Ligeti: Requiem III Dies irae

[@elternschutz]

Erster, der Postillon richtig schreiben kann.

[@mopo6181]

Auch wegen Postillon hier? Ich zitiere: Laut Experten ist die passende Hintergrundmusik einer der Hauptfaktoren für gelungene Selbstbefriedigung. Fehler führen hier schnell zu Frust. Als sichere Wahl haben sich das "Dies Irae" aus dem Requiem von György Ligeti erwiesen. (Neben "Radetzky-Marsch" von Johann Strauss und Volksmusik) 👍😂 OK, und nun: Viel Spaß!

[@straycat452]

[@donjaime2373]

Can someone explain how this made it onto the "Soothing Opera Music" playlist?

[@Matyniov]

doesn't the end of the world relax you?

This comment just made my day! Thanks!

[@melissaduffy4]

Soothing?! Ha! 😂

[@Mr.Mimic2024]

Yes

[@wardm4]

"There is all my own fear in it, my real life experiences, a lot of terrifying childhood fantasies, and yet the music resolves all that as well. As if to say, we do not have to live in fear; or you could put it like this, we are certainly going to die but so long as we are alive we believe that we shall live forever." -- Ligeti in an interview with Peter Varnai.

Those two women... I can't work out whether I really like them or I'm really scared of them. They should be actresses or something haha.

[@joaocarvalho8840]

They are probably opera singers, I guess, so they are also actresses in some way. :)

„Hallo, ich wollte Sie nur kurz informieren dass ich heute Abend wieder masturbieren werde. Sie werden davon wahrscheinlich sowieso nichts mitbekommen aber ich wollte sie nicht uninformiert lassen.“

[@The_Str4nger]

damm this is creepy. That sound is so unearthly. Like from .......beyond

[@wisegurugirl]

This score was made of nightmares and fears, autor himself says.

[@alejov923]

Thanks. It is true that this music can be "difficult" at times, but for me is very touching as any traditional piece.

[@elcatrinc1996]

Verdi is stil my fav on the Dies Irae, but i can see how the message of Memento Mori can be expressed through this piece

[@socraticgadfly]

This reminds me of Schnittke's Requiem. If you like Penderecki and Ligeti folks, listen to him, too.

[@olivers.3669]

Loriot würde sagen "Das geht natürlich nicht so leicht ins Ohr wie Peter Alexander" (aus: der Kunstpfeifer)

[@Geo-ku1ql]

The fact that this was referenced in Poppy Playtime is cool but scary

[@carlolamberti1]

un capolavoro senza precedenti !!! una composizione di altissima levatura musicale, dove lo spazio siderale e la musica si coniugano e convivono con le figure e le silhouettes delle persone sulla linea dell' orizzonte !!! carlo lamberti

[@Saintseiya1997]

Creo con certeza que éste compositor capturó lo que es la muerte en verdad... no sonará armónico o melódico como el de Mozart, pero en ésta obra se captura la desesperación que atraviesa el que va a morir, la familia y quienes saben de su muerte... y como contraste, las partes calmadas, tensas, son la atmósfera ideal que representa el camino al más allá.

[@Gabrielcezar94]

I find modern pieces even more touching for me!

[@starkRECORDINGS]

Flawless, exceptional, intellectual, creative, genius, deep art. Amazing, breathtaking and outstanding.

[@Rahatlakhoom]

+1

[@Gabrielcezar94]

What I meant was something like: I enjoy most these dark views on music, and contemporary composers like Ligeti and Penderecki fit better for me... off course i love also the romantic composers and their music(though i don't like much the baroque period)... but answering your question: I love Penderecki's works, Ligeti's, And the moderns in general. For exemple, I can't help but get swept by this: Mysteries of the Macabre (G. Ligeti) par Barbara Hannigan - that´s the name of the video.

[@TonBil1]

Glad you like it. This is typically Ligeti's. There is a recording on CD with the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Jonathan Nott, which has been supervised by Ligeti in his last years. It is even more intense, I think. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

[@random-artifacts]

One of the best explorations of human voice. Music at its finest form. Instant love.

[@jackredelfs]

I feel sad for people who need their music to be easily digestible, shiny and non-threatening. I think of music the way I think of people: a person doesn't need to have beautiful looks to have fascinating thoughts, insights and opinions. Like David Merrick the Elephant Man, atonal music may seem off-putting on the surface but if you give it a chance you will discover hidden qualities that are invigorating and enriching. Of course, you don't have to listen to music you hate until you are desensitized--what's the fun of that? If Ligeti is too much for you, consider starting with music that is slightly atonal, like late Wagner, Strauss and Debussy and gradually work your way up. If it seems like a lot of pointless effort, trust me it is worth it. When I listen to Ligeti today, with well-trained ears, I hear incredible amounts of depth, intelligence and innovation. To never learn to appreciate this seems as limiting as painting with all colors except for brown. To each their own, I guess, but I personally love this piece and I plan on re-listening to it many times

[@dougjensen]

It is like foreign languages: if you know only English, then Chinese is going to sound weird to you, you have to learn that language to understand it. The atonal classical composers are writing in a different language than most people know and understand. When you learn their language, you know what they are writing and can appreciate at least some of it.

[@PlayLIekIdiots]

jackredelfs To me, there's something deeply disturbing about the human mind, its feelings and emotions. This composition, like most of Ligeti's work, captures that perfectly, that's what turns me off listening to it. Sometimes, we just need a bit of sugarcoating.

[@ChollieD]

Also, though it quite appropriately _doesn't_ show much in the Requiem, Ligeti was a quietly funny man, and his music is full of goofy good fun. That's another important way "in' for novices.

[@arealbigboss]

this sounds incredibly douchy

[@ChollieD]

arealbigboss We can't help it if we're better than the mouth-breathing Philistines who don't appreciate great 20th Century music. :P

[@Xiaddo100]

Wonderful. The vocal chords are treated as instruments in this music.

[@IvanAlexanderMoscotta]

Does anyone know who the Mezzo in this performance is? I would like to find more of her work. Her and Barbara Hannigan are wonderful.

[@ddsoco1]

@Akimych That's Barbara Hannigan. She's an amazing soprano from Canada. I worked with her once. She sang a piece by a Dutch composer named Ron Ford (I think).

[@kaleoride]

Those avant-garde musicians can get away with anything!!!!!

[@thepirelf]

Damn it, I love this stuff.

[@Dominian1]

Was this written as a joke on orchestras and got out of hand because people started to like it unironically?

[@alejov923]

I also have the same tastes in modern music. Early Penderecki is great, and the Mysteries of the Macabre are wonderful too. Sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Greetings.

[@KRLegion]

LO MEJOR DEL ARTE MUSICAL, ES MI PERSONALIDAD...

[@tooneysailor]

I cannot hear this the same because of poppy playtime

[@alejov923]

I think that is a matter of taste. What modern pieces do find more touching?

[@trollface_trololololo911]

Fun fact: mod games used the beginning sound (the first 8 seconds) in poppy playtime chapter 2 if y’all didn’t know that

[@nasrosubari49]

Hell's gates opening! What do you you expect?! (But tiny chorus for this piece! Barely audible)

[@Fedechiccaaa]

Intendevo con l'ultima frase: la nostra cultura oltre che "più avanti di noi" come dici tu è anche più aperta di noi... 500 caratteri sono troppo pochi!!!! va beh.. comunque io sono approdata a Ligeti solo grazie a Kubrick e a un mio amico... altrimenti non so se l'avrei conosciuto.. e ne è valsa la pena! :)

[@alejov923]

Would you translate your comments? Thanks!

[@littleblindberme]

I want to wish everybody a Merry chrismas and a hippy new year using this video as a chrismas and so I do .

[@griffysfnafchannel]

the beginning part is used in the mommy long legs chase sequence.

[@bigROBOTbill]

Stunning!

[@Fedechiccaaa]

Intendo dire cultura popolare: questa concezione di musica nn è parte del bagaglio di esperienze/conoscenze nostre comuni, esce dagli schemi cui siamo abituati. Poi riguardo alle radici culturali sono proprio ignorante, però mi viene da dire che non è proprio del tutto "nostra".. già prima che Ligeti nascesse c'era stata una bella "iniezione" di cultura esotica/orientale, poi essendo ungherese/rumeno.. la loro musica tradizionale è tutta diversa dalla nostra. Oltre che + avanti d noi è + aperta!

[@sorianolux]

Magnífico!

[@quar3]

POPPY PLAYTIME!?

[@Xiaddo100]

I hear vestiges of Carmina Burana in this exquisite composition.

[@TonBil1]

Monalisa, thanks for putting this here. Could you please put the names of those who perform this in the description. I have no clue. Thank you!

[@franksinbeans]

gotta love this atonal stuff

[@josesolismusic]

Ligeti doesn't need the approval of you, or anyone who doesn't have the knowledge or capacity to understand, appreciate or at least respect this. History is plagued with composers who have been laughed at by critics, public and even other composers, just to be remembered by history.

[@ninohideki]

really this is amazing, such a difficult scores to sing. The vocal part has to be at the same tune with that of the instrument. Can you imagine that!

[@Fedechiccaaa]

... more than music as I usually intend it. This is what I think about this music". mrTitan told that this music is precisely part of our culture, but that it is simply ahold of us. to sum up I answered: "I meant "popular culture", this cross the common man's patterns of thought - as regards musical culture/history I'm ignorant, it only seems to me that music received some exotic influence, but I'm not sure and plus Ligeti was hungarian/romanian - i know about him thanks to a friend and Kubrick

[@Fedechiccaaa]

Ti suggerisco di guardare "2001: odissea nello spazio" o "shining"... trovami colonne sonore che si adattino di più rispetto a quelle scelte da Kubrick.

[@earlyepitaph]

2:24 Now I KNOW the voice is an instrument.

[@Fedechiccaaa]

1th comment: "this kind of music is not part of our culture (in the sense of popular culture) so we don't understand it, but before saying "it is shit" it's better to think a little bit. I don't understand it too, but just try to put this on a score with your imagination: it's impossible! You know those tremendous nocturnal summer' storms? With howling wind among the trees and thunders that shake your house? I can't decode these sounds, and yet they penetrate on me and "move" something in me...

Как ты это слушал? Не понимаю...

[@Fedechiccaaa]

Questa musica non fa parte della nostra cultura perciò non la capiamo, ma prima di dire "merda" bisogna pensarci un attimo. Nemmeno io la capisco, ma prova anche solo a pensare di metterla su spartito: è impossibile. Hai presente quei tremendi temporali estivi notturni? Con il vento che ulula tra le piante e i tuoni che fanno tremare la casa? Non sono suoni che so decodificare, eppure mi penetrano e mi muovono dentro più di una musica, fatta come la intendo io. Per me questa musica è così.

[@redtexan7053]

This is just a little too jerky and obnoxious for me. Say I don't get it, or I'm too simple minded to understand, but this just pushes it too far. I know Legeti and those other composers like him are kinda like the modern artist of the classical music world, but most of it is pretty good. The other pieces are like the Campbell Soup Can. This one is like the painting that is literally nothing but a red square and is somehow so poised to mean something super deep.
