It's strange, but a lot of people who think they don't like orchestral music, will be deeply moved whilst watching a film, and not even be conscious they are listening to orchestral music, and the whole range of emotions it can convey.
The first time I heard the Lacrimosa I was in tears at the end. I have a guitar arrangement of the Lacrimosa I enjoy playing for myself. Taking this music apart and seeing how it works is an amazing experience. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Dom you are a treasure, nobody makes videos like this, music theory with fun modern approaches and a jovial charismatic host. Fantastic job, i really like your videos and you are really really talented. Thanks for this aweskme vid
Dom, this video is incredible. Bullseye. You took up the challenge of opening the mind of younger musicians for classical masterpieces with a modern approach. A specialist in music technology talking about the genius of Mozart, if one guy have the credibility to do this. it's you. More-more-moooore!!!! ;-D
Bro, please more Mozart analysis!!!! I came here because in my own compositions I find my harmony somewhat boring, and you explained this amazingly. Great job, thank you, and please do more!
Great job. I literally could not find a theory breakdown this good anywhere on YT. Im using your video to write out the main theme as a sort of lead sheet with chords so i can study it more easily. Again, thanks brother.
Perfect analysis. I actually found you by searching "lacrimosa harmony analysis" without too much hope of finding smth. The internet will never stop to amaze me
I watched this video a few times over in the past year. Dom’s enthusiasm and explanation really delivers Mozart’s brilliance so well. And it’s so instructive and inspiring. Thanks, Dom & Mo! 😉
There was a great episode on Mozart in the City where the conductor refuses to do a version a robot has filled in for the part Mozart didn't get to. The conductor Roderigo just conducts the Requiem, including a beautiful version of Lacrimosa, my favorite as well. So wonderful, on Amazon.You did a great job. Thanks for keeping Mozart out there.
Excellent work, Dom. Many in the USA are grieving now in the wake of our 2024 election, I among them. Don't be surprised if your channel blows up. I can stream the music elsewhere, but your analysis I find brilliant. All the best to you, brother. Blessings in these dark times.
We are strung from the same web. Love classical and Mozart is truth. You know I am doing a study on this piece and teaching the concept of hemiola rhythm which lacrymosa is perfect for. It’s crazy how he wrote the requiem and 3 of his last symphonies which are perfect beauty and the pinnical of his creativity. Thanks for teaching with all of us and reminding us that music is truth.
You're the man Dom. I've been an Ableton user for years and am sorry I didn't begin with Cubase.The learning curve hasn't been easy, but not giving up. I played trumpet in the school band, and used to read music. The biggest mistake of my life was quitting. I got infected with underground music in the late 90's particularly progressive trance. Bought two Techniques 1200's and the rest is history.
It’s genius in simplicity, the kind of genius that is long gone. Vision, that’s what is lost; mastering every tricks in the book doesn’t make you an artist, vision does
Every time I see this vid… Dom U’re killing us !! Extraordinary, simply magic !! it seems to me like I’m hearing Neville Mariner’s St Martin in the Fields, although I heard this piece maybe thousands time. You really made something great, I think this is the best electronic music piece ever done !
While Mozart died before he could finish Lacrimosa himself, I think Franz Xaver Sussmayr deserves a fair amount of credit for tying it all together the way he did too! Especially with the ending, which goes from a Minor Plagal Cadence to a Picardy Third. Normally the Picardy is associated with a brighter and more "hopeful" sound, but Sussmayr, through some black magic, managed to make it sound absolutely crushing, like all light has fallen.
Great video! Geeking out about the Mozart Requiem got me through music school. As a vocalist I am frequently reminded of Mozart’s tremendous knack for musical psychology when he’s setting a text, and I think an analysis of the text is helpful here as well. The text for this section is, in English, “when the guilty man rises from the ashes to be judged.” Mozart paints this with that huge ascending scale in the soprano, BUT ALSO on the harmonic level, he gives us a sequence rising by thirds (A to d, C to F, E to A, G to C). I think we can feel that root motion and the affect is visceral.
I am amateur musician with no knowledge in harmony but very interested in classics. Your video is just a perfect conbination of musical knowledge withou being too much dense or confuse, very didatic. Thank you so much gor you effort
Totally love the Salieri jealous insets! Mozart manages to make a journey from D minor, away and back, feel like one has touched God on the way. The second G6th is as you say the work of a genius.
your most passionate video, by far. do more, you are very good to transmit your goosbumps from music, and people needs to know who Mozart was. let's do a series about classical music, I think people will like.
Hi Dom, amazing analysis of this magnificent piece. I sang the Requiem years ago for the 200th anniversary of Mozart's death and the Lacrimosa was my favorite part. I can see your passion for this music! Great video, thank you!
This gives an entire different perspective to people who are unfamiliar with the classical music, LOVED IT! -- and for those who spends most of their time on jazz harmony or stuff like me, a quick reminder; aslo in jazz harmony, we see (ii b) voicings leading to the dominant/tonic time to time, like Mozart does. For ex: Db maj 7 - (G7) - C min6
What a brilliant video and analysis! It brought tears of joy to my eyes.... As a blues dude, these harmonies are sort of a mystery to me... :D But so beautiful!
15:35 I am not a musician but I am a music enthusiast. I've figured there are about 25 chord expressions in a diatonic scale. Double that to count the 3rd inversions for a reasonable palette of harmony choices within a scale. What Mozart did with chromatic scales and harmonies while moving through different keys is hard for me to follow. Thanks for stepping through Mozart's mind on this example.
I think this is the proper way of teaching theoretical concepts. It shows how these things are actually used in music, and also gives you an idea of the sound that they achieve. Reading about augmented 6ths and secondary dominants in a textbook may sound scary, but I think this demonstration alone taught a lot more about these chords than reading any book about these chords would (considering that one hasn't heard of these concepts before). I would actually encourage people to start from musical examples first, and only then read what the books say about those chords. This gives context to what the textbooks are actually talking about, and this gives you a much better understanding of how everything works. Reading about music is kind of useless if you don't have an idea of how the concepts actually sound like. But of course reading about the concepts, when you know their sound already, gives you a more in-depth understanding of them. This is why I would say, sound first, theory second. When you know the sound, then theory is a really powerful tool for gaining an in-depth understanding of the sounds. But if you don't know the sound, then theory is really difficult to approach, and not very useful either.
Thank you! I actually totally agree with you. I wish more of my teachers were teaching harmony like this- it shouldn’t be all rules and guides - let’s hear how this is actually used!
Beautiful, one of your best videos so far! I love the Mozart Requiem all, but the way resolves that Bflat German 6 into d 4/6 it's so genial (also love the suspended cadence on the dominant right after, just to confirm the D minor tonal center even more, astonishing...)
Hi Dom! I really love your ethuasiasm , you really love music, that's great! AND I love your huge screen in the back with the analyzer! I love coloured lights and screens and levels ... Greetings from Germany!
Another fantastic video on this piece!! I love the interjections from 'Amadeus' - the Lachymosa at the end brought me to tears, it still does. Thank you for discussion the scales and tension building. I am a composer myself and I am always looking for ways to build character, tension and interest in the uses of harmony. You do excellent videos and I will be watching for more. Fantastic job. It would be interesting to see what Mozart would have accomplished if F. Murray Abraham didn't do him in! lol :-) I am envious of your studio and equipment as well! Keep up the excellent work, Dom!
Check how I recreated the piece in Cubase using just two libraries here: ua-cam.com/video/C5UUsZRHGIc/v-deo.html
Crazy lucky that Mozart left his midi files for us and future generations
😂😂😂
Talk about having foresight
idiot they ddidnt have midi in the 1500s

100%. Great comment.
I'm personally so tired of hearing just orchestras in movies. It's been done to death for 100 years already, can we move on aaaa
It's a rare thing to find such people who talks this passionately about classical music. Keep up the good work buddy!
?
This is probably the best explanation I’ve heard. I’m not classically trained. But I think I kind of understand why people call him a genius now.
Thankyou so much to talk about classical music.

I have a guitar arrangement of the Lacrimosa I enjoy playing for myself. Taking this music apart and seeing how it works is an amazing experience. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Could you please share your guitar arrangement? I'd love to play it. Thanks in advance!

Interesting topic. I like how understanding harmony can make your songs better, so analyzing important Pieces is like having a cheatsheet !! :D
Mozart did exactly the same thing...that’s why his music changed over time, after studying with Haydn and J.C. Bach, among others
Yes I would like a breakdown of this piece of music!
Dom you are a treasure, nobody makes videos like this, music theory with fun modern approaches and a jovial charismatic host. Fantastic job, i really like your videos and you are really really talented. Thanks for this aweskme vid
Check out Adam Neely's channel, it will blow your mind
The introit of the requiem and the ouverture of the Magic Flute are beyond compréehension too.
Superb. I have been teaching music for over 50 years and this is a great explanation of the Lacrimosa.
Dom, this video is incredible. Bullseye. You took up the challenge of opening the mind of younger musicians for classical masterpieces with a modern approach.

My favourite Mozart piece.
Duuuuuuuuude. This is a killer idea. Can’t wait.
Lacrimosa is simply Divine!
Great job. I literally could not find a theory breakdown this good anywhere on YT. Im using your video to write out the main theme as a sort of lead sheet with chords so i can study it more easily. Again, thanks brother.
Thank you for your explanation of the chord scales of a Mozart musical piece that steals and enthralls me.
Beautifully done! It's always great to go deeper into masterpieces of classical music! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I had no idea a chord analysis could be this adventurous, kudos!
Woooow! A video that none should miss! A great composer's harmonies by another great composer!
Thank you Dom Sigalas.
It is very deeply explanation what and how Mozart did in this part of Lacrimosa.
Most satisfying build up to a cadential 6/4 ever. Thanks for this, Dom!!!
Thank you Dom, that is one of the most wonderful pieces of music EVER written .. thank you thankl you thank you!!
This was an excellent video, thanks so much for making it!
Love your analysis. Awesome. My heart is fill this evening with the most beautiful music. Thank you!

Love this classical music study!
Loved it. Highly insightful. I learned something. Much appreciated. I like the mood you convey. Fantastic.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Eric, highly appreciated ❤️
Wonderful video! Watched many times!!! BTW score has A natural 8:54. Still, the best analysis! Big thanks!!
This is pretty important. Without the Ab that cord isnt an augmented 6th, its just a diminish 7 from g
So so amazing...

Yes Dom, we want to see how you made it, it already sounds great. I think we'll appreciate that😊👍
By far your best video so far.. thank you..
I hope the season will start with the phenomenous transition from the confutatis to the lacrimosa
