Arvo Part - De Profundis

De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine,
Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine,
ut timeamus te.
Sustinui te, Domine,
sustinuit anima mea in verbo eius;
speravit anima mea in Domino
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israel in Domino,
quia apud Dominum misericordia,
et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israel
ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.

Whenever I listen to this, it reminds me of Mama (2013) since someone did a video of every scene of Mama that had this music. They should really have this as a horror movie theme, it would fit as perfect as a jigsaw puzzle. Edit: gosh, 8 years since I put this here, I was such a different person in 2016. I have to say, this is so... it's just purely indescribable, even to me who's an atheist. It's magnificent, is all I can say.

[@OneBirdAllStoned]

+Dr. Virus hahaha same video is why im here and yeah it wne t really well with the mama video

[@harukatakahashi8822]

moviejunkies

[@Asertix357]

+Dr. Virus 129 That's the reason I'm here too. But the music seemed a lot sadder with that video than scary actually.

[@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_]

+Dr. Virus 129 Same here, pretty good video. Also this music reminds me of Bloodborne.

[@santiagosancho2317]

+Dr. Virus 129 it depends of the movie, its super sad more than scary.

[@lucianamendonca3252]

nossa como pude viver todo esse tempo sem conhecer isso......que coisa magnífica!!!!! Sublime!!!

[@KGMDMusic]

To me,the essence of any creativity comes from the energy all around and within us.It does not matter what form the creativity takes.I have always felt the more open minded we become to the energies given out by the natural elements around us the more creative we can become,we almost become a conductor allowing ideas to become reality. I am not a religious person,I just try to except and enjoy every moment I am given and understand that we are so so fragile.

[@josephstephenson8205]

Such a banging tune!

[@Yoshi4990]

MAGNIFICO!

[@MrWackypackages]

1 - Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: 2 - Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. 3 - If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it. 4 - For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word: 5 - my soul hath hoped in the Lord. 6 - From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. 7 - Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. 8 - And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

[@EduNauta95]

With the lyrics the song takes you to a whole different level. One can understand the motivations of the tone of the song, you relate even better to what it tries to transmit. Here, this ancestral christian sense of having sinned and pleading God for mercy.

[@20123933]

Obrigada

[@highecuador1873]

Lying on my bed with all the windows blacked out to this.

[@POPPEA2010]

Hilliard Ensnemble ... extraordinaire ...

[@suellenmsc]

Grande

[@AnEnemy100]

A paradox. This music for which I feel the strongest affinity is often inspired by religion, for which I feel nothing. I worship this idol happily.

[@JalalSela]

Arvo Pärt... everytime I listen to his music I get in a state of... I don't know how to explain it, I feel that my existence is questionable,it is amazing how the language of music can express something so deep,so real. I believe that music can solve %90 of humans problems,because as we all know, to solve a problem,the first thing we need is to understand the source of it.Music is a language that can't be translated,it's impossible,yet it is the language of the universe.Thanks for sharing this

[@verdesbotas]

Good morning KZbin User's. Beautiful song, exactly to listen wake-up. Congratulations to Arvo Pärt, because their work's are for God. I like.

[@Ingridsoleil1]

The music goes under my skin! Breathtaking beautiful the sincerity and devotion of the voices. Thank you from my heart dear Arvo. Ingrid

[@polarbear242]

From the depths I cry out for you....

[@xjuanp]

Blows my mind, stirs my spirit.

[@chuspita2009]

This is a better record that the others De profundis I have listened in youtube... Thanks a lot!

[@pepilupis]

this music make me feel the connection between us and the eternity

[@Sooch694]

Thank You int13h for this haunting piece. I listen to it a lot. Like many people I first heard it in Dead Man's Shoes. God Bless you and yours

[@dengie75]

what a beautifull photograph, no pretension just a little symbolism, very peacefull as mr partt must be

[@praxylite]

when I was 7 I realised that there was no Santa Claus. Christmas was never the same for me after that. As an aethiest I feel the same way about religiously themed music. Something like this is sublimely beautiful. I might not agree with Part's inspiration, but the result is undeniably brilliant !.

[@praxylite]

a man whose work will be remembered for centuries.

[@mastemcc]

this very good , worthy of praise. he is a great composer

[@TheRoachDoggJR]

"So your soldiers speak latin?" "No, just one."

[@steverlfs]

I had never heard this composer's music before. I am stunned!

[@kenfuller7374]

I heard this for the first time yesterday, this is amazing stuff to me, can't stop listening to it.

[@123must]

One of the best of Part !!! Thank you a lot for sharing

[@82joly]

molto bello hai ragione poi la musica è meravigliosa.......ti dà un senso di serenita pace gioia e tranquilità...........

[@radiussconebag9163]

great spirit music

[@tzikidusha]

even after it's finished, it's like I can still hear the voices and his music in the silence, echoing in my ears

[@daoldstyler]

Bravo maestro, Bravo Arvo Pärt.

[@juancastri77]

I never heard him. Trè Magnifique. Maravilloso. Mi fa piacere.

[@AidanNJ]

Exquisite! Truly profound composition.

[@MargarethMargareth]

This Is so...music not of this world...beautiful!

[@rstrong1]

For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

[@mireillecarpentier8844]

FANTASTIQUE LOVE LOVE NICE NCE BRAVO!A VOUS

[@DelendaEstCarthago1]

5 - my soul hath hoped in the Lord. 6 - From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. 7 - Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. 8 - And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

[@mireillecarpentier2786]

la plus belle voix qui perce la peau et âme merci amen

[@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_]

Here because of a video on MAMA(2013) great music, heavily reminds me of Bloodborne.

[@demiraydemir3033]

or dark souls :D

[@siffegy]

its more bloodborne than dark souls

[@marievalois2392]

to jest piękne 😘

[@243CJ]

Out of the depths I cry to you, sir O Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who shall stand? My soul waits for the Lord From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord, For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities

[@voce29]

There are other dimensions that Arvo Paert's music enters and for a moment we are lifted out of our reality.

[@eschecs]

thank you, i really needed this!

[@dezybear7879]

This song gives me chills XD I listen to this on long car rides.

[@johnebgood108]

wow thanks for posting this!!!!!

[@pademu1]

meraviglioso!

[@jonesj910]

out of this world...

[@xMissVaagheid]

I love you....

[@noblumoon]

@Kaidelong thank you, that makes sense, and listening to it again, I find it more peaceful,,,I must admit, I often have to listen to some music 3 or 4 times before I appreciate it....

[@mireillecarpentier8844]

merveilleux namasté...Amen

[@rstrong1]

Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice: Let This ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If Thous, Lord, shouldnst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope. More than they that watch for the morning, let Israel hope in the Lord.

[@zorby1008]

This music gives me vibes that I can't explain. It's like I'm terrified, but touched at the same time. Like, there's more to this universe than we think, life wise. I'm very scared right now.

[@RainerLienert]

Lovely Pärt !!!!!

[@MisterAwestasia]

It's like recognizing and seeing men as moving abysses with only a hint of beauty in them. That endless stream of horrid, vile, and horror that comes from the evil we commit and yet this song sees that spark of inhuman beauty that lies within us all. We have but a spark of beauty amongst the rest of our abyss. That's what the song makes me feel.

[@amusementless]

The reason is religion has no life but relationship with God brings great satisfaction.

[@RinLockhart]

loving this track!

[@j.lunatic911]

¡Excelso!

[@Borussiasempervictor]

Diese Musik ist Europa. Unmöglich sich vorzustellen, dass diese Musik aus Afrika oder Lateinamerika kommen könnte. Oh, Europa, in Deinem Schoss mein deutsches Vaterland ... Danke

Beautiful, thank you int13h

[@DelendaEstCarthago1]

1 - Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: 2 - Lord, hear my voice.

My soul hath relied on his word:

[@minamuusika]

super ! LOve Pärt Arvo:D

[@yourforte]

Beautiful.

[@Tazdingoyahahahahaha]

Reminds me of The Elder Scrolls 5:Skyrim

[@Songy23]

@JalalSela..... like the music takes a hold of your soul.... cleanses it from the bottom and fills it with pure energy.... his music is so powerful and strong, even though on the score there is nothing really there. It feels as though your soul is reaching out and..... how else to explain it? like you said, cant be translated........

[@littlerainworm550]

mega existencional music.essencional, fundamental, substancional spiritual essence of the universe

[@bkb0000]

love it.

[@Solitudinis]

I have no religion but I respect them all. For me, a writer, Art is much more than what you described. Of course, there must exist a certain background but an educated mind and a free spirit brings much more of Art than Religion ever did. btw Religion borrowed from Nature, the faith of others, their willing in reverencing a greater being and their fear of merely existing. To each its own.

[@GAP120GAP]

De profundi clamavi at de domine.

[@Solitudinis]

Christianity is the center motif in that all. One may paint a wall in different colors but it doesn't stop being a wall.

Great !

[@PsychosisFire]

Absolutely soulful. Part (sorry, I don't know how to bring up the accented 'a') is a musical genius.

[@80myalex]

[@zandorjohnson4845]

Ааа теперь понял

[@Solitudinis]

@ryandtrimble I have no religion since late teens and it doesn't stop me from enjoying Art. It has no boundaries for the spirit's urge for knowledge.

[@rstrong1]

De profundis clamavi ad te Domine: Domine exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae. Si iniquitates observaveris Domine: Domine quis sustinebit. Quia apud te propitiatio est: et propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus: speravit anima mea in Domino. A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israel in Domino. Quia apud Dominum misericordia: et copiosa apud eum redemptio. Et Ipse redimet Israel ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.

[@mrsunwalker1]

the best one

[@AnOwlinDaylight]

amazing

[@denysmartins11]

@JalalSela F Great words kind feel the same.

[@MarryWitch94]

Most beautiful poem in Latin.

[@BillandBenRgangstas]

I know what you mean i've been humming little harmonies whilst listening.

[@e3song]

Psalm 130 (partial translation): Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.

[@JGS007]

@Sawyervilleman It's one of the Penitential Psalms. If you're a fan of Renaissance music you have likely heard it, since almost anyone of note at that time set it musically. Do a search on Psalm 130 and you'll get a translation.

[@kfwm1970]

profound!

[@panos3505]

Basso profundo & countertenor

[@tubafatness]

The "tintinnabular" section at 1:32 is simply fantastic.

[@rococoness]

Arvo knows how to touch people's souls

[@Yoshi4990]

Perfecto

[@Solitudinis]

I agree!

[@TheJuliusJT]

So very dark, so very powerful

[@chosha3296]

Some of the lyrics seem to be off - when I'm trying to sing along with the given lyrics (in the description), I run into what sounds like an altered version of the middle. :o

[@firstlast9632]

excellent

[@GrandRenewal]

Arvo Part describes his experience through music. He is expressing the Radiance of Divinity as he is able. Words cannot describe the ineffable, but music is a better vehicle of expression. Religion is simply a facsimile, telling of perception of the formless Divinity. Not until one has surrendered to Divinity, and begins to experience that Presence within, does religion have meaning. Then the Essence of Divinity is known. Until surrender, the paradox remains, as does the vacuum within.

[@WebsterAnn]

@mattew2221 It's called Mystic or Holy Minimalism. Part and Henryck Gorecki write in a style similar to the music written for the Catholic church during the renaissance and pre-renaissance eras. If you want "holy" voices, look up William Byrd, Benjamin Britten, and Thomas Tallis to get you started.

[@tbknol]

Well said "AnEnemy100" same here.

[@everydaywarriors]

It's great to see the number of views.

[@natalyacomposer]

@vautrinlarose no, but if you look for Frederic Rzewski's "De Profundis" you will hear Oscar Wilde's words actually used.

[@ReminiscenceHr]

The eye of God, or is it maybe God Himself in music, or in a single note? Or is it simply man? Or is it both, in One? Or is it nothing? I feel my image of the world is getting distorted every time I try to resolve the mystery of perception and understanding. Until I am able to comprehend the entire world within its infinite, tiny, beautiful things, my soul will not rest. And until then I can only let it float on the wings of this distant prayer.
