen to Mozart's music like this... what a brilliant requiem and composer, it seems like he connected with a higher power, to me at least.
What do you mean if “God Allows” you? You can know for certain right now on Earth by accepting Christ and working every day to make the world a better place of good and peace. Not trying to be preachy but that’s the truth.
@gary Kaczmar according to the NDE experiences, in heaven there is a music so beautiful and perfect that no human music can minimally approach to it...
JGC and Aleksander, Catholics believe that God gives you the sanctifying grace to reach heaven as a gift of your baptism, but it can be lost through mortal sin. You then regain the sanctifying grace of God by repenting, feeling sorry for your sins, and confessing them to a priest who absolves you (as is prescribed by Christ in the Gospel of John 20:23). It is, in the end, God who decides whether or not you go to heaven when you are judged by Christ - both perfectly just and perfectly merciful. This is probably what Gary is getting at, saying "if God lets me" is a way of being humble before the awesome power of God.
Please everyone pray for me, I will try to remember to pray for you.
May God bless you and have mercy on the soul of Herr Mozart.

Such a magnificent work of art. I can't even imagine how this work could be even better but we all know if Mozart lived to complete it, he'd have found a way! Amazing recording. Gardiner has a way with interpretation.
Yes, and at times startlingly bizarre - some wildly exaggerated changes in dynamics and choral articulation at times. I have always admired Jiggy's work, but not (I fear) his ways with Süssmayer & Mozart.

My father and I heard Mozart's Requiem at Grant Park in Chicago. They put free concerts there during the summers. It was quite a privilege.

Wolfie played his Viola and directed at the same time. I studied a ton of his work in college looking for his Viola concertos. He played them often with his orchestra but not a single Viola concerto exists. I postulated that Viola solos were not big sellers then as now and a severe shortage of toilet paper...
He played any one of his French Horn, Bassoon, Clarinet and Violin concerti at any given time, he just always called it his, Viola concerto.
I'm agnostic almost atheist but Mozart truly makes me wonder if there is a god, how can a mere human compose such beautiful sounding music is beyond my comprehension.
shadowjuan2 If a classical composer makes you wonder about god then you are really weak minded.
I roll my eyes everytime I read a comment like this. We have no trouble saying humans are evil scum when we do bad things but when we so very rarely actually bring something beautiful in this world like this music, we give the glory to a fictitious being called ''god''.
This song (Requiem - Rest) was made by Mozart, and he dedicated it fully to God and the catolic liturgical traditions. You just said that you appreciated a song which all the time worship someone that for you is "fictitious", but for the composer is FACT! Curiously confused from you. I can't understand why are you reclaiming about people that recognize the esential message in this song and don't follow your atheist nihilist view. If you felt someting beautiful that made you feel good, so you have to thanks to Mozart and his afflatus.
Just food for thought. If there is no being who transcends our laws of the universe and is absolutely true, perfectly good, and beautiful, then how can there be absolute truth, good, and beauty in this world?
So therefore, I assume you did not think it was wrong for Nikolas Cruz to shoot the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, since in his eyes it was "good". According to your definition of good, why would it be wrong for me to rob your house? Certainly, to rob your house and gain wealth from it would be good for me! Natural selection would be playing out, since I am taking your resources for myself. Maybe I would take your wife, so I could breed more children. Do you see why this doesn't work? In every culture all around the globe, murder of the innocent is wrong. Why? You cannot answer that without acknowledging the existence of God.

Some people emphasize the fact that Mozart died leaving the requiem unfinished, and that it was finished by other composers. The fact is, 2/3 of the requiem was finished by Mozart. (ua-cam.com/video/M_0wBTkkT7U/v-deo.html)
And Sussmayer and others used material from Mozart's earlier masses to finish the requiem.

Thank you so much!!
Pas si sur
Bach and Mozart are the composer i like most.I admit to hear most Bach.But this and the magic flute and g-moll sinfonie are really absolute master works.
Após ouvir o Requiem, consegui perceber a grandeza e a dimensão da obra de Mozart no planeta 🌎
I would say this is probably by favourite piece of music of all time. I often find myself enjoying masses and requiems, although I do not adhere to the faith of Christianity, mainly as a result of the beauty of the juxtaposition of orchestra and choir. And there are great pieces in this category, such as Bach's Mass and Handel's "Messiah," but absolutely nothing approaches the emotional depth of this masterpiece. Every single movement is incredible in its own right, but if I had to chose the three best in my opinion, they would be the famous "Dies Irae," of course, "Confutatis maledictis" and "Domine Jesu Christe." Thank you for uploading!
I'm sheltering in place due to corona virus. As of 3/27/20 650 thousands of people infected, over 30 thousands dead and no end in sight. Gyms, theaters, concert halls, movies, sport events are shut down and we are not supposed to congregate. Mozart and especially this requiem makes isolation livable. He is a true genius.
Quanto può essere grande l'anima dell'uomo e nello stesso tempo quali abissi, obnubilato, può raggiungere.
tThe greatest art is when the artist makes the utterly most tragic to feel good and enjoyable . I think I must have fallen in love with Mozart in forever
I'm stunned with Domine Jesu part, fugue Quam Olim Abrahae - genius
Thank you for uploading this! It is making learning the alto solo much easier! ❤
Mozart's Requiem is the Symphony of Death and Life! It symbolizes the judgement that God has in store for us all! To compose such a momentum work must be the work of a genius and that genius was God sent! The Requiem is one of the best orchestral masterpieces of all time!
Thank you again for an incredible recording mated with a wonderfully synced vocal score. These are invaluable when I'm listening at work and trying to learn the music.
2:50 is so beautiful
Fantástico! Este Requiem em ré menor das melhores execuções de Mozart!

Just a quick correction, the solo tenor that participated in this specific recording was Anthony Rolfe Johnson (1940-2010) and the solo bass was Alastair Miles.
After hearing only a few lines, I could tell this is an excellent orchestra/choir.
Really? 😂
great combination of singers! love Bonney! but this tempo seemed a bit fast
GREAT so very wondrous! & he died so young!!! So fun to have the notes too!
Mozart is the best compositor! Requiem is my favourite composition
This is the one piece Chopin requested to be played at his funeral in 1849. Some churches didn't allow females to sing, so when they did for this piece they had to be hidden behind a curtain
Absolutely the bestest performance! The interpretation and articulation are absolutely brilliant!!
Please her the performance with Leonard Bernstein, it is absolute breathtaking. Especially the Lacrimosa - very flat here and without impression. Sorry to contradict you.
Süßmayr did a great job to finish worthily such a masterly requiem of such a master!
Wrong! Sussmayr stole the entire Requiem and passed off most of it as his own.
@@DanielFahimi you may be right, but there is no evidence in literature 👍
@@MusiExplora There is 100% proof. If you are intrested, tell me.
@@DanielFahimi I'm actually very interested.
@@FrostDirt It was a troll and you fell for it lmao
Close to godliness! The best music ever written along with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
+Lorenzo De Angeli I'm rather partial to Mozart's Great Mass in C minor, but this piece follows not far behind :)
olla-vogala Too right!
Lorenzo De Angeli You’re discounting Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis.
I think also Bach St. Matthew Passion and Mahler's 9th Symphony and Scriabin's Poéme de l'Extase deserve that title 😉
Lorenzo De Angeli Nah, Ive heard better symphonies than Beethoven’s fifth
Consigned to flames of War. Do you believe in it? A fire which Never Dies burning you forever? Oh yes.
19:02 I remembered this in Amadeus.
Have you seen it here? ua-cam.com/video/UMwaiA581AQ/v-deo.html
@@abimaelmello493 yes
A brilliant scene. But sadly totally fictional. And by that I not simply mean that Salieri never had any hand in this, but rather that the parts that Mozart tells him to write down in that scene, are not parts of the fragments that Mozart left behind when he died. These are already Süssmayrs additions.
Quotenwagnerianer who cares if it’s fictional anymore, it’s just a movie and maybe some scenes may have been added that aren’t accurate to history but it’s art regardless. Does something need to be accurate to be art? We don’t even know what truly happened, we weren’t there to truly see.
I watched the movie a few days ago! and i searched for this part! Thank you so much :)!
Happy 266th Birthday, Mozart! 1/27/22 🎉🥳
Although the accompaniment is only a piano reduction, this is still very well done. Thanks for uploading!
Re comments on speed, I guess its as much a matter of what you're used to as anything else. Have known this particular recording since it was first issued and am very happy with the tempo.
For anyone wondering, anything up to the "Offertorium" can be considered authentic mozart. After that, it gets greyer and greyer.
Ending Lacrimosa on a plagal cadence rather than a fugue was a huge missed opportunity for Süßmayr. So many modern completions used an Amen fugue discovered in the 60s.
Perfect rendition and performances.
The most badass introductory classical piece - rivalling Bach's St John passion intro and Beethoven's 5th -- is the double fugue at 4:44
20:20 The most beautiful moment in my opinion
And to think he died before he could ever finish this. Could you imagine what it would have been if he did?
I especially cry knowing he only wrote the first 8 bars of Lacrimosa and then nothing else. It's sublime as it is, but what it could have been had Mozart finished, or at least sketched it... The rest was added, first by Eybler, and then completed by Sussmayr in 1792. It was Sussmayr, and not Mozart, who wrote the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, although it's said that with Mozart's notes and directions.
Mozart left the essence, in sum. A very sublime, exquisite skeleton on which others, since his death, have only made versions of. Very beautiful versions, nonetheless.
I read once, that Mozart wept when we realized that "Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla: judicandus homo reus" was the last text he would ever set to music.
"Tearful is that day, which shall rise from the ashes: guilty man is to be judged..."
The first 8 bars of Lacrimosa isn’t actually all that Mozart wrote, he also wrote sketches and fragments for the Offertorium section that comes after.
In fact, the actual last thing he ever wrote on the Requiem was at the end of the Hostias, which is final movement of the Offertorium.
There is even evidence that he wrote tiny fragments of the Agnus Dei, which comes several movements after the Offertorium.
Listen to KV1 then listen to this. It will make you cry. In a good way.
amei as partituras!!!! obrigada!!! viva Mozart!!!
This is Mozarts farvell to the life,I recomand all music lover to listen to the Genius Mozarts last living message to the world….
very instructive video score. my deepest thanks.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one I hope it's a place where I can meet mozart and get to sing his requiem as he intended it to be finished! don't get me wrong, I love it how we know it, and have performed it so many times I've lost count (sometimes at funerals) but I would love to know the entirety of Mozart's vision!
Perfect Interpretation, thanks!
obrigado por essa linda e magnífica publicação
Como é bom p o espírito
i know domine jesu was not written by mozart at all -seeing that he died before even finished lacrimosa- but let me tell you.... its absolutely heavenly!
He did write sketches of the domine jesu, despite not finishing his draft of the lacrimosa
Mozart actually did write the Domine Jesu and Hostias. Either he skipped over the majority of the Lacrimosa or (more likely) wrote the Domine Jesu and Hostias earlier, then went back and wrote up until the Lacrimosa.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't get what's so good about this. Like, it's good, don't get me wrong, but I don't understand why everyone is claiming that God was speaking through Mozart with this piece or that Mozart was God's gift to music or whatever. It just doesn't hit me.
I'll admit I'm not even one for classical music, but as music composition is my goal, I wanted to look into the classical side of music and step out of my comfort zone. After playing FGO, Salieri's design and backstory caught my eye and he quickly became my favorite servant. I wanted to learn more about him, so I listened to his Requiem and I love that. It hits me the way I think this piece hits other people. Could someone please point out the parts they find particularly touching? There are some parts I really like, such as the Lacrimosa, but apparently Mozart only wrote the 1st 8 bars of that piece. I'd also like some recommendations for other pieces if anyone could provide those. Thank you.
The whole thing is miracolous, maybe it's the awful recording, interpretation, and sound volume that don't allow you to feel this unique piece of music.
You should hear it live.
Or hear a great recording of it in full volume.
To me the most touching part is the recordare, the introus, the rex tremendae when all the choir comes in. To me and many people this is the most emotionally expressive, devastating and at the same time terrifiyng musical experience of all.
Nothing is more powerful in my opinion, after this i would choose Beethoven, some Bach pieces. But this is the closest thing to heaven, perfection, ideal world, god whatever you wanna call it, the sublime or transcendent experience. It's almost a religious experience through music. It happenned to me many times, thats why i don't listen to it often and in any regular occassion, sometines it's too much to take, too much existential burden, because it reminds us of the fear of death and and the human suffering, of ourselves and those who came before.
De todos los Requiem que he escuchado, el de Mozart sigue siendo insuperable...

Delightful!
Every time the music comes near to the end of the page, I keep instinctively lifting my hand to turn the page.
rex tremende and lacrimosa will forever be my fav part of the requiem
It is an undeniable reality that the Universe as it exists is such, that something this beautiful can exist.
It is the very existence of such beauty, not the human accomplishment of crafting it out of the materials at hand, that makes some people, when they experience this music, wonder aloud whether there might be a God, after all.
And really -- it's such both ways. We doubt God when the Universe seems particularly ugly to us. In the face of disease, war, death, and ruin. We praise God when the Universe seems particularly beautiful to us.
But this, this Requiem is sublime. Because here, Mozart & Süßmayr have taken the reality of death and shaped its horror into a thing of unspeakable beauty. And so we think to ourselves: if *this* is what Death means, then where has that ugliness gone, that made us curse God? We allow ourselves again to wonder: in a Universe composed with such dissonance, how satisfying must the resolution be? And we realize that this resolution, while perhaps not certain, is at least possible. We allow ourselves to be humble, once again, before our own ignorance and the limits of our perspective.
Because it is pride that stands before the face of suffering and says: I know all there is to know about this, I can learn nothing from this, nothing good may come of this, and it is no longer worth living in the face of this. How untrue all of these things have proved to be, about even enormous sorrows and profound sufferings!

@@timward276 that must have been amazing
Ah Mozart! Not enough notes!!!
That's the joke though. I hate explaining jokes but here goes. In Amadeus the emperor says "too many notes" in this requiem there are not enough notes because it's only an unfinished sketch.
Semplicemente Sublime ❤
I agree, well said. We can but imagine...
Mozart apparently was approach’d by Count Walsegg Von Stupoach through his ‘Dracula-like’ lawyer Sortschen on the 1st or 2nd of August 1791 with Scrittura in hand for a Requiem for 50 Dukaten ‘to be perform’d by 14 Feb 1792’ (the anniversary of his 20-year old wife’s death earlier in the year.) M. explain’d to Sortschen that he was given another Scrittura from the Bohemian Estates in Prague for a Coronation Opera for Leopold II to be perform’d on the 6th of September that year (he was finally given the contract for 200 Dukaten on 22 July 1791 by the impresario Guardasoni in person after approaching Salieri no less than 3 times the week before) and that his Singspiel for Schicaneder was also in need of last minute touch ups before 30 September - so that the earliest he could start would be 1 October 1791-which is approx the date of the 12-staff Berlin skizze scribbles fragment discover’d in 1960 (2 staff lines have since been removed at the bottom) shewing pieces of the Overtura to Die Zauberfloete & a snippet of the Rex Tremendae along with a 4 part 16-bar incipit of an Amen Fugue in d-minor in 3/8 time to follow the Lacrymosa...Suessmayr (who later completed Mozart’s unfinish’d fragment as best he could by 4 March 1792 bas’d on fragments like the Berlin Sketch and from hearing M. playing to him the end of the Lacrymosa, the Sanctus/Benedictus/Hossanas & Agnus Dei sections in November when he was still able to work (he fell ill on 20 Nov 1791 & probably did not commit much to writing after that-he got as far as the Lacrymosa bar 8-although he had already more or less finish’d the Domine Jesu & Hostias movements (with the qual olim fugato) sometime earlier -presumably the Lacrymosa caus’d him some pains - in rehearsing the vocal performances parts with his friends Gerl & Schak he broke down (c. 3pm on 4 Dec 1791) in sobs & ask’d to be left alone with Suessmayr so he could guide him in the orchestration if he should die (& leave Constanza with the task of getting it completed)...before he fell into his final coma, his sister in law Sophie Haibl remember’d seeing M. puffing out his cheeks emulating Trumpets & Drums explaining to Suessmayr the recapitulation of the Lacrymosa’s main theme ‘fortissimo’ for the reprise of the words ‘Lacrymosa ! Dies Illa !’ which Suessmayr illogically set to the words ‘Dona ! Eis ! Requi ! Em !’ (surely not Mozart’s intention) & ignoring the fugal Amen Sketch & tacking on a tasteless Plagal Cadence (‘Amen !’) in D-major...fortunately there are a number of competent modern musicologists who have at least attempted to complete the d-minor fugue (e.g. Maunder, Levin etal.) with somewhat mix’d success - we will leave it to future generations of AI computeris’d composers to tease out a workable completion now that the Age of Aquarius (Mozart’s sun-sign) has finally arriv’d-in the meantime we have in this torso fragment some of the greatest examples of Western Art Music in all history ...
Would like to learn more about this... can you share sourcing or more of your knowledge? Thank you for this!

DANKE!!
Not trying to be mean to Süßmarr or maybe it's just my bias but I really can hear a difference in engagement and quality after Mozarts composition ends.
Actually, Mozart wrote a lot less than people think. Check this out to hear Mozart's unfinished version. ua-cam.com/video/M_0wBTkkT7U/v-deo.html
He wrote the melodies for the Lacrimosa and everything beforehand, but did not write all the parts, which Sussmayr completed. The Agnus Dei was completely written by Sussmayr.
@@pseunition6038 30 minutes worth of music by Mozart is actually more than the average person thinks he wrote. And he provided the parts that most people are consciously listening to like the melody in the first violins and the choir parts, soloists, and the figured bass even in movements after the Lacrimosa. Sussmayr simply filled in the inner orchestral parts that were missing(and his voice leading and transposition errors still had to be corrected by other composers).
I looked high and low for this and finally now is it mine! 😈 muhahahaha!
Siento gran emoción, vibro más alto, creo que nunca aprenderé a interpretar esta obra majestuosa.
