And keep in mind the guts it takes to sing this in front of a Metal crowd! now I know metal lovers are the most open minded music lovers out there but still,... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Metal and classical music have a lot in common. If metal lovers would listen to classical music (and a lot that I know, do) they would hear the same emotions, like anger and joy. If classic lovers would give metal (especially symphonic metal) a change, the same.
Only these two laddies can silence screaming metal heads with this song 🥲🤘. I Highly recommend Epica's Star Wars (Battle Of The Heroes & Imperial Heroes) (Retrospect 10th Anniversary DVD II) !!!!!!! Thank You for this !!!! NWSU/Epican 🤘😎🤘.
Reading some notes off the DVD, the Orchestra were surprised by how much classical involvement they had in this concert, where they played instrumentals with Epica and the request to sing this song with them. Even in the last song, the Phantom Agony, the Orchestra plays on long after the band leave the stage.
The Stabat Mater is one of the most famous medieval Latin poems on the Mother of God in her sorrow for the crucified Christ. It is named after the poem's opening words, Stabat mater dolorosa (English: 'The mother stood sorrowful') Lyrics: Stabat Mater Dolorosa At the Cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Close to Jesus to the last: Through her heart, his sorrow sharing, All his bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has pass'd. Oh, how sad and sore distress'd Was that Mother highly blest Of the sole-begotten One! Christ above in torment hangs; She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying glorious Son. Is there one who would not weep, Whelm'd in miseries so deep, Christ's dear Mother to behold? Can the human heart refrain From partaking in her pain, In that Mother's pain untold? Bruis'd, derided, curs'd, defil'd, She beheld her tender Child All with bloody scourges rent; For the sins of his own nation, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till His Spirit forth He sent. O thou Mother! fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, Make my heart with thine accord: Make me feel as thou hast felt; Make my soul to glow and melt With the love of Christ my Lord. Holy Mother! pierce me through; In my heart each wound renew Of my Saviour crucified: Let me share with thee His pain, Who for all my sins was slain, Who for me in torments died. Let me mingle tears with thee, Mourning Him who mourn'd for me, All the days that I may live: By the Cross with thee to stay; There with thee to weep and pray; Is all I ask of thee to give. Virgin of all virgins blest!, Listen to my fond request: Let me share thy grief divine; Let me, to my latest breath, In my body bear the death Of that dying Son of thine. Wounded with his every wound, Steep my soul till it hath swoon'd, In His very blood away; Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, Lest in flames I burn and die, In his awful Judgment day. Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence, Be Thy Mother my defence, Be Thy Cross my victory; While my body here decays, May my soul thy goodness praise, Safe in Paradise with Thee.
Floor has a beautiful voice. You must hear her sing: O mio babbino caro. Are the Americans then short? I am 6 ft (1.85 m) and mine husband 6.5 ft (2.01 m)
A classical masterpiece performed by 2 awesome singers and great musicians. What a treat ! And not forget: a metal-head-crowd appreciating that 'way-beyond-genre' music ! Really adequate reaction !!! Music definitely connects 👏 Thank you and stay well. 👍
Simone sung this song more then once, also already back in 2008 during Epica's classical conspiracy tour with another singer doing the alto part..Simone is amazing!
Beautiful music. Pergolesi's music is amazing. You should listen to the whole Stabat Mater. Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736). Not opera by the way. A 'series of poems put to music'. A great pity he died so young.
A monk, they don't know if he was French or Italian, wrote this poem in the 13th century. In those times it was very normal not to sign your work which cost a lot of confusion. In 1736 it was put on music by Pergolesi. It was meant to be as a replacement for the "old fashioned" version of Scarlatti, who put it on music in 1724.
Oh hell yeah 😎 this is a fantastic cover. although I still gotta say "once upon a nightmare" is my favorite ballad from them , canvas of life is really close , and rivers is on its heels lol. So many good tunes

Two metal queens putting a crowd to silence with their skill We have seen Floor doing Disney Simone does it too ! check out her “ part of your world “ from the little mermaid !
This is not opera, this is religious baroque music. Talks about the mother, Mary, standing beneath her son on the cross, mourning. In classical singing you have four different main styles: opera, oratorio (religious mostly based on bible texts), lied (song, usually with piano, sometimes with orchestra) and concert (with orchestra, mostly vocal parts in symphonies). Each style asks for a different way of singing, because of performance tradition, time period, tuning and accompaniment.
NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on UA-cam.🇳🇱 And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on UA-cam, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

Floor never forget the conductor
At the end Simone says 'Dankjewel Floortje' which translates to 'Thank you very much little Floor' 😀
Hihi, Xena and Gabrielle in a full classical Masterpiece. 🤘😅OMG, how good they are🤘
And little Simone would be Simontje? :)
@@cancelled_user That would be Simoontje...an extra o is needed otherwise it' s a male name as Simon is male and Simone is a female name in dutch..😉
@@jaapblaauw3735 Thanks :) Now I recall I've also seen "Smoontje" somewhere.
@@cancelled_user Simoontje
despite the fact that Floor is a soprano, she takes care of the lower voice (alto). incredible🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
Only these two laddies can silence screaming metal heads with this song 🥲🤘.

Lyrics:
Stabat Mater Dolorosa
At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last:
Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
now at length the sword has pass'd.
Oh, how sad and sore distress'd
Was that Mother highly blest
Of the sole-begotten One!
Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying glorious Son.
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelm'd in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?
Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?
Bruis'd, derided, curs'd, defil'd,
She beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent;
For the sins of his own nation,
Saw Him hang in desolation,
Till His Spirit forth He sent.
O thou Mother! fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord:
Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ my Lord.
Holy Mother! pierce me through;
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour crucified:
Let me share with thee His pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourn'd for me,
All the days that I may live:
By the Cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray;
Is all I ask of thee to give.
Virgin of all virgins blest!,
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share thy grief divine;
Let me, to my latest breath,
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of thine.
Wounded with his every wound,
Steep my soul till it hath swoon'd,
In His very blood away;
Be to me, O Virgin, nigh,
Lest in flames I burn and die,
In his awful Judgment day.
Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence,
Be Thy Mother my defence,
Be Thy Cross my victory;
While my body here decays,
May my soul thy goodness praise,
Safe in Paradise with Thee.

Yes, youtube is so lame nowadays :-/
almost 10 years ago

Yes...Xena and Gabrielle are awesome together...😉
Arjen Lucassen should really write a Xena and Gaby rock opera next featuring those 2 😍🤘🏼

We have seen Floor doing Disney Simone does it too ! check out her “ part of your world “ from the little mermaid !
Two beautiful and talented singers without doubt you should check the Epica Universe
Pergolesi wrote this in a hurry at a young age, just before he died (he knew he was dying). It is about Mary seeing Jesus her son being crucified.
Try this one Epica also "Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show" mind blowing!

OK ok. I hear you highly
Wonderfull, epic.
God, I hate it that I lost the signed single cd from when they were still called Sahara Dust.
How could you!
@@cancelled_user I cleaned up a bit too much when I moved to another house. :(
Floor and Simone are good friends and someone said they were roommates at one time.
This is sacred classical, not opera, btw :)
I dont care, I always get teary eyes from this.
NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥
MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻
My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on UA-cam.🇳🇱
And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound,
this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎
Marco is singing solo on this one.
Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction.
AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO?
The second also hardly on UA-cam, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻
Enjoy it, and I with you!
Next floor doing opera o mio bambino caro
bij de 10e van tijl
Babbino, not bambino.
You'll make a cute little bald Pomeranian.
This video was too short. Floor does sing O Mio Bambino Caro. I like the version she does at a Revamp concert or her with just a piano.
Xin chào
If you think about it, both of them were inspired by Tarja Turunen to train in classical singing.
