I don't think I saw this movie until I was about 18 and now that The Hunchback of Notre Dame has become my favorite book, I regret having waited so long to see it @_@
The rest of the lyrics from that verse of that hymn are even better. Libera me, Domine/de morte aeterna/in die illa tremenda/quando caeli movendi/sunt et terra! "Free me, Lord/from eternal death/on that tremendous day/when you shall move/heaven and earth!" Sometimes, Catholicism just gets METAL.
@@jacobschaller6566 I also dislike the gargoyles but I just like to image that because Clopin is narrating the story to children they're characters created by him. They're not real and also not imagined by Quasimodo (since how would the scene with them defending the cathedral make sense?) Also unpopular opionion but guy like you is a good song. Perhaps a bit misplaced but good.
Say what you will about the gargoyles but this line alone goes so hard EVERY time I rewatch it. One of THE hardest lines a Disney comedy side kick has ever dropped.
Personally I consider the part when Phoebus rally the peasants to attack to be the best of Disney moments. But only in the swedish version. The english voiceactor simply dont got the same...feel :p
Yeah but the music from Alan Menken is the highlight here, it's out of this world. Honestly, I've been composing for years for film and theatre and in my opinion this is as good as it gets. I don't believe any other composer in the world could of pulled off this scene better. James Horner was fantastic and obviously Hans Zimmer & John Williams have done some great things, but I don't think people truly appreciate the complexity, power and uniqueness of this score. It's sensational.
1:25 - 1:40 "Okay. Okay, Quasi, we'll leave you alone. After all, we're only made out of stone. We just thought maybe you were made of something stronger.."
@@milagroscabrera5304 Sorry for the late reply. I a 100% feel you! Every time I hear the music and think the quote with it, I still get the goosebumps everywhere. The symbolism was done perfectly in this movie.
I seriously love this OST because it resonates with everything that happens during the scene itself: *During the drums of Esmeralda's execution* Judex crederis esse venturus (Our Judge we believe shall come) In te, Domine, speravi (In You, Lord, have I trusted) Non confundar in aeternum (Let me not be damned for eternity) Salvum fac populum tuum (Save Your people) Judex crederis (In our Judge we believe) *Just after Esmeralda spits in Frollo's face* Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) *As Quasi breaks free and saves Esmeralda* Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) Libera me Domine (Free me, Lord) Libera me Domine de morte aeterna (Free me, Lord, from everlasting death) In die illa tremenda (On that terrible day) Quando caeli movendi sunt (When the heavens shall be moved) Caeli et terra (The heavens and earth) Dum verneris judicare (When though shall come to judge the world) Saeculum per ignem (The world by fire) O, salutaris hostai (Oh Saviour, saving victim) Quae cali pandis ostium (Who opens the gate of heaven) Bella premunt hostilia (Our enemies besiege us) Da robur, fer auxilium (Give us strength, bring us aid) Sit semperterna gloria (May you always be praised) Sit semperterna gloria (May you always be praised) Sit semperterna gloria (May you always be praised) Gloria, gloria semper (Glory, glory forever) Sanctus (Holy) Sanctus in excelsis (Holy, in the highest) *As Frollo's guards assault Notre Dame* Mors stupibet et natura (Death and nature shall be confounded) Cum resurget creatura (When creation shall rise again) Judicanti responsurra (To answer for judgement) Judex ergo cum sedebit (Therefore, when the Judge will take his seat) Nul inultum remanebit (Nothing shall remain unpunished) *After Phoebus rallies Paris' citizens* Quem patronum rogaturus (To what protector shall I appeal) Cum vix justus sit securus?

@@michelecastellotti9172 It's the Latin words from just about any Requiem out there. Check out Mozart's Requiem for an intense, fire and brimstone experience. But my favorite Requiem is Gabriel Faure's. More subtle. . Anyway, you find these lyrics all over the 'Hunchback' soundtrack, which is PURE BRILLIANCE, considering both the setting and the story. The thing that makes Frollo so chillingly evil is the fact that he views himself as God's servant, doing God's will. Which, of course, is completely bogus. He's just a horrid, wicked man, corrupted by his own prejudice and arrogance.
@@michelecastellotti9172 Sorry, my music nerd side reared its head. Yeah, it's hard to make out the words just listening to it. Still, beautiful music.
Alan Menken did Beauty and the Beast in 1991. Then, Hans Zimmer came in and made the Lion King in 1994. After, Alan Menken decided it was time to step up in his game to reclaim his trone and made his most beautiful score!
He took it back first by scoring a Best Original Score Oscar for "Pocahontas." In all actuality, Hans Zimmer cannot hold a candle to Menken when you think about it.
This is seriously some Lord of the Rings level soundtrack here. It almost seems too good by Disney's standards. I could listen to it over and over again. So epic and amazing.
This is too good for a Disney film. Its music is easily the best disney has ever done. This movie had so many outstanding moments that made you go I can't believe this is real. Amazing movie
3:57 there's something so powerful about this moment - after an entire majority of the film where Frollo has managed to disguise his wickedness and get away with unjust oppression over and over again - it's only now because of Quasimodo, Esmerelda and Phoebus' bravery to stand up and do what is right (despite the majority not feeling safe to join them prior) and the fact that Frollo has threatened the one thing sacred to all of them - Notre Dame ie. he sees himself almost as superior to its sanctity - do they finally all stand together and fight back. It shows that whilst we are individually afraid to stand up against evil and sometimes are complicit in letting bad things go by in fear of what would happen to us if we stood against it, as a group - when evil even attempts to threaten something which means something to an entire community - there is power in those things which bring us together - they are the things which will allow us to overcome our individual fears, come together and do what we all know is right.
Me too! I never even knew Frollo wanting Esmerelda was a sexual thing. He despises her yet wants her!

while at Notre Dame in Paris, back in 2013, I was listening to this very song (headphones on, of course) and thinking of myself as that little girl who, at the age of 10, began her love for Middle Ages, churches and gypsies after watching this movie. I'm 31 and I still get thrilled with this music (and I still love Middle Ages, churches and gypsies hehe).
I believe not winning Oscars for this broke Menken. This was his magnus opus. His quality dipped from Hercules onwards relegating himself to the so called ‘Menken sound’ compared to his previous works which were all unique.
To be fair, this movie has a severe tone problem. I think if they had been allowed to make a straight up PG movie without the sillier elements weighing it down, it would have been way more effective
They're actually chanting in Latin! Listen to the beginning: "Judex crideris esse venturus in te, Domine, speravi! non confundar in æternum Salvum fac populum tuum! Judex crideris!" Which translates to: "We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge. O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded. O Lord save thy people! We believe that thou shalt be our Judge! "
This music is so darn epic AND beautiful I can’t stop replaying it, especially at the part when Quasi breaks free and saves Esmeralda. Alan Menken is an outright genius!
Alan Menken baby! This is his magnum opus in my opinion. He let every ounce of his genius shine in this movie, but this piece ascends above everything I’ve ever heard from his already incredible library. Truly a master at his peak.
I do believe she's called La Esmeralda (although usually just Esmeralda) in the book. She was given a Spanish due to her foreign origins, and it's Esmeralda specifically because she wears an emerald amulet as a vow of chastity.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame book is the most impersonal spiritual journey ever. I prefer what Disney did in making the characters 3-dimensional instead of mere facets. The only likeable person in the book was Frollo, and it's pretty much his Revenge of the Sith.
The climax, from Hugo’s own words: “…for at that moment Quasimodo truly had a beauty of his own. He was beautiful, he, the orphan, the foundling, the reject, he felt august and strong, he looked society in the face, that society from which he had been banished, and in which he was intervening so powerfully, that human justice whose prey he had snatched, all these tigers forced to chew on emptiness, those police agents, those judges, those executioners, all that royal might, which he had just broken, he the lowliest of the low, with the might of God. Besides it was very affecting, this protection coming from so deformed a creature upon so unhappy a being, a girl condemned to death rescued by Quasimodo. It was two extremes of wretchedness, of nature and of society, meeting and helping each other.”
Once upon a time, back in the times of the VHS, I had trained myself to rewind perfectly from the moment Quasi screams Sanctuary back to the first Kyrie Eleison of the song.
My favorite Disney movie. I remember watching this on the theater, and I felt that for the first time Disney was treating me like an adult. I loved it.
When I first watch this movie, I was a child and not Christian and not speaker of linguae romanicae. 20 years later, I studied Latin and understood "LIBERA ME DOMINE" for the first time. This movie teached me learning language is how wonderful.
As an Old Rite Catholic, the Latin here is so appropriate for the scenes taking place: from the sense of doom and pleading at Esmeralda's impending death, to the daring moment of rescue, to and the final judgement of Frollo.
@@ciel9112 tbh it would be more kid friendly than The Hunchback of Notre Dame ahahahha like, a man tempted by lust and attempted genocide in a movie meant for children? Les Mis in comparison is pretty light
This kind of reminds me of that first song in Prince of Eygpt. I'm pretty sure it was called Deliver us. I loved that first song so much, so much power in the voices and a lot of emotion. I'm not sure what that song makes me feel, but I feel strong emotions when listening to it. This song is very similar to me.
I am the typical gamery pudgy nerd. I don't do exercise. But music like this? This shit makes me want to start running as fast as I possibly can out of sheer HOLY SHIT AWESOME.
This scene has so many small details that just chill my spine. An example, for me at least, is when the camera angle cuts to the bell of Notre Dame literally resonating from the force of Quasimodo's pull on the chains!!! powerful stuff.
Yup, it's latin alright, I've used some of these words when I've gone to church. Different from the book or not, this is a movie that took its target audience seriously

Me pone los pelos de punta.. Obra maestra que lamentablemente no tuvo el valor que debió haber tenido en su tiempo, espero la vuelvan a exhibir en los cines, sería de las primeras en ir a verla.. y si me es posible una y otra y otra vez. Como extraño a ese Disney..
Our aunt took my brother and I to the theater, to watch the movie, back then. I remember that I was in awe during this scene, but I asked my aunt what Quasi meant by screaming "Sanctuary". She answered me that the soldiers couldn't kill Esmeralda while she was in the church... Well done, Quasi!
What a movie! I still love it, still love the magnificent score. Alan Menken's music, thunderously moving from minor key when Quasimodo loops the rope and starts to make the swing down to the pyre, to major key when he does indeed save her, is something I can listen over to again and again. Sanctuary!
That moment where he's broken free of the chains and slowly looks up with that Kubrick stare towards the camera... I can never watch that without shuddering.
I'm ridiculously jealous of people who got to watch this movie in theaters.
well it came out about 19 years ago so our computers audio quality is about the same of the computers we have now :D
Dude same here! The music would sound way more awesome and the animation would be way more magnified on the big screen
i saw this in theaters when it came out! i was 5!!!
I didn't get to see it until I was about 12
I don't think I saw this movie until I was about 18 and now that The Hunchback of Notre Dame has become my favorite book, I regret having waited so long to see it @_@
The symbolism in that scene though. Quasimodo litterally unchaining himself from what was essentially his prison his whole life was POWERFUL too.
And Quasi descending from the heights of Notre Dame to help Esmeralda (an outcast in need of saving from persecution)
My brethren, turn away from sin and give your life to Christ✝
And the cathedral's bells singing his wrath!
Am I the only one who interpreted it as when Samuel asked for one last strength to break from his chains?
@@Zerpan12
Isn’t it Samson?
1:51-2:00 _Libera me Domine_ !
In English this means “Free me oh Lord!” which plays as Quasimodo tries to break his chains.
Love it
The rest of the lyrics from that verse of that hymn are even better.
Libera me, Domine/de morte aeterna/in die illa tremenda/quando caeli movendi/sunt et terra!
"Free me, Lord/from eternal death/on that tremendous day/when you shall move/heaven and earth!"
Sometimes, Catholicism just gets METAL.
"OK Quasi. We'll leave you alone."
"After all, we're only made out of stone"
"We just thought maybe you were made of something stronger"
something stronger enough to break a chain.
As much as I despise the Gargoyles, I really like that line tbh.

ITS the BEST EVER. THIS MOVIE IS A PIECE OF ART.

I think he was heavily influenced by the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for this piece.
As an Old Rite Catholic, the Latin here is so appropriate for the scenes taking place: from the sense of doom and pleading at Esmeralda's impending death, to the daring moment of rescue, to and the final judgement of Frollo.
2:30 I can hear it, the crowd in the movie cheering as quasi swings down and saves Esmeralda.
"Sanctuary! Sanctuary! Sanctuary!!"
1:41 Still gives me chills.
1:50 NOOOO!!!!

1:52
(Bells of Notre Dame proceed to roar alongside Quasimodo)
DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? SINGING A SONG OF ANGRY MENIT IS THE MUSIC OF- oh, wait, wrong Victor Hugo musical.
Lol yeah
MY JAM
Phoebus: "Let others rise to take our place - UNTIL THE EARTH IS FREE!!!!"
I propose Disney try to me Les Mis into a 'kid friendly' animated feature like they did with this.
@@ciel9112 tbh it would be more kid friendly than The Hunchback of Notre Dame ahahahha like, a man tempted by lust and attempted genocide in a movie meant for children? Les Mis in comparison is pretty light
She will survive! Notre Dame is still alive!
The bell tower is
Legit one of the best musical pieces of movie score out there. Still gives me goosebumps in 2021
You can just see quazis pent up anger and rage in this scene, even through just the music. It's kinda scary but at the same time it's uplifting
I still get shivers listening to this and the next song and Out There
3:20 The way the tension immensely rises
This kind of reminds me of that first song in Prince of Eygpt. I'm pretty sure it was called Deliver us. I loved that first song so much, so much power in the voices and a lot of emotion. I'm not sure what that song makes me feel, but I feel strong emotions when listening to it. This song is very similar to me.
Am I allowed to cry and sob listening to this heavenly work at the office?
ahhhh Disney gone are the days when you gave us epic scenes with such epic track that go with them.
Very epic right at 2:22! Love this movie and what Alan Menken has done.
"SANCTUARY, SANCTUARY, SANCTUARY!!!!"
~ Quasimodo
If someone DARES to dislike this song. DON'T look at me. DON'T talk to me.
We're not friends.
I am the typical gamery pudgy nerd. I don't do exercise. But music like this? This shit makes me want to start running as fast as I possibly can out of sheer HOLY SHIT AWESOME.
Alan Menken is a genius!
And one of the best dudes of all time who can make an epic Movie Score.
Gosh when that Kyrie eleison kicks in at 0:50
Pure magic...
I love these kind of "liberation" vibe songs. Deliver us,sanctuary and do u hear the people sing are the best types in this genre
0:49 "The gypsy Esmeralda has refused to recant!"
Taza y Charla it's actually 0:52
This music, especially from 2:12 to 3:10, is SO DARN EPIC that even after 23 years I STILL get goosebumps!
*Hans Zimmer*: My music is the best!
*Menken*: hold my beer.... (composes 1:40)
*Zimmer*: ok ._."
John Williams *Enters The Chat*
John Powell: :/
*Bear Mcreary joins the conversation*
That's Kyrie Elesion at the end made me burst with tears
SANCTUS!! SANCTUS!!! *Iiiiiiiinnnnn EXCELSIS!!!!*
DEOOO
sorry... choir songs stuck in my head lol
the end is amzing 5:25
This scene has so many small details that just chill my spine. An example, for me at least, is when the camera angle cuts to the bell of Notre Dame literally resonating from the force of Quasimodo's pull on the chains!!! powerful stuff.
Caeli et Terra
Dum verneris judicarem
Saecolum per ignem
Latin its so fascinating🖤
Yup, it's latin alright, I've used some of these words when I've gone to church.
Different from the book or not, this is a movie that took its target audience seriously
This SO has me on the edge of my seat right now, i can imagine the scene in my head right now!
I think this is arguably the best piece of music Alan Menken has ever composed.
this gives me the goosebumps O.O
I don't know if this could be considered the best Disney film, but it has without a doubt, the BEST Disney soundtrack.
4:07 gets me hyped every time
03:24 I love the choirs chanting the lyrics as it starts off as mors stupibet et natura (death and nature should be confounded)
1:15 Love the underlying theme from Out There

This movie seriously has the best soundtrack ever imo
Me pone los pelos de punta.. Obra maestra que lamentablemente no tuvo el valor que debió haber tenido en su tiempo, espero la vuelvan a exhibir en los cines, sería de las primeras en ir a verla.. y si me es posible una y otra y otra vez. Como extraño a ese Disney..
Our aunt took my brother and I to the theater, to watch the movie, back then. I remember that I was in awe during this scene, but I asked my aunt what Quasi meant by screaming "Sanctuary". She answered me that the soldiers couldn't kill Esmeralda while she was in the church... Well done, Quasi!
What a movie! I still love it, still love the magnificent score. Alan Menken's music, thunderously moving from minor key when Quasimodo loops the rope and starts to make the swing down to the pyre, to major key when he does indeed save her, is something I can listen over to again and again. Sanctuary!
90s Disney was the best
That moment where he's broken free of the chains and slowly looks up with that Kubrick stare towards the camera... I can never watch that without shuddering.
The moment the boy became a man.
2:49 Chills every time
2:09
The gargoyles were right about Quasimodo. He *is stronger* than stone.
OH my god i just love all the build up at 2:50
Anyone else get mad Revenge of The Sith vibes from this movie's soundtrack?
Most epic Disney soundtrack!
The Orchestra and Choir is *chefs kiss**

1:50 LIBERAME DOMINE
i think this is the best soundtrack of the movie...
A soundtrack piece that could fit in Dark Souls, is in a "children's movie". This is how You do it
Wow, I felt the same way when playing Dark Souls. That makes it so much cooler now.
One of the best heroes moments of all time!
perfect song for 2021
Choose me... OR THE FIRE.
i like the fact that they use actual Latin and not gibberish like most songs that try to be epic.
2:57
SANCTUARY!!!!!!!!!!
SANCTUARY!!!!!!!!!!
SANCTUARY!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I listen this music and choir, I have goosebumps
"Achilles sit."
