Dies irae by Zbigniew Preisner - Elżbieta Towarnicka (The Crown)

[@arldoran]

This is from his "Requiem for my Friend"; a requiem he composed after his best friend, famous Polish movie director Krzysztof Kieslowski's untimely passing at the age of 54. For many people, Requiem for my Friend is a masterpiece at the level of Mozart's Requiem, if not higher. I am one of them.

[@kamilr442]

One of the best polish classical musician nowadays

[@hpars]

agree, "Dies irae" an "Lacrimosa" by Preisner are absolutely incredible

[@stjopuszka]

Its about Elzbieta Towarnicka :)

Such an amazing life lived.

[@hvchimi]

Absolutely beautiful, prodigiously sung, this is just genius.

[@jujumikhailovitchF83]

This is so divinely pure but possibly dark at the same time... wonderful. I love it.

[@hpars]

I have the same feelings when I listen to this

[@asokbiswas8225]

how is it dark?

[@abandoneduniverses]

indeed.well said.

[@jujumikhailovitchF83]

I think it could be dark, in a strange mystical way. Imagine a glorious church on a gloomy day, stormy weather, while something very intense is (or might be) happening. This music could fit in so many movie scenes, beautiful or sad, creepy even.. it touches my imagination ^^

[@FrenchToast663]

​@@asokbiswas8225 It can be interpreted as dark because this is a requiem, a requiem for a friend to be exact. So, a requiem playing as the characters make their way to a wedding is sad and dark

I keep coming back to this wonderful upload of the best version of Dies Irae ever. It's 3:17 am and this has been on loop since the last 6 hours, while I was working on a project

[@emmanuelfuenmayor5056]

This is so majestic, and at the same time so traggic. It truly portraits the scene: a happy prince Margaret being married, all the greatness and power in one ceremony yet, the person she got as life companion so dark and twisted.

[@clareh.2788]

Great comment!

[@valardohaeris333]

Thank you so much for compiling all the sung parts together so that we can avoid the pauses in the original piece :)

[@SeddieWeddie]

Rex tremendae majestatis, Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis. Ingemisco tamquam reus : Culpa rubet vultus meus : Supplicanti parce, Deus. Dies irae, dies illa Solvet saeclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla. O king of dreadful majesty, Who grantest grace and mercy free, Grant mercy now and grace to me. I groan beneath the guilt which thou Canst read upon my blushing brow, But spare O God thy suppliant now. That day of wrath and grief and shame, Shall fold the world in sheeted flame, As David’s psalm and Sibyl’s songs proclaim.

[@dusanpetrovic1181]

[@simsandwins8998]

They used the requiem in the crown?! Guess i should start watching. This is hands down my favorite requiem, preisner is a genius

yes for princess’s margaret wedding

Thank you. I have already added the info

[@MichaelBlanksonGolf]

Phenomenal track. 🙏🏾

[@GrzegorzJakubowski]

Ten utwór to już ma wiele wiele lat. Z 20 lat to ma na pewno, bo pamiętam jak w 2005 roku leciał na National Geographic po śmierci papieża Jana Pawła II.

[@GrzegorzJakubowski]

Szkoda, że nie mam kasety VHS z tym nagraniem, bo bym wrzucił na yt.

[@agnieszkalen4925]

Bo pochodzi z kompozycji Requiem for my friend napisanej i wydanej po śmierci Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego. Jeden z najpiękniejszych albumów muzyki poważnej. Album wydany w 1998 po śmierci Kieslowskiego.

[@geekosa63]

I really like this song, so pure....

[@Ksixstring]

If you like this, type in lacrimosa. Soundtrack from the tree of life. Very haunting.

[@paulc3037]

Lacrimosa was used to stunning effect in The Tree of Life, but it was conceived as part of a tribute to the late Polish film director Krzysztof Kieslowski - check out Preisner's Requiem For My Friend, it's a masterpiece! :)

[@equinoxetm4132]

Yes!

[@randomperson1408]

YES

[@MrCameronian]

Amazing

[@arthurhallett-west5145]

[@marcmarti5273]

It is actually not sorted as the original latin text but here it goes: Rex tremendæ maiestatis, qui salvandos salvas gratis, salva me, fons pietatis. ... Ingemisco, tamquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus, supplicanti parce Deus. ... Dies iræ, dies illa, Solvet sæclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla! King of alminghty majesty thee that saves because of your grace save me, source of mercy ... I cry because I'm guilty The guilty blushes my face forgive, oh god, this supplicant ... That day it will be a day of wrath where world will be reduced to ashes just like David and Sibylla foretelled

Came here straight from the crown

[@bobo9537]

Me too. This is the first episode where I just fell in love and had to know the song(there are other episodes where I loved the music but already knew the songs and singers - Angel Eyes sung by Ella) but I immediately this one struck me with a passion to find out and searched for an hour til I found the right one.

[@kurobushi7746]

Bo Bo yeah.

[@SeddieWeddie]

Bo Bo I love when they use Lacrimosa

[@purpledyeimmortal4119]

[@RajVerma-ng1xo]

[@lonelyqueen86]

If you look up the meaning of the words, turns out this is actually a dirge or funeral song. I am fascinated that it was used as a wedding song for Margaret. Why?

[@grabthemonets]

I mean her marriage was doomed. It was probably foreshadowing to the failure of the marriage that we see in season 3.

[@sitamun7598]

Also, in season 2, both Margaret and Tony were a very toxic couple. The audience was already very uncomfortable with their relationship and at the wedding, no one watching felt like this marriage was going to last.

[@paulc3037]

It was written as part of Preisner's Requiem For My Friend, a tribute to the wonderful, late, Polish film director Krzysztof Kielsowski with whom Preisner collaborated with many times. It's an album of two halves (the "Requiem" and a concept section called "Life"), both are astonishing! Check it out! :)

[@eat.snickers1214]

hi anyone knows how the track, song, or the theme music is called that step up in the serie The crown and in other movies f.e. the big Lebowski? ??thx..so epic and romancy

Make downloading it to the library available again, please.

Beautiful. Especially with the ancient history of Westminster Abbey as the backdrop in the episode 'Matrimonium' - Princess Margaret's Wedding

[@caseycarr3339]

I do not know what they are saying but it’s most enchanting.

[@hpars]

there are some translations here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_irae

Quite adequate for today I guess... 08/09/2022

[@이동주-y8j7i]

i want to know english lyrics ...someone could share me translated lyrics?

[@hpars]

King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! Ingemisco, tamquam reus: Culpa rubet vultus meus: Supplicanti parce, Deus. Day of wrath and doom impending. David's word with Sibyl's blending, Heaven and earth in ashes ending.

[@hanzicn4258]

Is it the religion song?

[@hpars]

yes, it is used in Latin liturgy

[@ele9226]

When the season 3?

[@hpars]

I read that in November 2019

[@tywinlannister959]

17th of November

[@michaderstricha]

how people appreciate or care about good pieces of music only when its in their favourite tv show.....

[@IrisC17]

No one can possibly know all the music that exist in the world. We discover and learn to appreciate when we hear it for the first time. And that first time can be in an episode of a tv show. The're is nothing wrong about that.

[@michaderstricha]

@@IrisC17 you are right. its the tv show's fault not the people who appreciate it.

[@aniokay]

They have to discover it first

[@washierlosalter]

@@michaderstricha So you are basically saying, that it's the fault of the tv-show to intodruce masses of listeners to an otherwise probably unknown piece of art?

[@paulc3037]

If it brings people to the source (Preisner's Requiem For My Friend) then that's a good thing, surely?

[@johannesporphyrius5739]

So bad😂
