Arvo Part - Stabat Mater - 1/3

[@brotherbeyer]

The art that pours forth from such a breathtaking surreal piece like this is but another vibration of the same that flows through her music. Judgement is the separating piece between "you" (anyone) and the experience of art and magnificence. Without contrast in this world we could not see the value of our own uniqueness, and the beauty of diversity. Each aspect of existence brings light and purpose. Without fear we could not see the true value of compassion. For some, her music brings meaning.

Sublime. Still my fave composer after 19 years aquaintance with his music.

[@tomtomthebear]

i personally believe that its beautiful that so few people listen to this as it makes it far more personal to the people that do...

[@lyrabella]

This recording is FANTASTIC.

[@Sicioldr]

Questa musica è così bella...This music is so beautiful...I have no words for describe the storm of emotions dragging my soul...

[@DelendaEstCarthago1]

Terrifying. Haunting. Glorious. Contemplative. Majestic.

[@ajessm]

Arvo part has managed to capture immense and heart-rending sorrow in his music. It is probably only a tiny fraction of what Mary endured during her Son's agony and death. It does give us, maybe,some understanding however small, of what she endured.

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

amazingly haunting and powerful!

[@donatellabc]

sublime.

[@m-bronte]

so beautiful

[@DelendaEstCarthago1]

@GandervimWoopsnagle What a wonderful observation. I wish more people would understand this. It would be a better world if they did. God bless you.

[@Sir.Larselot]

This is maybe Pärt´s most sincerely opus...i admire it very much :o))

[@voce29]

The Stabat Mater has a special place in my heart since a heard it about 25 years ago.I know it is Mary standing under the cross, but does anyone have an english or german translation?

and almost 3 milion views for Tinchy Stryder Ft. N -Dubz - Number 1. Yes im am devastated to -)....Number one is pretty coool though.

@Cuoin Based on the wording of the comment to which you are responding, the statement was that Paris Hilton's music is trash, not necessarily the people listening to it.

[@SGFawkes]

This is heaven...

[@haineux]

Wikipedia has a bunch of articles about different versions of this piece, and at least one has an English translation.

Deus nobis haec otia fecit, namque ille erit mihi semper deus

[@LOLpsyentist]

inspirational.

[@jockboy69]

And don't forget Steve Reich. Very difficult music to play (or sing), but a non-musician would never know how much concentration his music requires to perform. A minor error by a single performer in a Reich piece could result in a complete breakdown of the whole work. Likewise, Part's music also would sound fairly easy to a non-singer, but nothing could be further from the truth!

[@entwine]

@Cuoin I agree, it's only 98%.

[@jcps59]

good taste room is too Little my friend (fortunately)

[@vanessahermandes7623]

Muy Bella Mi music video

[@warchild1942]

Less than 10000 listeners to this magnificent music, and millions for Paris Hilton's trash. Isn't it disappointing?

[@MargarethMargareth]

@warchild1942 We have found a treasure,- they have not. Shhhhhh...don`t tell them... ;-)

[@dlinkk]

Arvo Part is clearly a party animal

[@jockboy69]

Yes, a bit of an exaggeration, I admit.

[@bassrob2]

@Cuoin He didn't say the world's population was human trash. He said Paris Hilton was trash. LOL

[@nsgvna]

warchild1942 and ulybaZZa. Don't you think there is a huge contradition in finding Part's work, highly religious as it is, wonderful and sublime but then making misanthropic remarks about humankind in general?

[@FabianRothschilde]

No. Whilst I understand your sentiment populist, lowest common denominator carcrashes will always find a mass audience. Ten thousand blessed listeners, I say.

[@FabianRothschilde]

...having said that, I'd rather party with Paris than Arvo. Sorry...
