Ich würde auch gern von Arielle meinen Kaffee ans Bett bekommen und mit den Elfen durch den Wald tanzen aber leider machen wir Menschen diese Welt zu einem Alptraum mit nur wenigen Momenten wie diesen, die einem Satz wie meinem auch ohne Sinnhaftigkeit genügend epische vibes mitgeben xD der Satz endet am besten beim Applaus
OmG! Ich bin schon so nah am abtreten! Einmal, nur einmal möchte ich so etwas noch live erleben! Was für ein Kunstgenuß...ohne Kommerz, rein aus dem Bedürfnis und Herzem!!!
I would happily miss my train to catch this instead. Those opening women's voices are superb. Whoever put this together deserves an award. Thank you so much, all who participated,
Flash mobs are one of the rare evolutionary social movements of the 2000s that are totally healing, and always a net positive for society. They bring us together, completely, for a precious few heavenly moments. They lift us out of the maelstrom, up above the clouds of anxiety where we can peer, for a brief moment, into the infinite distance of joy. This brought back a lot of memories for me, because I sang in the chorus of Carmina Burana when I was in high school in the ‘70s.
".....Flash mobs are one of the rare evolutionary social movements of the 2000s that are totally healing, and always a net positive for society....." MUSICAL flashmobs, yes, definitely. But there are also criminal flashmobs coordinated by cellphones, in which a whole neighborhood of bad kids go into one store - then all shoplift stuff, run out simultaneously, and beat up anyone who tries to stop them. Those are not positive. Not at all.
In my life I've been in hundreds, if not thousands, of shopping malls, outdoor plazas, and transportation centers. Not ONCE has a flash mob like this broken out while I was there. I feel cheated by life :-(
Try keeping an eye on the forums and websites of the artistic and organizational groups in your area. And I don't just mean colleges and universities; You'll get word ahead of time...
Epic Moments-- I agree with jwphoto. I would love to see it in small towns and villages too. Music is the great equalizer. "And hath charms to soothe the savage beast."
I truly hope that the events return once Covid is declared no longer a pandemic. The years we’ve spent worried, unable to fully participate in large groups, have had a toll on many. Flash mobs have many benefits for the groups (often young talented musicians who learn precision & additional timing, from this style & get exposure to performing for large crowds, the hours planning & rehearsing build cooperation, highlight some but usually all the performers, building trust & I imagine they are fun & then exciting & satisfactions of a job well done & much more I am sure). The film crew, the editors who often also are young & learning are gaining great experiences. Rarely do members of the public not stop to witness some or all of the performance - reminding us to take time to enjoy life amid the hustle & bustle. The joy is always evident. Often voices join in or people dance. Over all a very positive experience, all round. Can you tell that I am a huge fan? This mob was exceptional, thanks for sharing their performance with the world.

Life without music is a very empty life. We need music to make our heart lighter, to take pressure of it, being united with people all over the world. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hard to type this as I am crying. My daughter died 7 months ago. This is my favorite piece of music. Thank you to all the people who make things this inspiring and beautiful, this is what we are all about as one people, now that we are free again, let's begin again.
I cannot fathom a heartbreak or an injustice any greater than what you suffered. On some level, I feel I know how this could speak to you. Sending all my love from Niagara Falls/Buffalo NY USA
I believe that your daughter sent you this wonderful piece of music to let you know she is alright and that she loves you and wishes to be able to console you.
Music should by definition be selfless. Only in a world this shitty we marvel at this. Music should be enjoyed everywhere and all the time for free. We as a species have decided that anything worthwile is not free
Agree with other commenters. Unfortunately I stopped performing a couple of years before the advent of flashmobs, but I so wish I could participate as either performer or audience in one of these. In our "community band" we once or twice invited audience members to sit inside the group to experience the music from our perspective and everyone seemed to love it. I doubt any of the performers in this video felt "selfless" in the least. It is a great feeling to show people, especially kids, the feelings of power and satisfaction derived from performing a piece like this on real live wind and percussion instruments, not synthesizers, drum machines and autotuned voices.
Maybe you should contact High School, ,University Choirs, Church Choirs, in your area. These are artists that don't EVER get enough exposure. See if you can get them to be as one for a local charity.
Be the catalyst. Sing something from a great Broadway Show. I'm a Roman Catholic with less than a great voice in community theater that has had the role of : "Tevie". Our " Goldie" was , "Episcopalian". Our Yente was, "Methodist"; ….Yet we all embrace the amazing stories of : Sholom Aleichem. Embrace the common thread of cultural struggle.
Cooking if you had heard my "singing" voice you would never make such a suggestion. Iused to have a lovely voice then puberty hit, now it could be used as a form of torture :-)
How absolutely fantastic! The practice it must have taken to coordinate everyone- the orchestra, singers, dancers, & the confetti... WOW, JUST WOW, BRAVO! I love that the 3 original singers ended up standing back-to-back. Fabulous. I had to come back to this video. I'm an avid concertgoer who knows the formality of seeing & hearing a concert in a symphony hall, so this is very different. I could not imagine going somewhere to do errands or getting on a plane or train, & all of a sudden random people in the crowd started to play instruments, sing, & dance. It would be extraordinary. I would gladly miss my plane or train to witness a performance such as this. Again, Bravo Everyone, Multi Bravo!
When I saw "Flashmob Carmina Burana", I thought, "A flashmob singing 'O Fortuna'......cool!!!" At 2:15......the tympanist hits that drum, that immortal 'D' note.........AND IT BEGINS!!!! I was NOT disappointed!!!
I kinda missed the bass drum and gong. But that might have given a few heart attacks in this situation. I even thought the tympanist was holding back a bit to avoid overwhelming a 'lay' audience with the massive percussivosity of his regular performance level.
Not to nitpick but... And I could be wrong, not being a vocalist... But I don't think they're songs. They're sections or movements of a secular oratorio. But yeah, I know the whole setting is a bunch of people in a tavern singing songs; many of them drunken songs. So while I shudder violently every time someone comments "yeah dude, we're totally playing this song in band" when referring to a piece of classical/serious music, if one can ever be forgiven for calling a piece of serious music a song, I suppose this is the occasion.
Amazing. The beauty that we can produce. The smiles and joy of the spectators and performers reminds us what's important in life. I can only imagine the planning involved to do this. Well done!!! Bravo!!!
Buy a ticket for any concert near you! You've the Italian flag as pic so dont tell me you've no occasion to do so in Italia, you guys have such amazing orchestras!
I heard this amazing piece of music in an open square of Lisbon in June with 2 different choirs and the traditional 1930s trams passing by and its bells ringing . One of my best memories ever...
I toured with a choir in college, and this was our primary piece. What a piece of music! It's even more exciting and pulse-pounding to perform than it is to listen to.... but I still love hearing it, even 45 years later! Bravo!
I listen to the whole, entire work with my eyes closed, and it never gets old. Thank you! For those who don't know, this is only the first, opening movement of an entire composition by Carl Orff, titled Carmina Burana. If you liked this you really should hear the REST of it!!!!
It's part (roughly the second half) of movement 15 Amor volat undique, followed by part (the intro and the last of the three verses) of O Fortuna. As has been stated, O Fortuna is both the first movement and the last (25th). I'm not sure what "brief movement in between" Larry was thinking of -- perhaps 23 Dulcissime? At any rate there are nine movements in between, not just one.
I sang Carmina Burana with the East Lansing [Michigan] High School choir in ~1958. It was the absolute highlight musical experience of my young life. This flash mob event was magnificent!
I always think... what a joy it must be to pick up or sit down with an instrument & coax such lovely sounds from them. Even a wonderful singer... just to open their mouth & elicit that beauty. How Marvelous! We are so blessed to have the writers of this fine music & talented performers who bring it to us.
Das ist ein sehr energiegeladenes Stück, sehr schön, auch nicht leicht, weder zu singen noch Akrobatik perfekt hinzubekommen, weil die ganzen schnellen Salti in einer Menschenmenge hinzubekommen sind. Salti passen aber perfekt zu dem Stück. Haben sie gut gemacht, die Menschen zu überraschen.
Comme à chaque fois que j'écoute Carmina Burana , les larmes me viennent , en plus , comme ça au millieu d'un public qui ne c'y attend pas , c' est grandiose , j'aurais voulu y être , merci
Jedes mal, wenn ich die Reaktion von Fußgänger beobachte, sehe ich, dass die Menschen immer noch empfindlich sind. Und Carmina Burana basiert auf dem emotionalen... Danke schön, Wiener Oper, Ihr seid großartig!
MEEEEEEEGA TOLL. Ich habe Gänsehaut von oben bis unten. Vor 12 Jahren habe ich die komplette Carmina mit meinem damaligen Chor und noch einem Gastchor mit zusammen 90 Sänger / innen , einigen Solisten und einem Kinderchor im Saarland und in Aachen aufgeführt. Das war ein WUNDERVOLLES UND UNVERGESSLICHES ERLEBNIS.
I'd like to add to your comment ..".You are obligated to share that moment of exhilaration with others." Actively show others that joy in your daily life". Find ways to add something incredibly simple with others. "Say Hello, Smile,and do it as a committed act! Do it from your heart!"
Every time I stumble onto one of these, I wonder what it must have been to be there at the time. If I ever experienced it it most likely bring me to tears. Just watching the videos usually does. What an experience it must be. Thank you to all musicians who participate in one of these.
No , cleaners wouldn't do that now days , they could be sued for destroying " a piece of art " .qz.com/535482/italian-museum-cleaners-mistook-a-contemporary-art-piece-for-trash/ 😬
Could someone please tell me if the original piece had these prolonged notes by the three sopranos? My three years old grand daughters asked me why the sopranos kept singing the same long notes yesterday..I wish I could answer.. and wish to know if that part was in the original composition？
I would love it to be. Sadly it's dubbed. There are orchestral reasons why what you're seeing isn't what you're hearing but I won't bore you with them. It's still a great video so . . . So what.
I don't feel there is anything ordinary about these people. It takes a certain level of talent and professionalism to be able to pull this off. I've done this piece before and the harmony alone is enough to give most singers nightmares.
I don't know why unless it's the power of the talent brought together for the benefit of everyone there that day and since thru video , it really makes me emotional !
This is spectacular on so many levels. People looking around to see where it was coming from. They guy with the camera looking, where, where. Memories made from young to old. One of the best.
Utterly stupendous! What a beautiful gift from those lovely musicians and artists. A glorious, majestic, soaring colourscape that came from nowhere, grew into a masterpiece then was gone. An echo of loveliness.
I myself had the the pleasure of taking part in a very special Choir-flashmob: we, as a choir from Germany, performed Beethovens "Freude schöner Götterfunken/Ode To The Joy" on the Chinese Wall. In chinese language. Fantastic experience.
Gregg, just have a look at the homepage of the "Wiener Volksoper" (address mentioned in the description). There you have pictures of all the current singers and maybe the ladies are still members of the opera ensemble.
...................................................................................................................................A legjobb Flashmob.....💚💚💚💚💚
Eine Welt endlosen Staunens. Schaut auf die Gesichter der Menschen. Ich war zwar nicht dabei aber Danke. So sollte die Musik die Menschen erreichen und inne halten lassen.
I just don't know what to say. Never listened to this piece of music. What was I missing? OMG, it's just beautiful. Adjectives can't express how I feel about this. Love it.
+Charles Rosenburg If you have never heard Carmina Burana before, I hope you have made up for it now. I have been listening to it for more than half my life. Wonderful! If you're looking for the best version, and there are a lot, try the Deutsche Grammophon version with Dietrich Fischer-Diskau singing baritone. The best by far in my humble opinion.
+Charles Rosenburg This was sort of a medley of the overall work of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, his version an expansion on the earlier religious texts and poems by the same name. Where the timpani hits and they belt it out is O Fortuna (Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi) [Oh, Fortune (Fortune, Ruler of the World)]. The version they sang here is a mix of all three verses and goes: O Fortuna Velut luna Statu variabilis [...] Sors immanis et inanis [...] michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite! O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable. [...] Fate - monstrous and empty [...] and virtue, driven on and weighted down, always enslaved. So at this hour without delay pluck the vibrating strings; since Fate strikes down the strong man, everyone weep with me!
+Charles Rosenburg It's a well-known piece of oratorio. My favorite use of it is in the 1981 Arthurian epic film EXCALIBUR, directed by John Boorman. They use it during the knights' quest for the Holy Grail.
WARUM passiert mir so was nicht?😂😂😂😘😘

Definitely one of the best flashmobs - musicians, chorale, dancers, acrobats, and even confetti!

The singing was superb, and the music and dancers.
Nothing else was needed.

I'm a big fan of those flashmobs, I love to see how music bring smiles to people's faces, how it makes them happy. The power of music.
Especially such a powerful piece
Somehow it always makes me very emotional
I truly hope that the events return once Covid is declared no longer a pandemic. The years we’ve spent worried, unable to fully participate in large groups, have had a toll on many. Flash mobs have many benefits for the groups (often young talented musicians who learn precision & additional timing, from this style & get exposure to performing for large crowds, the hours planning & rehearsing build cooperation, highlight some but usually all the performers, building trust & I imagine they are fun & then exciting & satisfactions of a job well done & much more I am sure).

When I saw "Flashmob Carmina Burana", I thought, "A flashmob singing 'O Fortuna'......cool!!!"
At 2:15......the tympanist hits that drum, that immortal 'D' note.........AND IT BEGINS!!!!
I was NOT disappointed!!!
I kinda missed the bass drum and gong. But that might have given a few heart attacks in this situation. I even thought the tympanist was holding back a bit to avoid overwhelming a 'lay' audience with the massive percussivosity of his regular performance level.
“Oh Fortuna” indeed. The song is about how we are all on this wheel of life and death. Today more than ever.

The Wheel of Fortune.

You're talking about Corona, or about the total destruction of our environment?
Fortuna imperatrix mundi
I sang Carmina Burana with the East Lansing [Michigan] High School choir in ~1958. It was the most thrilling musical event of my young life to date!
Played an arrangement of it with my high school's wind ensemble several years ago--can definitely agree with it being something special!
Nice event to remember.
Woooow, u r almost 37 by now, riggt?? I have always bern good with meth!!❤❤😂😂
This is absolutely incredible, how nice, it would be to be in a shopping center and suddenly people as talented as this act so wonderfully! 🤗💞

It is also the final movement, which follows the sopranos' piece. There's one brief movement in between, a solo soprano, but most people won't notice.
Watch out for those lyrics, though.

Das ist ein sehr energiegeladenes Stück, sehr schön, auch nicht leicht, weder zu singen noch Akrobatik perfekt hinzubekommen, weil die ganzen schnellen Salti in einer Menschenmenge hinzubekommen sind. Salti passen aber perfekt zu dem Stück. Haben sie gut gemacht, die Menschen zu überraschen.
Comme à chaque fois que j'écoute Carmina Burana , les larmes me viennent , en plus , comme ça au millieu d'un public qui ne c'y attend pas , c' est grandiose , j'aurais voulu y être , merci
Jedes mal, wenn ich die Reaktion von Fußgänger beobachte, sehe ich, dass die Menschen immer noch empfindlich sind. Und Carmina Burana basiert auf dem emotionalen... Danke schön, Wiener Oper, Ihr seid großartig!
carmina burana is one of the most powerful pieces ever.
Ha, I thought that was the city they were in hahaha
Carmina Burana are a series of compositions made by Carl Orff based on the poems of the Codex Burana.

I love flashmobs. People get immediately connected. It's a time of joy, beauty, smiles! Very special. We should always be like this!
Now I want to see it again from another 20 viewpoints. Those dancers looked insane!
Music makes Life worthy. Thank you.
MEEEEEEEGA TOLL. Ich habe Gänsehaut von oben bis unten.
Vor 12 Jahren habe ich die komplette Carmina mit meinem damaligen Chor und noch einem Gastchor mit zusammen 90 Sänger / innen , einigen Solisten und einem Kinderchor im Saarland und in Aachen aufgeführt. Das war ein WUNDERVOLLES UND UNVERGESSLICHES ERLEBNIS.
This one of my favorite pieces of music. I have loved this since I was a child. Thank you.
The moment when you realize that magic really exists ... and you are inside its bubble and living it.
Fl
W Canaday. And that’s the truth and nothing but the truth. Let music inspire our dreams and future, not our fears.
I'd like to add to your comment ..".You are obligated to share that moment of exhilaration with others." Actively show others that joy in your daily life". Find ways to add something incredibly simple with others. "Say Hello, Smile,and do it as a committed act! Do it from your heart!"
@@cookingprof And SMILE!
SENSATIONELL!!!!!!!!!!
Mir kamen die Tränen vor Rührung...
Einfach klasse!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I come back to this video every time I need an energy boost! How lucky they were to have such a magnificent presentation in a random day.
Every time I stumble onto one of these, I wonder what it must have been to be there at the time. If I ever experienced it it most likely bring me to tears. Just watching the videos usually does. What an experience it must be. Thank you to all musicians who participate in one of these.
I've watched this sooo many times yet it still gives me goosebumps! Bravo 👏 👏 👏
This one and the Beethoven flashmob Ode an die Freude
My research has shown it is MUCH BETTER to get goosebumps than chickepox!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂
Fantastisch! So viel Expression und Schoenheit! Ich bin begeistert!
Exceptional performance and location!
see the amazed and happy faces, gotta love a flash mob
andrew holgate i just love how uncomfortable people get when someone next to them starts singing 😂
Qué maravilla encontrar un espectáculo así en la calle!!! Carmina Burana es sin duda mi obra musical favorita. No me canso de escucharla♥️
Oh man that would totally make my day ❤
The only thing missing is a final shot of the two 'cleaning women' sweeping up the confetti.

Shades of Carol Burnett!
No , cleaners wouldn't do that now days , they could be sued for destroying " a piece of art " .qz.com/535482/italian-museum-cleaners-mistook-a-contemporary-art-piece-for-trash/ 😬
OMG, the emotion and the tears. How beautiful on every level
I've saved this to my favorites & have watched it many times. Never grow bored with it! Bravo!!
Wahnsinn... ohne Worte!! Kompliment für dieses einzigartige Geschenk!!
I love these kinds of performances. This really has power too!
Wow. Just spectacular.
these sorts of things never happen when im out and about. how can one find out when/where they will occur such that i might experience one?
That was great! Must have been epic with the acoustics of an airport.
merveilleuse initiative
bravo ❗merci 🎄🕯️❤️🇬🇷
B E A U T I F U L!
Especially that prolonged note by the first three singers. Amazing!
Could someone please tell me if the original piece had these prolonged notes by the three sopranos? My three years old grand daughters asked me why the sopranos kept singing the same long notes yesterday..I wish I could answer.. and wish to know if that part was in the original composition？
this is a true high quality flash mob!!
I would love it to be. Sadly it's dubbed. There are orchestral reasons why what you're seeing isn't what you're hearing but I won't bore you with them. It's still a great video so . . . So what.
Beautiful!!
Such an emotion ! To re send again to friends! We all need Carmina's energy in these hard times! Thanks!
Früher war alles besser.
Heute ist es ja schon ein "Highlight", wenn die Bahn pünktlich kommt...
Danke für das tolle Video, liebe VolksoperInnen!
Ordinary people, extraordinary talent.
I don't feel there is anything ordinary about these people. It takes a certain level of talent and professionalism to be able to pull this off. I've done this piece before and the harmony alone is enough to give most singers nightmares.
Well in fact these people are professionals ;) It was a flashmob live act of the singers of the "Volksoper" in Vienna.
naaah, m8, it's extremely hard work, fueled by passion
I don't know why unless it's the power of the talent brought together for the benefit of everyone there that day and since thru video , it really makes me emotional !
That was great! Confetti, perfectly matched singing... the amazed look on the faces of people around them!
Thanks for all the practice you guys have put over the years you just broke me in the most beautiful way 🎻
Genial ,perfekt, schön mal wieder Menschen in Harmonie zu sehen ,ich bin sehr beeindruckt ❤
This is spectacular on so many levels. People looking around to see where it was coming from. They guy with the camera looking, where, where. Memories made from young to old. One of the best.
OMG, nur einmal moechte ich so etwas erleben😊❤😊
Utterly stupendous!
What a beautiful gift from those lovely musicians and artists. A glorious, majestic, soaring colourscape that came from nowhere, grew into a masterpiece then was gone. An echo of loveliness.
I myself had the the pleasure of taking part in a very special Choir-flashmob: we, as a choir from Germany, performed Beethovens "Freude schöner Götterfunken/Ode To The Joy" on the Chinese Wall. In chinese language. Fantastic experience.
Wow, that sounds cool. Is there a video of that on UA-cam? And in what Chinese language did you sing? Mandarin?
das hätte ich gern live erlebt , phantastisch schön das es solche Menschen gibt danke für das Video !!!
Que bello!!! Y que gran sorpresa para las personas que les toca disfrutar estos espectáculos!!! Ojalá y se difunda a todo el mundo!!!
How can a thousand people not like that? I love these flashmobs and this was a good one!
Wow! Those ladies voices at the beginning are incredible!!!! Wonderful performance from everyone.
Does anyone know their names?
Gregg, just have a look at the homepage of the "Wiener Volksoper" (address mentioned in the description). There you have pictures of all the current singers and maybe the ladies are still members of the opera ensemble.

that was awesome that is the best of the best of the best best best best I still have chills Thanks it was wonderful
I am pretty sure I would have missed my train for that.
Me too!!
me too
I just wish I could have been there and experienced this in person. It's brilliant!

Eine Welt endlosen Staunens. Schaut auf die Gesichter der Menschen. Ich war zwar nicht dabei aber Danke. So sollte die Musik die Menschen erreichen und inne halten lassen.
I just don't know what to say. Never listened to this piece of music. What was I missing? OMG, it's just beautiful. Adjectives can't express how I feel about this. Love it.
+Charles Rosenburg If you have never heard Carmina Burana before, I hope you have made up for it now. I have been listening to it for more than half my life. Wonderful! If you're looking for the best version, and there are a lot, try the Deutsche Grammophon version with Dietrich Fischer-Diskau singing baritone. The best by far in my humble opinion.
+Charles Rosenburg This was sort of a medley of the overall work of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, his version an expansion on the earlier religious texts and poems by the same name.
Where the timpani hits and they belt it out is O Fortuna (Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi) [Oh, Fortune (Fortune, Ruler of the World)].
The version they sang here is a mix of all three verses and goes:
O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis [...]
Sors immanis
et inanis [...]
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable. [...]
Fate - monstrous
and empty [...]
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!
Thank you. this was certainly an attention grabber. Must give time to listen to the entire piece.
+Charles Rosenburg It's a well-known piece of oratorio. My favorite use of it is in the 1981 Arthurian epic film EXCALIBUR, directed by John Boorman. They use it during the knights' quest for the Holy Grail.
