    So, Laudato si is ancient italian, while ad astra is latin. So the pronunciation you heard is correct. Laudato si is an ancient canticle written by Saint Francis of Assisi, and is the first canticle found written in italian insteed latin.
    The soprano voice singing this part is obviously Floor.
    The mail voice is Troy, and the girl reading the Romeo and Juliet part is Johanna, Tuomas wife.

    They came to my hometown and played twice in three days. I happened to be in both shows and on the first show (a "secret" small clubshow by the name "Nevski Prospekt") they played this song. I think it probably was the first time in front of an actual audience. It was mindblowing. There is some quite OK quality UA-cam videos available if someone wants to see this played live.

    Told you that you would like this one, going back to your first Nightwish reaction.
    A few things: That's Floor singing at the end. Note the richness and power of her contralto range considering that she is a soprano. Ditch the silly GIFs, you don't need them. They're a distraction. Your expertise is sufficient. Silly GIFs are used by reactors who have nothing to say.
    "Laudato Si" is the opening words from a prayer by St Francis of Assis and also from an encyclical by Pope Francis. The original prayer by St. Francis is very much a prayer for the natural world. There is some discussion as to whether or not the Italian or the Latin pronunciation is to be used here, so take it as is. Just know that the choice would be deliberate. Of course, the Latin pronunciation is a dodgy thing as there are no native Latin speakers around today to correct us.

    What is "Laudato Si"?
    The Canticle of the Creatures, written by St. Francis of Assisi. This hymn, was written during the transition period in the development of the Italian language from Latin, and is the earliest known vernacular literature written in the Umbrian dialect of Italian.
    There are three sections to the Canticle:
    A praise to God for His creations such as "Brother Sun", "Sister Moon", "Brother Wind", "Sister Water"
    This section of the Canticle was written at the end of St. Francis's life (1224) as he was recovering from an illness with St. Claire and the Poor Sisters in San Damiano. At this point in his life, St. Francis was almost completely blind, and yet through his suffering, he composed this song of praise of God for all the wonders of creation.
    A praise for those who forgive for the love of God and who endure trials in peace.
    The second part of the Canticle was composed when Francis reconciled the bishop and the podestá (Chief Magistrate) of Assisi. He sent his friars to sing the first part of the canticle in front of them which led to their reconciliation.
    A praise for "Sister Bodily Death", and to those "whom death will find in Your most holy will"

    “Laudato si” is from a poem by Saint Francis of Assisi:
    “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” - “Praise be to you, my Lord”. It is not Classical Latin but vulgar latin on it’s way to become the Italian language.
    Ad Astra is Classical Latin, an adhortation: to the stars!

    "Shoemaker" has become a favorite song of NASA's scientific community. Tuomas has a deep inclination towards science and this is reflected in many of his plays. This ensured the entry of Nightwish into the history books of science, several discoveries in the field being named after them. These new discoveries include: Alpenglow Rockshelter: Archaeological site named after Nightwish Song. Tanidromites Nightwishorun: New Crab species. Sciophila Holopaineni: New species of Mosquito found in Finland. Ophiomitrella Floorae: New species of Cretaceous brittle star named after Floor Jansen. Tmesisternus floorjansenae: new species of beetle named after Floor.

    This song was floors greatest challenge. It was also a challenge for the guitarist Empu. The chops follow the snare drum and he had to be right on it. Nightwish went far and beyond with this album. The talent in this band is no secret. This song in my opinion is one of the most deeply felt and challenging songs they have ever done. I am a guitarist of over 40 yrs and can say that the work done here is stunning! I can riff but this was difficult to learn and play along with. It is a masterpiece that the band should be very proud of.

      I seriously wonder why that would be interesting. Would it be worse if that last part isn't typical operatic, or classic? Would it make the song better if it is?
      I'm not asking because I want to be rude, or to make a bold statement, but in my opinion there are too many experts telling us how things are 'supposed to be'. And there's no such thing. The only thing that matters is "how does the song and how do the vocals make you feel?"
      I have a musical background myself (I studied jazz guitar at the conservatory of music). On a personal level the jazz guys could get along really well with the classical guys, but we were worlds apart when it came to playing music. Now that's jazz and classical. But every genre of music needs a different approach to certain things. And even then it's not written in stone.
      So...., I was just wondering. 😊

    I knew this would blow you away!
    The place where Eugene's urn is buried by impact is very close to the lunar south pole, in the bottom of the crater which bears his name. It is deep enough to be in eternal shade from the sun, yet the earth moves up and down on the horizon, hence "in eternal earthrise".
    The passage from Romeo and Juliet was inscribed on the brass-foil plaque on the urn, along with his name, dates, and images of the Hale=Bop comet (the last he viewed with his wife and which was still visible to the naked eye at the time of his death) and the Berringer crater - the subject of his doctoral thesis.
    He was to have been the first civilian to set foot on the moon but was diagnosed with Addison's disease during his astronaut training, which he still completed to avoid disrupting the team he was training with. He went on to train another group despite knowing that he would never be able to go himself, which he described as the greatest disappointment of his life.
    He is the only person to be buried on any celestial body other than the earth.
    The solo male voice, by the way, is Troy.
    After many attempts in the studio, and despite the rest of the band being satisfied, Floor still felt she could do better.
    Relaxing at home she decided to try and was finally satisfied. She sent the recording from her home studio to Tuomas and that session is what was used in the final mix.
    They originally said they would not be including it in any setlist for live shows, but popular demand meant that we heard it in the virtual live show.
    The language at the end is actually ancient Italian, rather than Latin.
    It is a bit tough finding any true native speakers of either to guide pronunciation though.

    Hallo Maggie Renee
    I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here.
    She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have a daughter. ( Freja )
    Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (D3 to F6). [6] Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.
    Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
    From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
    Greetings from the Netherlands.

    Oh, BTW - I don't know how much Latin Floor knows (I mean, she's Dutch and is fluent in both English and Swedish), but I think I heard the backing choir pronouncing a plosive "t" in "laudate". And, if memory serves, Nightwish collaborate with the London Symphony Chorus, so if Floor's pronunciation is wrong, she's at least in good company.

    Insanely difficult piece to sing as you now well know. I had years of vocal training and the first time I heard this I said she'd she'd never do it as part of a rotation on tour. Amazingly she has done it a couple times already out of the 4 or 5 shows they've done since.

    a couple of comments here correctly (almost) name the male singer Troy, who performs it live with Floor--however, the lyric video you just listened to has 3 parts, with the male *voices* being sung by Marco AND Troy, before Marco left the band (Troy is the lower baritone, and Marco is the higher tenor, in this recording).

    Oh. React to the Ayreon opera. Find Valley of the queens and The Day that the world brakes down. Ayreon is a sci-fi opera project where the composer invites top musicians, notably singers from the symphonic metal genre. Floor Jansen is among them, but also her sister Irene and Anneke van Giersbergen. Male giants are Damian Wilson and Michael Mills with his incredible vocal range.

    • @edwardpaulsen1074
      @edwardpaulsen1074 3 роки тому +2

      I agree that the "extra" gifs were almost annoying... they detracted from your reaction and all because attention was always being dragged away by some unnecessary new pop up on the screen that once recognized as "superfluous", made it rather more difficult to resume... It was like reading a really good book while being pestered by a five year old yelling "Look at me!!" In contrast, the truly informational pop ups were up far too short to actually read while trying to keep track of everything else...
      I, personally, prefer the older format where pop ups only occurred occasionally and were both informative, and illustrative of something that needed further presentation... also the occasional "Shooketh" or emoticon for a particularly strong moment was acceptable. We LOVE you for the way you are... don't get lost in trying to add more "decoration". Please?

Having no country to call their own, the Edema Ruh are travelers and entertainers with talents ranging far and wide, but most commonly involving storytelling, acting, and music.

    The way I see it: at 07:45 the Laudato si... etc is sung by Floor indubitably. It is in classical Latin. The pronunciation you hear on Google translate is indeed in Italian, a direct descendant of Classical Latin (amongst other languages eg : French, Spanish, Romanian, Catalan and some other I do not know by heart). And indeed the "t" in Laudato is "weak" and yes dentalizing it would be perfect. I alway blame these mispronunciations on the fact that Dutch, the mother tongue of Floor, is of Germanic origin. Great reaction! Subscribed!

    @edwardpaulsen1074 3 роки тому

    For me, the Laudato Si is the root for Laudatory (yes) and either way means "be praised" although the pronunciation is slightly different for each... I believe this is an artistic license thing to slightly increase the recognition factor for a worldwide audience that may be more familiar laudatory "sound" rather then specific Italian pronunciation... Not enough to crab about in my opinion.

    Hello Miss Maggie,
    "Shoemaker" is one of the most beautiful and powerful song of Nightwish : the end is so magical...
    you can try other great singers (vocals) : Therion - the live gothic in 2007, with the song "Rise of Sodom And Gomorrah" or (my favourite) Perennial Sophia (a beautiful duet).
    Next singer, you should listen to, because she is amazing (she's like a little fairy to me), is Miss Maria Franz, and she's deserve a video :
    the singer of Euzen, Heilung and Songleikr (more viking and shamanic vibes) :
    "Maria vocals - LIFA" - Heilung - this video is a mix of the LIFA concert in CastelFest - it was the first time they played in front of an audience together - this concert was rewarded in Europe...
    I really love this song : "Ulvetime" - Songleikr - translation : the wolves time, (even my husband hear the "Ahou-Ahouuuuuu" at night)
    or the very emotional : "Cruel all by myself " - Euzen live Castelfest
    Take care of you :)

      Also, I have mixed feelings about the gif-space. It's a nice little bit of uniqueness that other channels don't have, but it can also be slightly distracting for people with ADD/ADHD like myself. At the end of the day, I think it's good to try new things and new formats, and sometimes it takes a bit to really get them to where you want them to be, and sometimes they never quite get there. It's very subjective, so the most important thing is just to try new things until you find what works for you. I think the gif-space is a great iteration of that process, and it could end up being great with a bit of tweaking.
