I often wonder, how many heavenly melodies humanity have missed out because of Mozart's short life. If God gave him just 5 more years, let's say he was able to live until he was 40, instead of 35, how many more great music and opera and songs we would have had today that no one else would be able to produce but him. Alas, these tunes were forever lost.

[@TheOnlyOneStanding8079]

Yes indeed we missed out on much more extraordinary human talent

[@javier265]

Yes, that question kind of haunts me. And I figure we could have seen how his music could evolve though the 19th century and romanticism, developing his own style in the new fashions. So sad man

[@ehaffner37]

The thought haunts me as well, and yet the man composed 626 original compositions in 35 years of existence. He was composing things at 17 that a polished and experienced composer at 45 would never be able to compose. Shoot, he was 26 when he composed this. What he produced in his short lifetime is embarrassing when compared to nearly any life’s cumulative production. So while it pains me to think of what we may have lost, how grateful I am that he worked so hard and passionately with the time that he had.

[@prager5046]

Have you thought that perhaps god was envy at Mozart who could create a world more beautiful that god could create himself -and so god had to kill him...

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

True indeed… And same goes for so many more great composers, such as Mendelssohn, for example. These are people of such talent, with such-and I’m not a religious person, but this next phrase seemed right to me nonetheless-heavenly direction!!! And yet they were plucked from us after what was seemingly an instant, coming to Earth in a flash like a lighting bolt, to dazzle us for a moment before they disappeared🤦🏻‍♂️But their music still remains, and it’s up to people like us to keep the flame alive in this world of Doja Cats and Chance the Rappers.

[@kitmoore9969]

@@OceanSwimmer The Kyrie sung by the chorus is plenty doom-laden for me, but when the soprano takes up the Christe the mood changes completely. This is precisely what Mozart intended, and it's got very little to do with religious belief. The story behind it is as compelling as the music itself, IMHO. Wolfgang married Constanze without his father's permission, which in those days was a serious insult. To make amends, he wrote this mass where the Kyrie chorus represents Wolfgang on his knees, beseeching his thundering father Leopold for mercy, followed by Constanze with the beguiling Christe solo. But all for nothing; Leopold never did warm to Constanze.

A summit in the summit 2:38-5:29 the famous *Christe solo*, a re-use in k427 (which in addition of a promise to Leopold, was a gift to Constanze for their 1st wedding anniversary) of an exercise Wolfgang had written 2 years earlier to train and outline Constanze's voice. The wonderful Kyrie culminates with this famous soprano solo. This is what you get when Love and God, the 2 main inspirations for music, are combined, in the peak of a giant work from the best composer ever, played in an exceptional venue (Nobel Prize Concert 2008, before the prizewinners and the Royal family), by a top soprano, a top conductor (JE Gardiner made a number of remarkable recordings of k427, all with top sopranos, like Sylvia McNair, Barbara Bonney), and 2 top full SATB choirs.

Great comment. Maybe there are 3 main inspirations for this particular music (listen to the words) Love, as you said, and God, as you said: those are two: but there are really three:, love, God, and what God wants us to think when we are trying not to forget God and Love (God knew this music with the first two, Mozart and the people who inspired Mozart - Hello Cecilia - also understood it with the first 2 - but we only understand this music by remembering what God wants us to think when we are trying not to forget God and Love - Cor ad Cor loquitur, Heart speaks to Heart). Or maybe the 2 inspirations you mentioned are enough. But I am simply human and those 2 are not fully in my wheelhouse yet. If they had invented the internet faster we could ask Mozart.

​@@eduardoguerraavila8329it's not really fair is it, when Beetboven studied him for 30 years , learning all his techniques, ideas, etc, while mozart was dead and couldn't get better himself. Mozart was 35 when he died, and Beethoven barely had his 3rd symphony written by age 35. Beethoven simply "sucked" at writing for the human voice. It's just a fact. Maybe he got lucky here and there when he went with his truck load size musical notebook he had. If you want drastic instrumentation, some feeling, irregular beats and harmonies, and mastery of string music, you can feel good about Beethoven. BUT, if you want a glorious, singable , astounding music with melodic content, transcending, effortless transitions, and be In complete awe, you listen to mozarts works for human voice . There is a reason he is #1 or #2 ever for human voice compositions. Beethoven fans have zero mozart respect. Lol Beethoven himself adored the guy. Mozart was living rent free in Beethovens head the rest of his life. A man who helped finish the bridge from classical to Romanticism was still scratching his head studying mozarts dissonance quarter on his death bed 34 years after his death.

[@hrishikeshdeore5340]

Natasha Youngblood is youngbird your real surname

[@cyrushyram5673]

It's a prayer for forgiveness. She's singing, "Christ have mercy on us." It's both tragic and frightening, prompting self reflection on personal sins and failures. Yet the divine beauty of the music, overwhelming our mortal sense and stirring such passion that we're carried high in the clouds with the notes towards Heaven. I imagine a curious angel parting the gates a bit to test the sound, allowing the deep humility of the choir to resonate within paradise itself, setting the frame for the soloist to beg penance in audience with God Almighty, for the whole of humanity. All of us. How could the judge of mankind find fault in this honest attempt at redemption? Finally as her query reaches its climax and the last echos fall silent beneath the supporting framework of voices and music, the conjured mood grips both heaven and earth in poignant understanding. Not a breathe is dared which might alter the moment. Thoughtfully mindful not to place any expectations upon the King of Kings, Mozart completes the magic in a musical form of exhaustion, lest any hint of insincerity break this sentient, lyrical spell. A final tone to silence all else carries us back down to earth, floating, falling, where my very soul trembles at the fervent experience. And our Heavenly Father can wipe away all imperfections with a smile. Tragic indeed, it's our nature. Yet this example transcends all wrongs for an instant, a masterpiece for all times and certain proof that we are children of God.

One of the best melodies I have ever listened to. Really beautiful!!!

3:26 Stairway to heaven... so incredibly beautiful.

Este Kyrie es mi obra favorita de Mozart. Simplemente me eleva.

Not of this world

This is an incredible piece of music which captures so well the pleading by ordinary mortals for mercy and pity. Appropriate for a requiem.

[@lucasborda2280]

Mozart deberia ser un adjetivo de la excelencia elevada a la perfección.

[@juniorribeiro3630]

Também concordo !!!

[@mariateresapereiraferreira3947]

Mozart was really a genius! Divenely inspired!

[@YadRock]

Purely marvelous ! One of the greatest opera (i mean work) delivered by the Master. Thanks, many many thanks to have delivered it !

Sweden produces this kind of good lyric sopranos every year. And they all sound the same too. Fantastic!

[@thomashogan16]

Sweden? Do any of them even believe in God, let alone attend Mass?

[@UnusGrunus]

we're all children of God regardless of Masses or whatnot

[@ludovico6890]

You don't need to believe in God to enjoy Mozart.

@@thomashogan16 So what? For me music is something divine... i never felt closer to peace then when listening to heavenly music....

[@djxeon]

2:15 Mozart is truly a genius , his absolute dominance over this part is incredible. He is a true virtuoso

Profoundly beautiful. This is supernal love translated into music.

[@ns102676]

Is Mozart's genius so astounding that it's a miracle? I believe in science but science can't explain how a young child can write out of this world symphonies.

Mutations happen, man. Plus, his father was abusive.

It is said that when God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden He said "As a consolation I give you music." To which we respond "Thank you."
