ઓ અતિ ઉત્કૃષ્ટ સંતો, જ્યારે હું મૃત્યુની નજીક હતો, ત્યારે તમે મારી પાસે આવ્યા, તમે મને ઉત્સાહિત કર્યા, તમે મને આશીર્વાદ આપ્યા, તમે મને આશીર્વાદ આપ્યા, તમે મને આશા આપી, તમે મારામાં જીવન પાછું મૂકી દીધું, ઓ શું હું ઈચ્છું છું કે હું તમારા જીવનને આશીર્વાદ આપી શકું, તમે મને કેવી રીતે આશીર્વાદ આપ્યા તેના એક હજારમા ભાગને પણ હું તમારા જીવનને આશીર્વાદ આપી શકું. તમે જીવનમાં મહાન સુખ અને આનંદ જાણો, કારણ કે તમે એક સંત છો.

The solemnity of this performance is irreplaceable , and beyond description, This music has a incomparable solemnity FromTokyo

[@ricardojulianiribarrhen3851]

Que solemnidad ... incomparablemente bello!

[@lefourbelyon]

straight to the soul !!!! great interpretation !

[@joelblahnik6429]

the "Soul" of Central European peoples; somber and heavy. I taught in Czechia for 30 years and experienced many such "moments" as illustrated by this experience and composed some works in the same style and shared with my colleagues there. A beautiful "depth" experience. Brass and funerals very common in CZ.

Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DMSProduktions]

Real horrorshow droogs! It me the hairs on the beck of me Gulliver stand up like malanki lizards, and a warm vibraty feeling down in my guttiwuts! (Just like what Bog sends in a moment of inspiration! )

[@rorycoker6601]

Fantastically good... and moving.

[@gothic-rosenovorossiya5740]

What a beauty! I totally admire original version but this is also something wonderful...

[@RachelsSweetie]

Love the percussion front and center.

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

"The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silver flamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders!"...Yes, Alex waxing nadsat wise.

[@legpetruchka2124]

Admirable

[@HarryMarcus1]

Solemne y majestuosa interpretación

[@hangug_gamja]

one of the best interpretation those deepness thank you

[@oldgeezerproductions]

First time I've ever heard these beautiful pieces played with tubas and yes, I am extremely impressed. The sackbut is the period instrument, this tuba band is every bit as emotionally engaging as the best I've heard.

[@mariopeiroespi7737]

Espectacular

[@hudsonbailey674]

Best ever! A chilling Introit for a monarch, this is. Auden would be a fitting eulogist/elegist were Queen Mary and Auden in coterminous a framework.

[@franklinsantos9686]

Magistral e solene. A morte celebrada com um requinte nunca visto.

[@guillermoroman7049]

sin palabras, me encantó

[@kikiu2619]

Fantastic!

[@pawebany6382]

This is pure metaphysics!

[@OlmoHerediaBlanco]

Hermoso. La marcha fúnebre queda preciosa con tubas

[@andrewmurray655]

Magic !!!!

[@ricardowallace2669]

Bellísima música

[@robertwilson123]

Beautifully in tune...

[@rolandoribes6758]

WOW! IMPRESIONANTE ENSAMBLE!

[@ew3rivera112]

Impressive!

[@grossleg123]

fantastic

[@shin-i-chikozima]

I feel like I'm wandering around in the sorrows in eternity

[@flmbouley4108]

C est magnifique

[@MandelTräd]

I did not know that these many tuba-players existed in the entire world. (^;

[@starpawsy]

Great use of drums.

[@missasinenomine]

I thought bass drums would have been better?

[@wolfgangk1]

WONDERFUL!!!!!

[@Saxporcuatro]

No sabía de tu canal de KZbin. Muy grande lo que haces. Enhorabuena mestre!!

[@Keepintouchtubaproject]

Muchas gracias Juanfran. Un abrazo muy grande🥰🥰🥰

[@mpa8336]

I enjoy hearing it played by tubas. Not the same as trumpets. I think it would sound great on kazoos. It would be most fascinating to hear this played by a pot gong orchestra, say in Thailand, or Indonesia.

[@prototropo]

Purcell is the font of processional majesty and the sound of grave pageantry, evoking the not-yet Baroque, or even the Reformation or Elizabethan drama, but the England of Gothic England. Handel, Elgar and Holst merely carried that crown and scepter forward.

[@christianhenrivasseur5524]

vraiment bravo ! Quelle profondeur, un son très riche peut être un peu lourd dans le passage en contrepoint dû à l'insrtrument lui-même mais quelle sonorité et interprétation !

[@19n05k83]

Please play this on my funeral!

[@thewolfpack5290]

This is the best!

[@irenelopez1570]

quiero que el día de mi funeral suene esto

[@heinrichwagner8179]

Garantiert---------sogar PURCELL hätte diese Darbietung gut und vielleicht sogar sehr gut gefunden. Denn im allgemeinen sind Komponisten keine Puristen. Si haben ihre Stil der ihren Empfindungen und ihrer Epoche entspricht, sind aber nicht unempfindlich und abgeneigt zu Neuem wenn es schön ist. Nehmen Sie dies als Antwort zu einem Kommentar hier und als Beitrag zu dessen Antwort. Mir gefällt die Darbietung und finde sie seh. gefühlsvoll den Willen von PURCELL nicht im geringsten verhunzend.

[@vsemprivet]

nice experiment. but after a while you cant help feeling that separating, say, choir to basses, tenors, alts and sopranoes is there for a reason. I can't imagine I would listen for hours to a choir consisting only of basses.

[@SvenForbes]

Ab 15:28 min großartig !!!

[@paulfaulkner8788]

Great sound! His interpretation of 'Thou Knowest Lord' is not quite there. He is obviously not a singer.

[@Destrock]

Ah too bad. I was hoping for the whole 19 min to be as good as the "march" first two min. It's a funeral song but I wanted the death to be changed into life, with high rises of joy.

[@MsieurLeProf]

Coucou

[@jeffreyspringborg4285]

The sonorities are lovely, but I really don't think the music needed any type of arrangement; when Purcell wrote the pieces, I'm sure he had a certain sound in mind, don't you?

[@robertodebeers2551]

Interesting without timpani.

[@IvanGreindl]

The problem is that the tubas are giving a very different sound than trumpets... Solemnity and emotion are not at all of the same level. I'm not sure that this masterwork needed an "arrangement"... Sorry!

[@hangug_gamja]

"that the tubas are giving a very different sound than trumpets." - that was what i loved so you should like this interpretation kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4qofXSrbs2kmrc

[@missasinenomine]

Siegfried's Funeral march? Wagner would be jealous!

[@jmrecillas]

Estoy de acuerdo con quienes están en desacuerdo con este (des)arreglo. Para empezar, el funeral en cuestión es un asunto solemne, de gran intimidad. La música compuesta por Purcell buscaba honrar a la reina en su más íntima dignidad, no buscaba un circo ni algo que se alejara de ese solemne acto final. Es demencial usar tanta tuba en vez de las trompas y sacabuches originales. Al tener tantos instrumentos, naturalmente hay que recurrir a un tambor moderno, que no suena igual que los tambores destemplados que la versión original exige. Por no mencionar la afinación de los instrumentos modernos, tan distinta de la de aquella época. En efecto, esta versión parece el Titanic, pues hace agua por los cuatro costados. Sólo le falta hundirse.

[@FMolTo]

Menos circo y menos Titanic, no te gusta y estás en tu derecho

[@HERNAN1960]

Bajo esa idea cualquier músico de ahora debería limitarse a copiar lo original y listo, pero ya ves que hay directores de orquesta que le dan su sello y que por ello son reconocidos mundialmente. Te pongo un ejemplo, el Adagio de Albinoni es majestuoso con un órgano, pero hay versiones con cello que llegan alma, no hay nada malo en la diferencia, si eres sensible a la maravilla de la música apreciarás la innovación, si solo te gusta la versión original se respeta tu posición.

[@juancosta5080]

pasando por alto todas las obviedades q se pueden advertir despues de presenciar este concepto de presentacion intrépida no me parece una falta de respeto para nada y solo lo tomo como algo q suma a la posibilidad de apreciar la musica desde diferentes perspectivas ESTA BIEN ESTA VERSIÓN! como una mas

[@Djanguitooooo]

The sound tho is so baaaad

[@crazyorganist1609]

This s so wrong on so many levels. Show some respect for the simplicity of the music. It doesn't need this many instruments

[@blaisecompton5636]

Crazy organist: So what exactly is wrong? Have extra notes been added? No ... there might have been a temptation to fill in the continuo in the choral sections, but that was resisted. Lots of very good tuba players have had an opportunity to participate in music that the purists would have banned them from ... in English cathedrals I have heard the same Jacobean anthem performed by an unaccompanied solo quintet ... by 10 singers with organ ... by 20 singers with doubling brass or viols ... the main thing is to get the music performed ... why do you think you have a unique and infallible insight into the spirit of music ... 2 friends of mine give themselves and their friends great pleasure with their own two-piano arrangements of all sorts of orchestral originals ... thank God we're not all purists.

[@tomsolon9766]

this sounds HORRIBLE using modern instruments. UGh.
