As a user of Hollywood Choirs myself, I'm seriously gobsmacked by your skill at performing it live without having to stop and correct mis-triggered words - and no crashes! Your musicality is beyond reproach - this is one of my all-time favourite pieces, and you made it sound so alive and emotional. Brilliant!
I am impressed by your knowledge and your willingness to share it with the world, by your kind presence but I am also impressed by the emotion that characterizes your presentations and the love for what you do. I am learning so many things from you. I declare that I am a big fan of yours.
@Brayden Maddux No we (normal people) don´t care -and this ain´t the forum for that kinda thing. I mean, Come on man, grow up.. if you feel the need to hack your girlfriends instagram account combined with wanting to share how you did it with the rest of the world, i would strongly suggest you and Clyde Russell get some professional help ex. at a psychologist…
I subscribed after seeing this. I am a pianist with severe cerebral palsy. I will never be able to play Mozart and the like except via computer and synths because my hands do not work well. I have a classically trained teacher and I want to compose music for film as I studied filmmaking in college. Lacrimosa is one of my all-time favorite pieces. I am a huge Mozart fan but my teacher prefers Bach so I enjoy your t-shirt. Even though you play with such passion and emotion which I appreciate. I like to watch other people use cubase because I will never be able to afford it. I use Reaper, have an Akai MPK Mini and use whatever free VST's I can find. Thank you for inspiring me.
OMG, I'm at work (orchestra teacher/violist), just saw this pop up, and it's killing me that I can't watch it until I get home! Thanks in advance, Dom!
Tempo change is routine in much of classical music. I think that is a fundamental attraction to the human ear and mind, that the clock (the one on the wall) does not unduly intrude on our feeling for a melody and chord progression. An unaccompanied singer or player is free to impart tension, then relieve it as part of their storytelling. Pop music has always been a simple affair by comparison but even it shone with subtle tempo changes, often unintentional, that gave music a life now routinely choked out of it by the convenience of computer recording. Dance has driven quantization primarily for obvious reasons. Every classical piece ever written indicates a base tempo but is riddled with markings for accelerando, ritardando, rubato as well as abrupt change to the base tempo. It is a signature quality of music written before the advent of machines that we can enjoy even a gigue, or dance, with a radical tempo change. Mozart’s fantastic writing uses tempo changes relatively subtly, but is rife with the markings of his intent, of which Dom makes full use to build to a melodic climax. Without them, it would sound downright odd.
There's so many recreations of Hans Zimmer's Time in many DAWs, and NONE is even close to the real thing. I wish you pulled it off. Great work, beautiful. Can't wait for more.
I was playing this at 1.25x speed by mistake, and as soon as you started to talk, I thought you were on heavy duty drugs. Everything in this video is totally awesome x)
(Source: I'm a classical trombonist) Trombones were absolutely in the original composition by Mozart*, and to me, they're one of the most uniquely important orchestration elements of the requiem. Trombone was actually the first chromatic brass instrument (before trumpets had valves), so in the baroque and early classical era, they could be used to double choir voices because they were the only brass instruments that could. In the requiem, you see Alto, Tenor, and Bass trombones almost exactly mirroring the alto, tenor, and bass vocal parts throughout the entire piece (it's an amazing part to perform). There's also an incredibly famous tenor trombone solo during the Tuba Mirum movement. Trombones fell out of style pretty quickly after Mozart (very minimal trombone in the Beethoven era, for example), and didn't become a major part of the orchestra again until the late 1800's with people like Tchaikovsky. I admittedly don't know a ton about the history of how the Requiem was performed, but my guess would be that there was a period of time where many orchestras did *not* include the trombone parts - they mostly double the choir, and many orchestras during the early 1800s did not have strong trombone players (and it's a really difficult part). But since the past 100 years, trombones are an incredibly major part of the orchestra again, and I've never heard of a modern performance of the Requiem that doesn't include trombone. Awesome work by the way - I love seeing classical music represented in the DAW world! *to be specific, the orchestration was largely done by Mozart's student after he died, based on sketches and notes by Mozart, which did include multiple references to how the trombones should be used
My most heartfelt congratulations Dom. Not just for the wonderful way you are mastering your craft in every possible genre, but mostly for such a rare sense of respect towards this music. You are one of these very, very few contemporary musicians who are actually blessed with a real, multi-level musical talent, combined with such integrity. You have my full respect
Dom. You remind me why I saw the movie Amadeus in the theatre two days in a row. You have a broad range of talents. Many take professional tools and make them sound limited. You take limited tools and make them sound professional.
The hand of God guided seems to have guided Mozart’s music. This highly emotionally charged passage is transcendent in its power. You can tell Dom felt it as he worked through it. This video has taught me to avoid the short cut of just inputting midi notes and then wasting endless time trying to breathe life into them.
when I studied music at uni, I became obsessed with the orchestration in this piece, when you hear the individual parts and them building up slowly, it just makes me appreciate mozart's genius even more, wow!
Excellent tutorial. And I love that it gives a little insight into Mozart's genius for those who aren't so familiar with his work. Specifically, the use of what looks like very simple notes and motifs brought together to make something that makes the hairs of the back of your neck stand on end.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you doing these videos on Mozart's Lacrimosa. You're going to influence a lot of young people who are just getting into songwriting and DAW production. I remember when I heard Bach's Invention 13 on a Commodore 64 commercial. It changed my life...I put away my trumpet forever and shifted over to the piano. 😁
Thank you Troy! I would really like for young people to get exposed to classical music as much as possible. There is so much to discover...Bach changed my life too!
Bach, wuz da bomb! Trizzledog.... Pick ur trumpet back up! We must preserve da old wayz, azz well. They r organic, take skill & e4t 2 learn, & we must not lose da knowledge, simply bcause we have toolz of CONvenience. Dat said...... Can u guyz imagine Mozart, wit a DAW?!? WOW!!!
Coming from old school music workstations Korg Roland and doing studio midi old school in the 90s to early 2000’s, I’ve taken on DAW recently and sound you deliver is unlike anything I’ve ever heard!!! Wow!!!!! Phenomenal, impressive strings and every other instrument. 💯 +++++ the real deal here. Keep up this fabulous work of art music 🎶 🎼 🎵
@DomSigalas your satisfaction face at 18:31 says it all! You not only know what you're doing, but you truly enjoy it (we can tell) and that my friend, inspires many of us. As always: THANK YOU!
Bravo! Wolfgang would be amazed that his music is still being appreciated all these years later with these technologies he never knew would ever exist. He probably would expect us to take full advantage of what we have to create the best art we could! Thanks Dom for doing this video.
A lot of thanks for this video. At university, between 2002 and 2005, when I was student in Music, at Bordeaux, I never had a teaching with this quality. I use Cubase Elements and Musescore and it's very interesting to learn with you for a long time. I discover Holywood choir. Thanks. I think I'll buy it. What a powerfull soundbank and software for DAW. Very nice work and nice lesson (I'm choirist too and music teacher in France)
See this video was life changing for me in the musical sense! I have since enrolled in Berklee College of Music's "Composing Music in Cubase" class! I little back note, I have been writing and recording Drums for Classical Music for a few years now but this was eye opening! Thank you for the inspiration!
Truely wonderful video/tutorial. I had no idea my controller could deliver so much expression. Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge. You've changed my world.
Great job, Dom!! I've rehearsed and performed this masterpiece at least five times, both as a piano accompanist and a choir tenor. Having this result by using only these two libraries is exceptional! After your video, I strongly consider buying them! I wonder how the very next part (Domine Jesu) would sound with these libraries! Keep up with the good job!!!
You really made me notice and appreciate for the first time just how gorgeous this piece it. Absolutely fantastic rendition. So alive and full of expression! Well done! I only dabble in orchestral composition but, like you, I insist on playing every part rather than programming it. The difference in the 'aliveness' of the music when you play it instead of programming it is oceans apart, and you demonstrate that perfectly here. And damn, I envy you for being able to read music and thus reproduce something so faithfully. Lastly, that library sounds very sweet!
Dom! So you do read! Forgive me but I see so many videos of "experts" who cannot read music. You have always been one of my go to guys, but NOW! Oh man. WELL DONE!!! You are SO talented!!!! Respect!!!!!
Wow!!! This is so amazing Dom!!!👏👏👏👍👍. This is memory lane to me. Back when I was in the conservatory we performed the whole Mozart’s Requiem with full orchestra. The sound is so realistic. Kudos to the Cubase Master!👏👏👏👍👍I'm going to share this with all of my Music Tech students. I'm sure they will love this:)
You made me want to learn notation in my middle... 50's. Music is sooooo magic. Thanks Dom. It was a great video. Προχώρα δυνατά. You are an amazing musician.
@@DomSigalas Εκτός του ότι υποστηρίζουμε το αίμα μας, (το 'ριξα το σωβινιστικό μου 😁), είσαι πράγματι πολύ καλός. Το Cubase είναι το DAW που χρησιμοποιώ κι εγώ εδώ και χρόνια αλλά στην Elements έκδοση διότι δεν είμαι μουσικός, αν και θα το ήθελα πολύ. Το 2008 μπήκα στον χώρο των εκφωνήσεων. Έφτιαξα έτσι ένα μικρό home studio για να μπορώ να είμαι παράλληλα και ο παραγωγός των ραδιοφωνικών μου spot. Δυστυχώς το "συγχρονίστηκε" με την έναρξη της οικονομικής κρίσης. Αναγκάστηκα το 2018 μετά από τεράστια δεκαετή προσπάθεια να εγκαταλείψω. Ετοιμάζω επάνοδο την επόμενη χρονιά όμως. Ας περάσει αυτή η τρέλα με τον Covid και κάνω τις κινήσεις μου μετά. Take care stay safe and healthy. I'll be forward for your next video release.
Marvelous! Thank you so much, Dom! I love videos like this...orchestration with Cubase is one of my strongest learning aspirations...Your skills and talent are a perfect blend of artristic and technical mastery! Have you ever thought of the possibility to prepare a whole course/tutorial? I think many of us your fans would be willing to pay for it.
I'm seeing your video only now... 2 years after you made it. I've wished I'd seen it 2 years ago. I could've incorporated the valuable knowledge you taught here in my works back then. I will correct that now. Thank you so much for this! One last thing - Many years ago, I sang in choirs in high school and college. Of all the pieces I sang, Mozart's Requiem has always been one of my favorites.
This is spectacular! Lacrimosa always brings me to tears and you managed to convey that emotion. It's fantastic that VST-s have come that way into realism. And needless to say Mozart is a genius and your video makes it even easier for people to realize that - the sum of all these seemingly simple parts resulting in something that is out of this world in greatness! Thank you!
I shared this with my group of 2,500 piano technicians around the world. I want them to be more creative instead of just preparing pianos for others. Great video as always! Thank you again. Todd Scott
A very nice tutorial about how to make renditions of classical music. Yes, it's a LOT of work and attention to details. Now, having said that, I wish you could also pay more attention to the articulation of some parts that you are recording. Specifically the nature of the slur. The part of first violins incorporates the slur which requires first note (under the slur) to be played "deeper" (or louder), and second note (under the slur) to be played "lighter" (or quieter ). Quite opposite what you are demonstrating. This would give you even more wistful character of this incredible first violins part of this amazing composition. Subscribed.
THANK YOU, valuable tips to improve someone technique, i.e. mine as an amateur keyb player and orchestration student, is always very welcome and in your video you are super clear and every step is well explained and demonstrated.
As a classical pianist, I absolutely loved all the little details you put in this video. The Eulenburg pocket score edition - a must have -, your comprehension of VST behaviour and how to trick your Midi to make it sound more real ... You were already great, Dom. Now you're becoming legend.
Man, your enthusiasm and passion for music is really inspiring. Thanks to youtube’s suggestions I’ve found your channel. This video on Lacrimosa is one of the absolute best, and I am watching music composition videos about every day. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to watch your videos.
Many thanks for an awesome class. This particular section is what I profess to be the Greatest piece of music ever written. But seeing you re-create it with a couple of sample libraries has just left me Gobsmacked! and really eager to see more of your posts.
Super....i played the requiem several times....as a trombone player....originally barock trombobes...so you were right.....besides You taught such a lot. ThanK you
One of the best things I've seen on RUclips, ever. I discovered your channel today I'm so incredibly happy to have more of that to watch. You're a gentle soul 🙏
Thank you ! so professionally made! you even flipped your own shot (text on shirt in mirror) to make the video visually packed, amazing man ! I also start listening to your tracks on spotify and I like them a lot especially your classical scoring music, its amazing !
Wow!

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
You speak from my heart as you talk about Mozart and the Requiem.
WOW...first time I've seen anything like this...I am stunned
Letting us ear-focus on every distinct instrument and voice part like this has to be the best "educational tribute" to Mozart's music ever!

I'm seeing your video only now... 2 years after you made it. I've wished I'd seen it 2 years ago. I could've incorporated the valuable knowledge you taught here in my works back then. I will correct that now. Thank you so much for this!
One last thing - Many years ago, I sang in choirs in high school and college. Of all the pieces I sang, Mozart's Requiem has always been one of my favorites.
This is spectacular! Lacrimosa always brings me to tears and you managed to convey that emotion. It's fantastic that VST-s have come that way into realism. And needless to say Mozart is a genius and your video makes it even easier for people to realize that - the sum of all these seemingly simple parts resulting in something that is out of this world in greatness! Thank you!
This video deserves more recognition.
Thank you my friend ❤️
I shared this with my group of 2,500 piano technicians around the world. I want them to be more creative instead of just preparing pianos for others. Great video as always! Thank you again.

Thanks for sharing!!
Ridiculously helpful tutorial. Thank you.
A very nice tutorial about how to make renditions of classical music. Yes, it's a LOT of work and attention to details. Now, having said that, I wish you could also pay more attention to the articulation of some parts that you are recording. Specifically the nature of the slur. The part of first violins incorporates the slur which requires first note (under the slur) to be played "deeper" (or louder), and second note (under the slur) to be played "lighter" (or quieter ). Quite opposite what you are demonstrating. This would give you even more wistful character of this incredible first violins part of this amazing composition. Subscribed.
Respect. This is so inspiring
You got me, my musical friend. I'm all in.
THANK YOU, valuable tips to improve someone technique, i.e. mine as an amateur keyb player and orchestration student, is always very welcome and in your video you are super clear and every step is well explained and demonstrated.
As a classical pianist, I absolutely loved all the little details you put in this video. The Eulenburg pocket score edition - a must have -, your comprehension of VST behaviour and how to trick your Midi to make it sound more real ... You were already great, Dom. Now you're becoming legend.
I am left speechless!
Thank you for this.
Man, your enthusiasm and passion for music is really inspiring. Thanks to youtube’s suggestions I’ve found your channel. This video on Lacrimosa is one of the absolute best, and I am watching music composition videos about every day. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to watch your videos.
Not only is this video amazing, it really showcases the genius of the instrumentation.
wow thank you for the quality production, presentation and content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now I understand for the first time why you should learn notes and know where they are on the instrument. Really great, Dom 👍
This is absolutly mind-blowing
Θελουμε και αλλα orchestral mockups dom! Πολυ ωραια δουλεια. Μπραβο!
I really wish you would do another video that shows what you would do with this track to properly mix and master it like you said!
Not only the music, but watching you create this is very inspiring.
Had goosebumps through that whole thing. Such a great video! Very good techniques!
Hi, that is a fantastic Video - and really fascinating how You explain to create classical Sounds and Arrangements. Thanks a Lot!
I was excited from the beginning to the end... Speeeeechlesss
Dom. I am not worthy!!! I am not worthy!!! Thank you for this lesson. Amazing. amazing.
Substitute 'Wolfgang" for 'Dom' ;-)
Many thanks for an awesome class. This particular section is what I profess to be the Greatest piece of music ever written. But seeing you re-create it with a couple of sample libraries has just left me Gobsmacked! and really eager to see more of your posts.
It's crazy brotha!! We're waiting for the mixing stage ♥
Super....i played the requiem several times....as a trombone player....originally barock trombobes...so you were right.....besides
You taught such a lot.
ThanK you
The day when you can just input from Dorico will be an epic day!
One of the best things I've seen on RUclips, ever. I discovered your channel today I'm so incredibly happy to have more of that to watch. You're a gentle soul 🙏
Thank you ! so professionally made! you even flipped your own shot (text on shirt in mirror) to make the video visually packed, amazing man ! I also start listening to your tracks on spotify and I like them a lot especially your classical scoring music, its amazing !
Damn the detail! Respect
Nicely done Dom. It sounds so good. Mozart would approve!
What a great idea for such a masterpiece!
This is fantastic! Some of the greatest music ever written.............EXCELLENT DOM! Doug Gemmell in LV
