[@jackrnickles]

Malcolm, there are no words, nor notes, nor thought that can express your grief. I lost my partner of 23 years very unexpectedly a year ago March, he was 54. While the grief eases with time, it will not vanish. Music can amplify grief for some or give a transcendent escape from grief for others. Give yourself the time and space you need. Sadly we take our sorrow with us to our grave; our love and wisdom can be left with the living as her love was left with you.

Back about 15 years ago I was a young punk rocker. My academic supervisor dragged me out to a classical vocal concert. Honestly the soloist were amazing but not my cup of tea. Then they all came on stage to sing this. I tell you I literally melted, I had such a physical reaction to this, I could barely stand up afterwards. The chills on the major to minor changes just literally melts me. This is amazing.

Yeah for some reason I don't seem to have much of a personality that tries to hide my sin, shame and guilt. I can just as easily tell someone about my sins and regrets as another person tells a friend about what they had for coffee. This is both good in being transparent but its also bad in that I lose trust from people. King solomon tells us to be wise and not just blab about whatever we feel like, to be wise and prudent.

After one month in a coma, my beloved Father passed away during the night in March of 1993. As Director of my University Art Gallery, I had to immediately install an exhibition before flying with my wife for his funeral. I had heard this hauntingly sublime, all choral music previously. Somehow as I was working alone in the silence of midnight, I had an image of my Father's coffin slowly--as if in slow motion--circling gracefully as it made its climb to heaven, accompanied by Barber's Agnus Dei as sung so emotionally here with serene beauty. I knew then that my dear Dad was at Peace. And so was I. The incredible power of great music, just one of the many legacies this wonderful man left to me. A vision of grace and eternal Love.

[@malcolmgray5515]

Having been greatly moved by the kind words of many people far and wide, I should like to add some of mine: My Wife Denise spent most of her last year in a Care Home nearby, she was hit badly by Covid there a year last November. After lockdown in February last year she was isolated in a bedroom and from then I was unable to see or speak to her. Last November she contracted Covid there again and succumbed in just a few hours. All I ‘got back’ was her corpse in a coffin, and the same thing happened to many thousands in this Country. Before my life with Denise, which began in 1960 - we wed in 1966 - from 1947 I had a platonic friend, Carolyn, she was five years old and I wasn’t quite five! Carolyn passed away on the IOW a few weeks ago, and so ended my companionships with two of the loveliest Ladies imaginable, and they were close friends with each other. They were both cremated, so the greater proportion of them, just water, is up there somewhere in the clouds, and my philosophy is that when “Raindrops keep falling on my head”, it is the two of them saying “Hello”. When, in Churchill’s wartime words “In God’s Good Time” it is my time to “Slip The Surly Bonds of Earth”, words by Spitfire Pilot John Gillespie Magee Jnr., I will join my two Ladies, probably on a ‘High And Windy Hill’, then with them on each arm, stroll along an endless beautiful beach in Cornwall with its music of the sea and children playing, heading for a distant village bakery which produces perfect Cornish Pasties - Manna indeed! I have plenty to occupy my mind with a real prospect of longevity, and I subscribe to Tennyson’s “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”, however there is a constant need for ‘loss adjustment’. Accordingly, with the indulgence of you Mr. Choirmaster and ‘your’ illustrious Choir, every time I listen to their memorable rendition of Barber’s Classic, I like to think I can hear both my Ladies’ creditable soprano voices. Whilst Gielgud’s “This Imperfect World” in ‘The Scarlet and Black’ film apply particularly to today, I commend for you, dear Reader, these words in a poem by Alexander Pope “Hope springs eternal in the human breast”. And I have these words for my Ladies, wherever they are, by Hope himself : “ Thanks for the Memories”. And finally, at the end of Dicken’s classic ‘A Christmas Carol’, Tiny Tim’s words : “God Bless Us, Every One”.

[@jackrnickles]

By now you also know that you continue to say “Goodbye”. It happens unexpectedly: the line between a memory and a vision blurs and that awkward combination of love, sorrow, and joy takes control. It passes quickly. Once again you say goodbye. Music that we listened to together, such as this, sometimes creates that response. As a chorister, music that I sang and moved my partner, has become music that I feel I am singing to God and my partner in the same setting. As we sang the final “Jerusalem” in rehearsal of Faure’s Requiem (the at will make up the majority of our All Saint’s Day service), I said goodbye again..

[@ThePfriemler]

I have read many comments on this piece. That's one half of the coin. The other half is how professional singers have to be to sing this piece to such perfection. As a member of a highly acclaimed professional choir, I have an idea of how much effort and work goes into forming a choir like this - work that is far too little appreciated, especially as a master of this craft is the director here. Restraint, power, stamina, huge arches carved out, intonation, tricky invervals and harmony changes - this piece is much harder to master than it might seem, and this choir masters this piece in a truly extraordinary way. My greatest respect!

[@stephaniewatrous7951]

This is by FAR the greatest piece of music ever composed. I close my eyes and I imagine hearing God's angels singing this as I'm slowly leaving this earthly body where I'm faced with the tunnel and light at the end. I have no fear but a unrecognizable peace. All my lifes memories are played at the sides of me one final time as I walk towards this this irresistible desire to walk faster to this light. I smile at the memories that had faded from my mind. The light grows closer and closer until I'm engulfed in perfect light, peace and love and my eyes focus on our risen Savior. He reaches out His hand for me and I am now home and I am truly truly loved. Eternity has just begun....

Quand tu papa mourut et toi dans l'hopital, vous etiez connectes tout de meme et vous le savez, parce que les emotions que ces sons sacres eveillent guerissesnt les blessures. Jesus a dit: plus ou moins: Vous qui souffrez, venez a moi et je vais vous soulager''.

Did anyone else's love for the original Homeworld game end up bringing them here all these years later? I had never heard Adagio For Strings before, and certainly not Agnes Dei set to it. Classical music was a big interest to me at the time, and this song has always moved me more than almost any other.

[@RavelKhay]

Kind of! Homeworld was one of those "Oh wow...!!" games for me that really shaped me in a way. It sounds kind of weird, but to me, that game is a piece of art, perfectly composed. And the music was a big part of it, because it gave space (the space) the theatrical partner to its breathtaking endlessness. This piece was the most stunning of all and at first I thought "what the fuck, somebody composed this for a video game and it's SO good!". Of course, I later found out that this wasn't the case, but it was the first classical music cd I ever bought :)

A piece that breaks my heart and mends it, every time I listen. Timeless, achingly beautiful.

Je ne peux m'empêcher de repenser à la première fois que j'ai entendu cette pièce. C'était, comme pour un bon nombre de personnes de ma génération sans doute, lors de la sortie sur les écrans de "Platoon" d'Oliver Stone. J'avais 16 ans, et sans parler du film lui-même, déjà tragique et déchirant, je garde encore intacte l'émotion pure et instantanée que j'ai ressentie à sa première écoute, dès la séquence d'ouverture du film. Bien sûr, c'était une version synthétique, rejouée et enregistrée avec un clavier, mais déjà, la partition me frappait au cœur sans que je sache vraiment pourquoi ni comment l'expliquer. Quelques années plus tard, je découvrais bien sûr le chœur initialement prévu, ce qui décupla mon ressenti émotionnel, en particulier lorsque je la vis et entendit interprétée en live. Mais ce n'est que lorsque j'eus atteint une certaine maturité après avoir embrassé une carrière de musicien professionnel que j'en saisis la véritable teneur. Je compris alors pourquoi adolescent j'avais été tant bouleversé par elle. Depuis, systématiquement, j'ai toujours veillé à retrouver ce sentiment brut, vierge de toute connaissance, de toute analyse, de toute pensée, lorsque j'écoute un morceau de musique pour la toute première fois. Je dois cet automatisme à M. Samuel Barber, auquel je veux rendre hommage ici par cet humble commentaire. Bravo au Vlaams Radio Koor et à M. Marcus Creed, son chef de chœur pour cette magnifique interprétation, ainsi qu'aux techniciens son qui ont fait un remarquable travail de captation et de mixage.

In the midst of this horrible and defining pandemic these strains bring hope and peace--of something beyond the horizon and all this distance and death. Something larger than ourselves--something quieting, the sound of a still small voice? Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Find God's Will and Purpose for Your Life Through His Scriptures - Written By The Holy Spirit Through People On Earth - God Chooses Us, We Don't Choose Him (Dueteronomy Chapter 7 verse 6) Know That God is a person, Jesus, who walked this earth and died for our sins, was crucified and Rose Again, a person The Son of God, is a person - The Holy Spirit, who came to earth in Jesus' place, is a person (referred to as HE, in the Bible). Open your mind, and your heart will not be stone antmore (Ezekiel Chapter 36: Verses 26-27) - Merry Christmas to You and You're New Year Will Be At God's Goodness and Guidance (Like Mine 💕💗🌷❤️). God's blessings, peace, Grace (which begins where our human ability ends, cause Good wants us to know we can rely on Him for Everything, He is in Control, if we have a measure of Faith which increases with every step we allow ourselves to take with God) and patience, to just wait, and let Him tell us when and where to proceed. Check out Derek Prince - He explains that what happened the Bible is more relevant today in Dec 2023 , And, how His predictions are coming true. Amen ❤

Beautiful, Thank-you Jesus Christ, maker of the voice to sing and the ear to hear. How worthy you are of our praise, and what joy awaits those who believe, repent, and trust in you.

An absolutely beautiful performance of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written (for me).

Beautiful.....for these troubled days. Once the Corona virus leaves this planet, may we have a deeper, more humble approach to each other....and the planet.

[@rikk319]

Coronavirus will never leave the planet. Like the other four coronaviruses in the general population, most of us will eventually acclimate to it with herd immunity...after many of us die. This is how viruses work. They evolve and adapt in order to continue to spread. Perhaps this music better represents the sadness that is the ignorance that grips so many today, who scoff at modern science, which has rescued us from so many other germs through antibiotics and vaccinations.

In the spring of 1970 my high school choir visited another school. We performed this piece perfectly. What an experience that was! Unfortunately, we never recorded this piece. It exists only my memory. Such a beautiful thing here on earth.

[@gavinguitar2194]

Was that your altimate experience? Or just musically?

[@bcgrittner8076]

@@gavinguitar2194 Sticking to the subject of music - In 1969 my high school choir traveled to Europe. We spent a week in Freiburg, Germany. We performed our own concert in the city park, and then participated in an international choir fest. In life, having married, having a son, then a daughter, seeing them married, having four grandchildren. I continue to sing in my church choir.
