Lacrimosa (Requiem de W.A. Mozart) - Ensemble Sottovoce

[@tonynewton3895]

one of the best versions I have heard ..simple... stripped back .. awesome young singers

[@harrye1626]

These are Mozart's last notes. During the Lacrimosa, Mozart's handwriting broke. One can actually hear and feel that great soul's farewell when listening... and eternity shimmers from afar.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

I have to agree!! I was moved to tears listening. I could literally feel the man's heartbreak. Amazing. Blows my mind literally every time that I can still be so moved by a piece of music that was written centuries ago!

[@Aqalad2781]

@@christopherpericolosi-king4979 Turns out, 90% of the song isn't actually made by him, but by a pupil of his, since he died later on and never got to finish it.

[@kael7953]

mm...were you there?

[@harrye1626]

@@Aqalad2781 Absolutely correct. For sure, 90% of the Lacrimosa's musical notation was completed by Franz Xaver Süßmayr, Mozart's pupil. However, Mozart had still been able to provide the basic structure, harmonics and other key foundations for the Lacimosa and for most of the entire K. 626, so that Süßmayr was certainly able to complete the Lacrimosa and most of the remaining Requiem in the sense and style of his master. The Lacrimosa has never been challenged of being not 'Mozartian' enough - as opposed to the last 4 parts of the Requiem (Sanctus-Bendictus-Agnus Dei-Offertorium), which to many listeners (including myself) appear to be of sub-Mozartian quality.

[@mjremy2605]

@@kael7953 Were you? Cheeky comment!

[@michaelmiller1215]

Anyone who hasn’t sung the Mozart Requiem has no idea of how challenging it is to sing and his Chorus as a Solo Quartet!

[@ishiyamaaa]

As a Bass singer I find that most of it is not too difficult. However... when it comes to Kyrie....that is a different story 😂

[@robert111k]

En general es bastante tirante para los tenores, no sé si para las demás cuerdas, pero salvo el Kyrie, que es muy complicado vocalmente, el resto es muy agradable de cantar. A veces puede parecer absurdo cuando ensayas tu parte pero todo cobra sentido cuando se unen las voces. Todo encaja, incluso en el Sanctus.

[@piccolo1501]

It's EZ

[@sophiedevries5455]

My school has a choir and this year we sing dies irae and lacrimosa. and it's SO damn DiFiCUlt😂😂but it's also an honor to sing cuz it's beautyful. (I'm a soprano btw)

[@sambaritone]

My favorite part to sing was the “Tuba Mirum”. Of course, the trick was the end of the phrase, “spargens so------num”

[@markmiller3516]

The soprano sounds like an angel.

[@frenchfideo]

Alto melody is really precious even when many people prefers to hear soprano voice.

[@frogmouth]

There isn't an alto part sop 1 sop 2

Youth sings about eternity with the music of genius. I'm proud of humanity.

[@savannagrace2003]

there’s something really chilling about knowing that mozart composed this piece as he was on his deathbed.

[@josefwolff5431]

But he didn't write it. Stupid people still confuse Hollywood fiction with facts. Mozart was a fraud and a mean little shit and a crook and a cheating ass hole.

[@Kevin-be9iy]

Josef Wolff but did you know he was writing this requiem and he wasn’t gonna get credit for it. watch the documentary on his requiem before you comment

[@Jack-wl9wl]

I live in Salzburg, where Mozart was born, i sing in a choir and can say that Mozart died exactly at 00:52

[@LECAPITAINEJACK]

@@Jack-wl9wl That is correct, he died on December 5, 1791 at 12:52 am. I read that too somewhere when I visited Salzburg. R.I.P. Wolfy.

[@woode__]

Josef Wolff he actually did, but only the first 8 bars, from “lacrimosa dies illa”, but franz xaver sussmayr finished it

[@andrewbanks7472]

Wow. By only having one singer per part, one can really appreciate the inner voices in this :) Wonderful.

[@sandra02all49]

Hey, just wanted to say that both girls sang soprano (see end credit)!

[@Dilara-js7ek]

@@sandra02all49 i think one is just regularly a soprano but sang the alto part hear. I know you can't really distinctly hear her but from the movement alone i think it is pretty clear.

[@littleo353]

My wife's many year church choir director - a truly gifted man kind've at Mozart's level - used to say: "Beethoven sometimes reaches to the heavens. Mozart lives there." This choir director had music in his DNA. I saw him direct a church choir and a bell-choir that accompanied it but one person had not showed up so he played that person's bells too WHILE he directed the entire choir. So he was directing the musicians AND the bell choir AND the many-person singing choir AND played one set of bells for good measure. Spectators were shaking their head in amazement as to what was a miracle. I imagined what it must have been like to witness Mozart.

[@carine9342]

A little anemic without the orchestra perhaps but with those voices... absolutely brilliant. Lovely voices.

[@ishiyamaaa]

At 2:07 you hear the same music from Introit representing the circle of life being completed - the end of Mozart's life. It comes after a more joyful and longing passage around 1:45 . Although only my thoughts, I believe this to show Mozart's longing for joy and life yet he knows that his time has come. It is truly magnificent - this music will be in my heart forever.
