Everybody gangsta till Lacrimosa starts playing...

Facts

[@birthe9439]

I don't know if someone has told you before or you've looked it up, but when you said "who has hurt you", Mozart was actually dying (only 35 years old) when he wrote the Requiem and never actually completed it. Of the Lacrimosa, he only wrote the first 8 bars. The requiem was later completed by Mozart's friend and colleague Süssmayr. There's a lot of stories surrounding the Requiem and it's worth having a look at the Wikipedia page.

[@GIDIREACTS]

Yeah I remember that, we watched a scene from the movie where he was composing confutatis. I really gotta watch it!

[@ClaudiaWarnke]

Thank you for your appreciation and reactions to Mozart 's music. I come from a classical music training ....and Mozart has always been my favorite. I love seeing people discover Mozart and classical music .. . Keep up discovering.

[@Xemptuous]

Confutatis is, in my opinion, his greatest work, as well as his last truly completed work. The image of the dying 35 year old composer with such talent writing this; you can almost feel him crying onto the paper as he says his goodbyes to the beauty of music he was gifted with hearing and giving to the rest of us.

[@pianoman1857]

12:00 actually Mozart composed only few of the first bars of this piece. He died and then one of his student completed it :) Next part is “Domine Jesu Christe”, personally my favorite. It’s written as if it was a fugue. Pay attention when the choir repeats “Quam olim Abrahæ” (best part)

[@aswomebro2601]

quam olim abrahae is def my favorite

[@RequiemAeternam01]

The American pianist and musicologist Robert D. Levin actually discovered a fugue titled "Amen" that was originally meant to be placed between the Lacrimosa and Domine Jesu Christe. It was written before he wrote Lacrimosa, but was never inserted into the manuscript because of Mozart's sudden death.

... promisisti, et semini eius.

[@Johnadams20760]

actaully ths is the last part he completed the whole thing of. everyting afer this he did sketches for

[@SarahYasmineXO]

The rite of spring is going to blow your mind when you listen to it.

[@GIDIREACTS]

Looking forward to hearing that!

[@carlrosa1130]

I am an absolute addict of Beethoven. I cannot get enough of nearly anything he composed. In fact, I traveled to Europe twice to visit his grave, birthplace, monuments of his work and effort. But Mozart had an ability that Beethoven never grasped. Beethoven is extraordinary but Mozart's ability to improvise (and piano playing) is nothing short of legendary. Mozart set the standard for music in the classical period. And the Lacrymosa...nothing short of transcendent.

[@cheesyingot7374]

To be honest, you are actually my favourite reaction KZbinr :p Love the reactions!!! Hope ur doing ok.

[@GIDIREACTS]

Appreciate the love! I’m doing well wbu

[@desiredmanga]

Always a pleasure to see your reactions! Next one is my favourite part of the requiem "Domine Jesu Christe", so I'm gonna keep an eye on you! I know most of the people believes lacrimosa is the climax, but to me nothing gets better as the fugue in that part.

[@saldana7395]

Yeah I love that movement as well!!! The first time I've heard the fugue I was amazed, I couldn't believe I didn't heard that before.

[@Bearlover1995]

Thank you kindly for your reactions. I read all the comments and whenever I see something I'm not familiar with, I can search and listen to it. 🙏

[@claudiosilva4301]

Lindo demais... Parece o hino dos anjos... Mozart é demais...

[@catsara9114]

The Lacrimosa ... We have sung the Requiem with our choir a couple of times. Every time I have to really compose myself not to get too emotional during singing. Also, I never look at the audience 😅

[@riley2120]

I’m glad you’re enjoying this! Keep up the reaction videos!

[@Gorilla_Jones]

The second movement is the literal manifestation of absolution in auditory form. An absolute beauty…

[@KHRAKE]

I love that you upload regulary and keep the content coming!

[@GIDIREACTS]

Appreciate you watching 😉

[@bearieroblox6451]

You asked what was he going through, well he was dying the entire time he was writing requiem, he never even got to hear it played. Dying the day he finished writing it.

[@ConstanzeWeber]

I really hope you seek out an opportunity to actually go to a concert like this, seeing this in person is another level!

[@codonauta]

Mozart´s Requiem is a very peculiar composition, it was a great composer creating a funeral Mass (a Requiem) while he was dying. We never had this set of circumstances working together neither before nor after this Requiem.

[@gogotrololo]

11:40 Mozart was writing this on his death bed, after suffering through debt, losing his father, and after being poisoned slowly by someone who hated his success. He died before finishing the Requiem, and it was finished by one of his students. It's why it's so heavy

[@egapnala65]

Salieri did not poison Mozart, that was a 19th century myth. Lots of composers died young. Schubert, Pergolesi, Arriaga to name but a few. Life was hard back then generally. Even Mozart's obviously biggest influence and friend Josef Myslivecek was in his early 40's when he died if I recall right.

[@gogotrololo]

@@egapnala65 yeah I can't really argue with you on that one, I've heard people say he was riddled with disease when he died... Which only serves to support that he just died young from being around sickness in a hard period for life expectancy in Europe in general...... But the poisoning myth is also just sensational enough to be true, I don't like to be in the American mindset of "a court can't prove it, so you can't believe that story". Mozart seems like exactly the type of figure to draw an assassination in a time when people were also brutally murdered and enslaved en masse, so it stands to reason that the myth could be true, but dismissed as "fake news" by people who would want to cover their tracks in something so high profile

[@egapnala65]

@@gogotrololo If I remember rightly it was started in a play by Pushkin which was made into an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov. I think you could probably get away that when Salieri was a little known figure, there is a strong body of evidence that Salieri did things like block Mozart from a few career progressions but I'm pretty sure he was not the kind of man to dispose of others like that. From what I gather the two were actually friendly rivals and Salieri continued to champion Mozart's works after the latter's death.

[@thomaslichtenberger1880]

I just happened to come across your channel and think it's fantastic how you approach classical music and bring it to others. Lacrimosa you have often addressed and certainly heard. For a short mediation I recommend the following short clip. It shows Lacrimosa in Mozarts handwriting and only what he actually wrote himself is performed.

[@dinorex2082]

I would recommend ernst last rose of summer if you like sadder and more complicated pieces the best interpretation in my opinion would be that of maxim vengerov.Thank you for your efort that you put in this reactions to post them in time.

[@emiliogutierrez7415]

I really recommend you react to “Nessun Dorma” sung by Luciano Pavarotti. It’s opera music so a bit different than classical but still an amazing piece of music.

[@Dylonely42]

He definitely must listen. 3 minutes of eargasm.

Mozart's requiem is not something you want to listen to if you're depressed.

[@WorldifySanity]

I actually find that it's perfect!

[@Ziad3195]

Oh my god, I love this video so much 😂

[@kaushiksunapu5657]

11:40 this had me laughing..''who hurt you" 😂😂

[@TheTrueAltoClef]

After finishing the requiem, I'd recommend listening to the unfinished version for context. 2 other suggestions I have is When David Heard by Eric Whitacre (which is the scariest piece of music I ever heard) and Nearer My God To Thee performed by the BYU choir. When David Heard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpC0haxvf82da80&ab_channel=MichaelHanawalt Nearer My God To Thee: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jarbiXqafJhgf9E&ab_channel=BYUVocalPoint

[@agricolaurbanus6209]

Try the Giuseppe Verdi Requiem in comparison. _Messa da Requiem_

[@williamcarbajal383]

As amazing as this whole thing is... They always do it too fast, almost everyone who performs this... They need to take their time... Still, such an amazing listen 🤤

[@featherineaugustusaurora3416]

Really great Reaction,I see you're getting interested with Mozart(do you?)

[@GIDIREACTS]

I am, this requiem has really got me invested!

[@jeromejerome9395]

I recommend Mahler 2nd and 8th sympony finales.

[@Dylonely42]

Best finales ever imo

[@עידוכהן-ל6פ]

Hello!!! I love your reactions) Wanna fly away again? Please, please, please listen to Tchaikovsky Hymn of the Cherubim. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYHPfGh-rKurmdk This is very strange but very special. It was written for orthodox church. Please, listen! You won't be disappointed! Thank you 😊
