Song to the Moon - Antonín Dvořák

[@marcphilos9915]

Someone posted this song on my FB timeline for my birthday several years ago. It made me cry.

[@avyanschannel]

I keep coming back to this magnificent version of Dvorak's Song to the moon. No matter how much I listen to this, it's just magical beyond what words can describe.

[@nickybaker1338]

I have just saved this to my playlist. It's enchanting 🥰

[@lisatait2715]

Oh... you had me at the music. Then I found and read and the lyrics, and I am weeping uncontrollably.

[@Trapper4265]

If ever asked, "What if you had one song to listen for the rest of your life, what would that song be?" I honestly would say "Song to the Moon" by Antonin Dvorak

[@fourcoline4375]

Tout est fabuleux la voix la musique et vos videos merciii👍👍👍

[@icmeler2000]

Antonin immediately captured my attention when I first heard his works in music class at school in 1970. He has a special place in my heart and I have visited the great man's grave in Prague to pay my homage and respect. His mastery of melody & harmony is omnipresent in his works from the captivating 'tunes' within his gorgeous 'Slavonic Dances Opus 46 & 72' to masterpieces like this that grip you in an entirely different way. The highlight of my next visit to Prague will be getting a train from the city to the north and alighting at Nelahozeves - his birthplace - to visit the town that gave us this musical genius and by a method of transport that appropriately enough he was so fascinated and captivated by.

This is what happens when someone sits down to compose but ends by making a dream substance

[@estefanylouie]

the moon... its existence is just so beautiful.

[@carlhale4089]

One of the most passionate, tender, embracing, romantic, stunning arias ever written!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Diva Fleming and Maestro Dvorak!!! :°°°)

[@mikaelmoro2808]

This is what's playing while pure souls get into heaven 💙

[@opieutt9038]

I can't express how this song makes me feel. I heard it on "Driving Miss Daisy" and had to get more info.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Indescribable beauty Indescribable comfort Indescribable feeling and something indescribable After listening to Fleming's incomparable soprano , I may dream of joy and sorrow of the falling in love with someone Listening to Fleming's breathtaking soprano , I might have a dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother . That is the ultimate in bliss for me I want to give the feeling of thanks again to nostalgic my late beloved mother My tears is a testament of long farewell and sincere tribute to you , Mother . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@davorinflis3825]

Reading your comments, I think we all simply have no words to describe beauty such as this.

[@glam1007]

Beautiful. Thank you, Dvorak, you must have been sent by god.

[@johnkholloway9837]

We all are, even you

[@javierjm1600]

Sure.

[@cooltoon2001]

words cannot express how unbelievably beautiful this piece is. I just close my eyes and I am taken to another place instantly...

[@angieroy2576]

This is what I think heaven must be like, what an experience to have in our lifetime 🥰💞

[@shin-i-chikozima]

I am touched by her clear voice that sings the outpouring of heart of Water,s Spirit in love .

[@道-p2e]

her signature song, always on her list in any concert...

[@shin-i-chikozima]

It's said that if you bathe your whole body in the light of the autumn moon , you will live longer . Listening to her exquisite soprano will add 10 years to your life expectancy

[@georget.8454]

A lady that was singing so nice in front of St.Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh brought me here and the help of my sister which recognised the song and author ❤

[@camillarigamonti3447]

This opera is in Czech. I discover right now that Dvorak was born in Boemia. It's a wonderful piece, thank you very much for put it on with these amazing paintings. Ciao.

[@amesharlem9325]

What's interesting about getting chills, is, they're totally involuntary, which really indicates something has real value.

[@WilksonVitor]

It makes me feel enamored . It is so touching ! Thank you Dvorak for your gift for all humanity , we thank you so much !

[@movieguyq]

it's not just the glorious sound but she reaches right inside my heart with the haunting feeling of a dream slipping away.

[@nicholemaccalley9462]

Thank you for not making me google the translation. 🙂

[@carlooro7406]

I've been loving this masterpiece since I was a child. Nothing is changed: this music makes my heart tremble still now, everytime I listen to it. Thankyou Dvorak!

[@frankmcgarth2686]

Here here Dvorak . 😭

[@AstridRohleff]

Wunderschön gesungen ❤❤!! So stimmungsvoll! Ich bin auch eine Mondanbeterin!!🎉🙏

[@shin-i-chikozima]

In this world , only our mother,s love and her stupendous soprano can be heartily appreciated . I am listening to her singing song with tears in my eyes.

[@JohnYeo]

This is just so beautiful the sound transports your mind to places of wonder and dreamy paradisical emotion.

[@tonymccarthy6713]

Has to be my favorite Dvorak piece of music. So underated.

[@jamescarew8136]

I enjoyed the accompanying images as much as the music. thanks for putting this together and sharing.

[@penyenli3795]

Moon is a symbol of motherhood. Such a soft sensitive piece. Beautiful !!

[@mariawopereis2027]

Moon is Motherhood..humanity is born on the Moon.

[@monabaum2094]

Want to say Thanks. So wonderful, written by Dvorak and a really High class Singer give the essence of perfect Beauty of music. Love it.

[@luigiarenna9946]

Incantevole.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Canción a la luna, exquisita aria de ""RUSALKA"." Magistral interpretación de ""RENÉE FLEMING"" Simplemente maravillosa.¡¡¡

[@jamesfarrell7465]

Upon hearing this I am reminded that Mankind is not a mere clever animal; we are a living connection to the Divine. Our souls carry the Divine within and are moved by beauty. We are God's bridge to His wondrous creation. I am awestruck and humbled that a fellow being could create such beautiful sounds.

[@irenegeorge9735]

Enchanting... Magical... Beautiful...❤

[@Binkyebibodey]

Transcendental piece of music, my favourite aria!

[@Mrmadmartigan8420]

THE, most beautiful song ever composed. The song to end all other songs...

[@stevereade4858]

Easily one of the best arias ... of all time. So touching; so poignant. Not always recognized as the great lyricist he was, Dvorak went way beyond his considerable talents with this! A close friend of Brahms (who felt Dvorak was the better song-writer), few ever listen to his great Symphony #7 ... dark, brooding, powerful. It's the equal of any symphony Brahms or others wrote, stopping short of Beethoven, and I'm not Beethoven's biggest fan.

[@margike100]

I think I posted 7 years ago, but I can't find it. My mother died 7 years ago, August 28, 2016. I never knew this piece, but a day or two after she passed, this was brought to me. (by my mother) The song's story is that of my mother looking down on her beloved husband who was lost, "I just want her back", he said. On the night of her passing the moon was up and ever so lovely. Later, just before her body left the house, a hummingbird hoovered beside me on the porch, then went to the front door and hoovered, then flew up into a tree. After the hearse drove away, I watched the clouds rush in from the west welcoming what appeared to me to be an angel cloud ascending, with the morning sun shining behind it. All my mother's departed family members had come to welcome her home.

[@e.conboy4286]

I am deeply touched by your experience and appreciate you sharing it. I understand how devastating losing your beloved mother was and pray you will always find comfort in this breathtaking performance and in your precious memories of your pleasant times together. ❤️ a grandmother.

[@virginiaklutki7803]

[@samclement754]

It's just... astounding! You know?

[@UNECONOMISTAECOLOGISTA]

A beautiful piece of music that so often gets overlooked. Ted McCarthy

[@stephenmedza970]

So very beautiful and sung brilliantly..

[@shin-i-chikozima]

In memory of my late mother . This pensive song was heard when I was in my mother,s womb . I heard the sound of my beloved mother,s heart beating . My mother was near the fireplace , and I was listening to this pensive song in the womb of my mother with the sound by which trees burst .

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

I wish my daughter would remember me as kindly as you do your mother.

[@manthasagittarius1]

If you will fight for freedom, fight for that too. Does she even know you wish it? That it all wounds you and bereaves you both?

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

@@manthasagittarius1 Yes I have expressed my love for her in many ways. We are far apart in our ideas. Maybe being 40 years older than her has put us asunder. She has been a difficult child and now a vitriolic adult who is very much in the world. But I pray for her and there’s always hope. Thank you for your comment.❤️🙏🏼

[@shin-i-chikozima]

@@CharlottePrattWilson Thankyou so much to Your wonderful and heartfelt comment I hope you are well From A corner of Tokyo where is full of sorrow and grief and anger

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

@@shin-i-chikozima I’m so sorry to hear that you are sad! I was in Tokyo for about a week in the early 1990s for a Mike Tyson fight. My then husband was covering the fight for CNN. The world is in turmoil, everywhere. I pray for peace. Pax Christi, my new friend!

[@Agnetha1221]

[@6Australopithecus9]

Sempre que ouço essa música, e ouço muito, sinto a mesma sensação todas as vezes. É algo mágico.

[@MegaCirse]

This music is absolutely sumptuous .... rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the orchestra, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humble and immense master!

coming from a death metaler this is some seriously emotively powerful stuff, struck deep.

[@ThaevynTheFool]

[@anomalyp8584]

It's not weird. Metal fans are more refined in taste than the average person. Appreciation of vocals is high.

[@brasil33]

A gracious response from a Death Metaler 👍💪

[@angelicamartinezr.8965]

So beautiful, marvelous. Thanks for the lyrics translation.

[@DarkSword271]

Such a beautiful aria, there are just no words to describe a beauty like that! They do not make music like this anymore...

[@DCM8828]

Hey, just wait a second there, Game of Stones! We have Beyonce, have we not?

[@Avynders]

^ Not even funny.

[@davida.3984]

Check Gorecki no. 2 and don't say that again

[@道-p2e]

good music not always coming out the same pace, same with singers, hard to beat 70 and 80's on the opera stage, maybe looking forward next 10 years, something could happen

[@timmartin6188]

This is why I love Dvorak, never heard this before and am new to opera and classical music, having only seen a translated Carmen. Would you know which other opera is like this or simply good for newbies to try?

[@georgegebhardt8942]

This is the epitomy of the human voice.

[@stephenmedza970]

Heavenly, beautiful music. Sung with passion.

I saw Renee Fleming perform this as her last of the 5 encore pieces. She called it her "signature" aria. I was in tears by the end of it.

[@esterbalbi4558]

amazing voice

[@PanayiotisVyras]

Měsíčku na nebi hlubokém Světlo tvé daleko vidí, Po světě bloudíš širokém, Díváš se v příbytky lidí. Měsíčku, postůj chvíli Řekni mi, kde je můj milý Řekni mu, stříbrný měsíčku, mé že jej objímá rámě, aby si alespoň chviličku vzpomenul ve snění na mě. Zasviť mu do daleka, řekni mu, řekni mu, kdo tu naň čeká! O mne-li duše lidská sní, ať se tou vzpomínkou vzbudí! Měsíčku, nezhasni, nezhasni! Moon in the deep sky, Your light sees far away , You wander around the wide sky Peering into human dwellings. Moon, stand still for a moment, Tell me, tell where my beloved is! Tell him silver moon, That my arms are embracing him, So that he for at least an instant Remembers me in his dreams. Shine to a distance for him, shine for him Tell him, tell who is here waiting for him! If his human soul is dreaming about me, May that remembrance awake him! Moon, don't disappear, don’t disappear!

Piccola luna, così alta nel cielo, la tua luce mi trafigge da lontano, tu erri per il vasto mondo, tu vedi le cose degli umani. Piccola luna, fermati un istante, dimmi dov’è il mio amore! E digli, piccola luna d’argento, che per me tu l’avvolgi fra le tue braccia, digli che, almeno per un istante, egli si ricordi di me in sogno. Rischiaralo, laggiù, molto lontano, e digli quanto l’aspetto! E se io apparissi in sogno, a quest’anima umana, forse si sveglierebbe con il ricordo! Ah, piccola luna, non nasconderti, non nasconderti, non nasconderti!
