I don't think there has been funeral music to better this. It has such nobility, dignity and sadness, I played it at the funeral of my partner who died suddenly at the age of 46. The verses are beautifully sung. Three hundred years and it still moves us. What power there is in music to speak across time, it expresses the ineffable.
+AGMundy My condolences. Can't agree more, music can tell what can not be said. I find this music tearing my soul apart, and there is comfort in it as well.
When I compare it to works by Gabrieli and other composers from a similar era, this piece stands alone, miles on top of anything else. One of Purcell's greatest masterpieces, and for me, frankly, one of the few Renaissance works of any kind that I can appreciate without having to make allowances for the limitations of the period. There are others--but not endlessly many.
Thank you. There is indeed comfort in music. As you say it says what cannot be put into words. I concluded the funeral of my partner with the final chorus of Bach's St Matthew Passion sung in English "In tears of grief". The Purcell here is sung beautifully with clear diction and harmony giving it such dignity and effect. The instruments are lovely and crisp, the brass conveying the sense of crying in despair and the sense of loneliness one experiences in death.
people have heard songs from other places and always attributed it to games and such such as Herv Roy's Lover's theme and Torreador. figure THOSE two out, i dare ya
That's the Kubrick bit brilliantly used by him. I love it. But as I keep listening, it sharpens me up for something even worse: our short time to live before our appointment with the Grim Reaper. The killer drum rolls for this at the beginning were not used by Kubrick. Purcell was the greatest English composer!
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence.
It was a very typical tactic for Stanley Kubrick to juxtapose music and art representing the heights of civilization, with images and scenes of humanity’s great propensity toward depravity. I think it’s a fascinating juxtaposition .
Moreover, the movie begins with the FUNERAL of the QUEEN Mary. I think that Kubrick wanted to say : Monarchy and order died, anarchy is everywhere, welcome in the future England.
@@pythongalactique4001 Kubrick is worth all the effort one could ever bring to bear in trying to understand his work precisely because of what you said.
While singing the bass voice, I discovered I could do the tenor part instead and it amazed everybody including me myself how well I performed. It was 40 years ago and I still feel privileged to have been a part of this otherworldly, magical music.
Ironic that but a few months after the funeral of Queen Mary in 1694 the same death march was played for Purcell himself. It was particularly sad that the master was but 35 or 36 years old. What a loss! Interesting to note that Mary II and William III were co-sovereigns. She was the natural heir of her father, James II. Her sister Anne followed after the death of William in 1702.
FRAGIORGIO1:Indeed,Purcell died in such a young age because people used to die so early&easily ,so it's considered 'normal' back then...! Thanks for the rest of info!Regards!
reminds me of the ancient pharaohs whose slaves got buried along with them to keep serving their masters in the afterlife. ..just a weird association though.
Can anyone help me in finding out the piece that sounds extremely similar to This? It’s more the brass works that sounds similar to another piece. Thank you
ineffablesplendor, there are no trombones in this video. There is a sackbut (with the red handle) and three "Flatt trumpets", a kind of Renaissance slide trumpet.
This is by far the best rendition of this wonderful music on RUclips. It needs to be re-taken in high-definition, but absolutely no change in setting, visual production, introduction, musical quality and sonority. The percussion and wind instruments are perfect.
Queen Elizabeth II died today at the age of 96. 70 years of reign. I'm not English, not even British. But it's part of our history that is going away. The first thing that came to mind when I heard about his death was this song. So here I am.
Well, for most of the Baroque period, England was either in a civil war or under a military dictatorship, by people who strongly disapproved of Fun. Not much time or money for patronage of composers. Handel came much later, once the Germans took over the monarchy 😄
@@Loreman72 The Commonwealth lasted just 11 years from the execution of Charles I in 1649 until the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 - hardly ‘much of the Baroque period’. Similarly, the English Civil War lasted - on and off - less than 10 years, c.1642 - 1651.
i remember being at HMV on Oxford St. in 1975 browsing ( as always at the classical music session . iI was only 16 years and was already an avid searcher and very fond of antique, baroque and classical music. it was then when this record came to my hands. At the shop i listened to it's beginning and boom! i bought it immediately and brought it home! My mother, a classical music lover and a former lyric church soloist got very impressed by my exquisite taste and by the beauty and greatness of this remarkable work. best music ever!
Sublime, si déchirant. Cette ode pour les funérailles d'une jeune souveraine nous tire presque les larmes de nos yeux. Interprétation d'exception. Oeuvre inoubliable du génial Purcell qui fut hélas fauché par la mort jeune encore. Peut-être avons nous été privés de chefs-d'oeuvres merveilleux.
Such dignity, such nobility, such beautiful voices. The text is so poignant. Purcell achieved something that I think has not been surpassed. State funeral music which is also personal and heartfelt. One cannot but hear this and weep.
"Beauty is but a flower Which wrinkles will devour; Brightness falls from the air; Queens have died young and fair; Dust hath closed Helen's eye. I am sick, I must die. Lord have mercy on us!" -Thomas Nashe, "A Litany in Time of Plague".
I wish it was this kind of music played for the funeral of our own Queen Elizabeth I l. A dirge if you will. The drums displaying deep grief, -to my mind, there is no celebration, just a loss. God bless Elizabeth ll and Long Live The King!
Mary died on 28 December 1694 , 3 days after Christmas . And as I understand , could not be buried for 3 months due to the bitterly cold weather , the ground being frozen hard . Imagine what how the king felt , he loved her very much !
That won't have been the reason. She is buried in the Stuart Vault in Westminster Abbey. She was left lying in state in the Banqueting House in Whitehall Palace. Her death was unexpected and from being diagnosed with smallpox until she died didn't give enough time to arrange a suitable funeral. Plans were certainly delayed by the freezing weather but she could still have been buried.
One genius makes way for another. Purcell composed this piece for the funeral of Queen Mary II and it was soon used at his own funeral. However, Mary’s successor, her sister Queen Anne, subsidized George Frideric Handel £200 a year.
Purcell, Bach, Lully, Vivaldi, parecen seres de otra galaxia. Qué suerte nacieron en un planeta de la Vía Láctea y hoy seguimos emocionándonos y extasiándonos con la belleza de sus composiciones. Gracias Dios mío por tanta belleza.

A marvelous recording of phenomenal performances. Humbling & exalting simultaneously; awe-some in the original meaning of the term. Thank you so much for sharing it here.
I am embarking on a journey to personally survey the realm of classical music as it is termed. With the help of David Dubal's THE ESSENTIAL CANNON OF CLASSICAL MUSIC and B.H. Haggin's THE LISTENER'S MUSICAL COMPANION, I have started in the 15th century. This majestic piece by Henry Purcell has made my roadway most uplifting. Thank you...Jim Shaw- Rochester N.Y.
Those early brass instruments must be difficult to play well (I'm a trombone player and have never tried them, but I assume). These guys sound so good. And so cool to see the forerunner of the trumpet, and early bone with long slide needing a handle to reach outer positions. It used to be that moving a slide while playing was the only way to make a horn chromatic.
There was me, that is Alex. And my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgy, and Dim, and we sat at the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our razoodocks on what to do with the evening.
goodolarchie what on earth are you talking about? This made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I see that some other people have posted something similar, but I am at a loss. None of the above is sung by the choir, I know this piece pretty well having sung it several times and nowhere does this nonsense make an appearance
@@chocotubeconcafe7524 I only knew this from "A Clockwork Orange". Since it acted as the main musical theme of the movie, I assumed it was a Wendy Carlos original. I was wrong.
Beautiful. I have to do it for an ensemble of this for school- (I'm the leading trumpet.) And I wanted to see what this would actually sound like, and this is just beautiful. Bravo.
Purcell met une attention particulière à cette ambiance de mort. Il en résulte une beauté, une sobriété que seul cet ensemble de Cambridge (de toutes les versions que je connaisse) pouvait donner. Absolument magnifique. A l'image des interprètes.

One of the heaviest songs ever conceived, brutal lyrics! The whole package 🥁🤘 *Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and ne'er continueth in one stay. In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased? Yet, O Lord, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
Purcell, along with Scarlatti, were my first classical music loves when I was in grade school. I preferred them even to J.S. Bach! Purcell has had a huge impact to this day,even among pop musicians.
This would be the perfect overture for a film "The Queen's Lover," based on the Philippa Gregory novel and set from the end of the reign of Queen Mary.
It’s too bad so many people only think of Kubrick’s film when hearing this piece. This piece is haunting and beautiful, and Purcell’s compositions are England’s gift to the World.
There are two slide trumpets, one flatt trumpet, and one sackbut. (in order from left to right in the last segment). These are the types of horns that may have been used.
J'avoue mon incompréhension. Parler du film de Kubrick en parlant de cet ode à la mort de cette jeune reine? Le film est bien mais ? reste simplement un film. Alors que cette musique a été composée en 1690 et des brouettes. On ne parle déjà plus du film. Alors que cette oeuvre restera intemporelle. Au reste, qui a compris la leçon de Kubrick dans son superbe film ? Beaucoup n'y ont vu que la violence. Peu de gens ont remarqué l'analyse de l'emprise de la folie chez cet habitant de cette campagne qui voit des jeunes violer sa Femme. Et qui transmute cette violence dans cette IX ème symphonie de Ludwig Van ... comme dit celui qui subit cette sublîme symphonie. Et c'est là la véritable violence qu'a montré Kubrick. L'imprégnation des accords des tymbales et des cordes à forte puissance dans les neurones dérangés de ce violeur. Comme quoi, Purcell est sublîme . Tout comme Beethoven et aussi, Kubrick.

Great performance ......and excellent trumpet playing on tromba da tirarsi....!!!
It’s too bad so many people only think of Kubrick’s film when hearing this piece. This piece is haunting and beautiful, and Purcell’s compositions are England’s gift to the World.
well...EXCUSE ME QUEEN if i don´t hear classical music everytime
Every moment spent listening to Angharad Gruffydd Jones is a great moment well spent.
Very very great and beautiful
There are two slide trumpets, one flatt trumpet, and one sackbut. (in order from left to right in the last segment). These are the types of horns that may have been used.
Excelente observación amigo, tu si eres un experto
Musique céleste et quelle pureté du timbre de voix.
Master piece
Liam Howlett from The Prodigy used to put this before some gigs around 2018. Amazing.
Truly, dramatic solemnity. To die for!
ahem...respect!
Queen Elizabeth just passed today. I heard this in the radio. Then went to watch a film, and this was the fist piece of music played ..bit spooky.
Magnifique musique superbement interprétée ! Bravo !
Just love the sound of the Sackbuts, and natural trumpets.
Thus precious music....
This gets you ready for some of the old ultra violence
It´s not old...think my friend? kkk

i can feel the power of moral inside, not like music today!
C'est dans le film "Clockwork Orange" de Stanley Kubrick que j'ai découvert cette musique et les frissons qu'elle pouvait déclencher.
J'avoue mon incompréhension. Parler du film de Kubrick en parlant de cet ode à la mort de cette jeune reine? Le film est bien mais ? reste simplement un film. Alors que cette musique a été composée en 1690 et des brouettes. On ne parle déjà plus du film. Alors que cette oeuvre restera intemporelle. Au reste, qui a compris la leçon de Kubrick dans son superbe film ? Beaucoup n'y ont vu que la violence. Peu de gens ont remarqué l'analyse de l'emprise de la folie chez cet habitant de cette campagne qui voit des jeunes violer sa Femme. Et qui transmute cette violence dans cette
IX ème symphonie de Ludwig Van ... comme dit celui qui subit cette sublîme symphonie. Et c'est là la véritable violence qu'a montré Kubrick. L'imprégnation des accords des tymbales et des cordes à forte puissance dans les neurones dérangés de ce violeur. Comme quoi, Purcell est sublîme . Tout comme Beethoven et aussi, Kubrick.
NO, WE KNOW THIS MUSIC, BEFORE THE FILM!
When beauty, sadness, greatness and sorrow combine in music form to give our ears orgasms for days
Quelle superbe interprétation.
RIP gracious Queen you are with god now. 🕊🕊🕊🕊
What god
@@sayori-the-thing the god of the holy Bible the creator of the heavens & the universe who became man died (for you and all humanity) on the cross and was resurrected on the third day. That’s who. We celebrate his resurrection this Sunday. Christ has risen.

Pura belleza, sublime. Pueden dar más detalles del grupo de núsicos y de los cantantes, por favor. Gracias por este regalo.
Means a lot on this day. RIP a very good Queen 💔
Esta pieza de Purcell, para mi es una de las mas grandes composiciones de la música Universal. Su profundidad, solemnidad y belleza es inimitable.
perfect tempo
