Arvo Pärt - Te Deum (Tõnu Kaljuste, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra)

[@tylerr5285]

I'm so glad this is back up on youtube. It got taken down some time ago but now it's back and I'm so happy. I think I've probably listened to this piece four dozen times and each time the solemnity and fragrance of its harmony never ceases to remind me of the Holy Spirit

[@Nymphya]

Yes.

Breathtakingly beautiful, reverential, sublime. I find it most fascinating how the melody and rhythm varies so accordingly with respect to what the lyrics are conveying. I still listen to it like I did the first time, definitely an all time fave. May God bless Pärt's soul for having composed works that glorify Him

[@yveslatorte7925]

Tonu Kaljuste is so completely inside this Praise... Poetry in magnificence in the highest order... Carthatic, electrifying, tonic, blessing, cosmic and near, unbound and ethereal....... A picture of limping humanity, by a mystifying grace, offering fruits to the King of Immensity and Compassion. God allows this, to stoop to His children and weep with them... until they laugh.

Arvo part is the best composer in the past 100 years , treat him as such

[@albertosari2002]

I love this te deum by maestro Arvo Part, it reminds me a lot of a Gregorian chant from the 1200s

[@loge10]

This piece for me is highest musical expression of a mystical experience and the meaning of the text. I discovered the piece through these performers' CD back in 1993, and its impact has never diminished.

[@anesuishemudavanhu9436]

One of my favorite Arvo Part pieces. Amazing in the highest

The smile on the conductor's face right at the end...!

His music is always so beautifully ethereal! I hope everyone has heard of the recently reported research on the inborn musical aptitude of infants. At two days, infants react if there's a missing downbeat. And, as soon as they can control their muscles, they move in time to music. Music is truly our native language. Its universality is one of many reasons it was so important to the real Shakespeare, who was said to have a professional level of proficiency in music. And he used musical tropes more than any contemporary playwrights, with word play on both the literal meaning; as well as the technical musical meaning.

Шедевр! Величественно, проникновенно, глубоко! Исполнение на высочайшем художественном и профессиональном уровне! Нет выше музыки, чем музыка прославляющая Господа нашего Иисуса Христа! Пярт, Васкс, Губайдулина, Шнитке - гениальные композиторы, проповедники слова Божьего через музыку!

You can feel God in this

Grandiose et Magnifique

[@Nymphya]

Beyond. It might be the most sublime piece of music ever written. And this performance was breathtaking. The soprano soloist. . . how can anyone sing so purely and lightly and sweetly? The ending brought me to tears after multiple, ecstatic goosebumps.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

Breathtakingly lovely.

[@amulyakumar4249]

Hearing this the first time, I must say it is stunning how it can be so ultra modern and so immemorially archaic at the same time. That makes it something unique (or I have to listen to much more or Arvo Pärt) and transcendental.

[@fxbigtoelilzoui1696]

8:16 Absolutely sublime.

[@fxbigtoelilzoui1696]

It indeed is quite perfect, there is really nothing say when something is perfect.

[@ricardogarces9680]

Que paz se siente.

[@ChollieD]

Thanks very much for this! Great presentation. If I may suggest, add a minute of the applause at the end. I always like hearing the acknowledgement of the audience.

[@dongaede3806]

The Master Chorale of San Luis Obispo, CA will be performing the piece this week. After listening to this, I am so looking forward to having a moving experience.

[@JAEFORDbeats]

Looking forward to performing this tomorrow with the SLO Master Chorale!
