Some of these comments are confusing the facts. Mozart wrote this aria for his sister-in-law Josefa Hofer to show off her incredible range. In a completely different opera, Cosi fan tutte, he wrote the aria "Come scoglio" for Adriana Ferrarese, his librettist's mistress, whom he hated. He knew that she dropped her chin on low notes and threw her head back on high notes, so he composed "Come scoglio" to jump between high and low notes, leaving her "looking like a pecking chicken" on stage. But this aria was meant to show the world how amazing his sis-in-law was.

It's terrifying because of the high notes the soprano has to hit, rather than the tune itself. And, IMO, Diana Damrau is one who nailed it over more than 20 appearances as the Queen of The Night. Small fact: QOTN is also a magnificently perfumed flower, aka Night-Scented Jessamine (Cestrum nocturnum) and a noxious weed in Australia.
I sang this song ( the queen of the night ) and honestly? I have never feely my soul die faster. I got a 1 though (which is the best you can) and scared the fuck out of the judge because I sang it so aggressively 😂😭
Other musicians: teases Mozart Mozart: walks over to piano calmly Mozart: starts playing this without any sheet music (without even looking at the piano) while staring at the other musicians dead in the eye Other musicians: My time has come
Here are the english lyrics: The vengeance of hell boils in my heart, Death and despair flame about me! If Sarastro does not through you feel The pain of death Then you will be my daughter nevermore.

(as death) Hear, Gods of Revenge, Hear a mother's oath!
Ich habe immer gedacht dass"Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, Sarastro Todesschmerzen" eine absolut sinnlose Wortfolge sei. Dann habe ich mich immer darüber aufgeregt dass das doch kein richtiger Satz sei. Als ich dann den Satz mal umgestellt habe, habe ich Ihn erstmals verstanden...Wenn Sarastro nicht durch die Todesschmerzen fühlt, (dann geht der Satz noch weiter, habe ich nie gerafft), sollst du nicht mehr meine Tochter sein. (-> verstoße ich dich)Im Prinzip ist die epischte Szene aller Zeiten also ein Vorläufer von RTL II / Mitten im Leben"..
Sooo jealous but in a benign way. If anyone took us to see that, we don't know about killing Sorastro but our ass would definitely be sore after back at their place.😂
The funny thing is Mozart wrote this aria specifically for his sister in law because he hater her. He wanted her to fail while performing it and ruin her reputation 😹 Omfg I forgot about this comment until just now... Also I just realized this story may not be completely accurate but that is what one of my music teachers told me, yet again I could be wrong
That’s actually wrong and constantly repeated but go off I guess... It wasn’t his sister-in-law (Sophie Weber) but Adriana Ferrarese that he hated. He wrote Der Hölle Rache to showcase Weber’s immense skill/comfort in high tessitura pieces (she was well receive as the Queen of the Night FYI) and he wrote COME SCOGLIO from Cosi Fan Tutte for Ferrarese because of the repetitive shifts from low notes to high notes. Apparently taking great pleasure from the fact she dropped her jaw on low notes and threw her head back for high notes thus resulting in her head bobbing like a chicken during that bravura aria.
Wow! I’m just lately, after 40+ years of life, discovering that I enjoy listening to classical music. Anybody that can play this on piano is unbelievable! I’m in awe
I am a member of Gen Z, and I think it is wonderful that classical music is something that people from all walks of life can enjoy. You should try playing a classical instrument, I play flute and absolutely love playing this aria!
Those soprano notes are terrifying because they're the Queen's evil laughter, delighted by her own plot to have her own daughter kill Sarastro, her own daughter who if she did not comply, would be cursed by the Night Queen for all eternity.
Spot on - people forget that Mozart was drawn to the story, the libretto and the lyrics - and this music only works with the words being sung. The music by itself has no horror, the idea of what this queen communicates - what she is prepared to do to her daughter... Then the emotions pour through in a way that is difficult to describe, but heavenly to experience.
It's actually not evil laughter but is more recognized as the stabbing. Because not only she orders Pamina to kill Sarastro, but she hands her the athame to stab him.
This is beautiful thank you so much! ‘Ein vogelfänger bin Ich, ja’ would sound awesome too if there was a ‘Mozart’s most foolish aria’ video in the works😉
Mozart: writes this song Humans: Put this song (with lyrics) on a Golden Record and send it on the Voyagers into the endless space Aliens: Intercept this song Aliens: Translate the lyrics Aliens: Send invasion fleet to eradicate humans *Mozart, The other Austrian that brings end to humanity*
so after watching this a year or so ago, i remade the whole thing in FL Studio, took me 3 hours, BUT for my producer friends PLEASE analyze this. The tricks for chords and accidentals that you learn from this are awesome. Even with my choir work I was able to better a lot of stuff just from this one piece. Seeing the notes and being able to feel the music so to speak is so helpful. Incredible job SMB, thanks. *edit* Also, the major thing for me was the sick bass run at 0:36, learned a lot just from that on how to make a fun bassline that grabs your ear
Love it! The Magic Flute is one of my favorites from Mozart. I've downloaded on Spotify a great performance. Keep it up guys, you're simply amazing.!!!!
I sing this aria a lot too, because I can, it feels great and terrifying at the same time. This is also one of my favourite arias, and I never expected to find this aria as Mozart's most terrifying aria.
He was such a genius he could make the music fit to who was performing it. His sister in law one of the best sopranos at the time In Vienna. She was capable of hitting the top F multiple times and carrying it. Other arias in die Zauberflöte were less complex to fit the abilities of the author of the Libretto Emanuel Schikaneder who plays Papageno. (By less complex I don’t mean easy just not near as difficult as the Queen of the Night)
I splurged several years ago and attended a concert at the Vienna Musikverein. One of the pieces chosen to be sung by the rotating cast of singers was the Queen of the Night aria. I knew the piece going in and the singer did not disappoint. If I recall, they did not use an electronic sound system; rather the singers relied on their voices and the acoustics to carry the sound. I gave the lady a standing ovation. My favorite version online is by Diana Damrau.
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW MY NAME This is not so hard, with so years of practice you can learn this piece easy. I mean you need time of course but everybody with the basic knowledge in piano can learn this without major difficulties.
I think most skilled pianists could play t easily. Singing it is another thing, however this song actually isn’t even close to the hardest soprano aria out there, in fact it’s not even the hardest one for this role in this opera. Not to make it sound easy or anything, but you would probably be shocked at just how freakishly high a trained soprano can sing. Some of them go well into whistle tone with ease.
This song is like the female erlkönig for me. Same haunting vibe, same extremely fun backing, same extreme technical difficulty, but also EXTREMELY fun to learn and get into character with. Like, getting into character for the 4 characters in erlkönig was the most fun I ever had in singing, while my sister says being the queen of the night is so much fun too.
Nah, I think Lacrimosa is his most terrifying. It's just so haunting... Mozart wrote Lacrimosa on his deathbed. He never completely finished it and passed the work down to one of his pupils. It still has a grand, epic scale to it, but not nearly as grand as all his other songs. Lacrimosa was _meant_ to be death itself. The word 'Lacrimosa' translates to 'weeping' in English. I find the music itself and the fact that it was written in part by a dying man much more scarier than just a fictional story and a creepy sounding note.
The reason he said it was Mozart's most "Terrifying" aria not because of how it sounds but that it is technically difficult to sing and only the best soprano singers can sing this aria while keeping in character.
Can you imagine Mozart asking his student, "Where is the composition you were working on?" "Yes Maestro, here it is!" Mozart: "This title, Baby Shark??!"
@@danyg1400 same! I have a performance tomorrow and I wonder how many years of experience it'd take for soprano to achieve that, if possible by just training at all
@@marianneazar, just the other way around. Only a young soprano is able to sing those F6. In fact, few sopranos have that note. Amazing sopranos like Callas, Caballé or Price never sung that aria.
“Mozart leaned to his wife Constanze and whispered these words”: ““Mozart leaned to his wife, Constanze and whispered these words””: “””Mozart leaned to his wife, Constanze and whispered these words”””: “”””Was zum Teufel ist RUclips?””””
Actually the facts that more scare me is that for mozat, rage is like a positive energic feeling that a negative energetic feeling (for example, when you recive a gift you are normally happy and excited, but then if the gift cause you to rage, then you are upset and wants to destriy something but in both feeling you feel with energic) like if in reality when you are in fury you can have pleasure from that.
It looks like we are celebrating Halloween early with this amazing, yet spooky aria composed by none other than Mozart himself. I must say, my disappointment is nonexistent and my day is perfect.
This is one of my favorite pieces from Mozart!! Just stunning, and so other worldly!!! He was a genius, and will forever be remembered as such! ♥️ R.I.P Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ♥️

Same too
This song is like the female erlkönig for me. Same haunting vibe, same extremely fun backing, same extreme technical difficulty, but also EXTREMELY fun to learn and get into character with. Like, getting into character for the 4 characters in erlkönig was the most fun I ever had in singing, while my sister says being the queen of the night is so much fun too.
normies: pianos can’t rage
this song: what did u say
this song: hold my keys
Rachmaninoff laughing in the distance
This song: am I a joke to you?
@@UnholyEquinox or Bartók :D
When the word ‘song’ causes more rage than the notes in the PIECE😂
Ok, the concept of learning about a piece while earing it is really enjoyable. Thanks!
Nah, I think Lacrimosa is his most terrifying. It's just so haunting...
Mozart wrote Lacrimosa on his deathbed. He never completely finished it and passed the work down to one of his pupils.
It still has a grand, epic scale to it, but not nearly as grand as all his other songs.
Lacrimosa was _meant_ to be death itself. The word 'Lacrimosa' translates to 'weeping' in English.
I find the music itself and the fact that it was written in part by a dying man much more scarier than just a fictional story and a creepy sounding note.
EZ SLEZ agreed
The reason he said it was Mozart's most "Terrifying" aria not because of how it sounds but that it is technically difficult to sing and only the best soprano singers can sing this aria while keeping in character.
Agreed. Confutatis maledictis aswell is fucking terrifying
Agreed. This clickbait title vid is stupid.
@@Godzilla-xt4nd Shouldn't it be called Mozarts most "difficult" aria, then? Clickbait!!
Rage from People Who trying to practice this completely
Mozart in Heaven : _You need to be mozart to mastered it_
Lol
Oh! The one where evil raven lady asserts dominance with staccato!
Marlon Jazen Arcaina (ma9014) mHm lmfao
"The queen rival"
*gets barbie movie flashback*
-This is an aria.
-Dear God...
(1:19) -But there's more...
-No!
Is that a motherfucking TF2 reference?!?!?!?!??!!
😂
Today is good day
How ironic that something that sounds so beautiful has such a dark story and history to it.
When Mozart goes full Beethoven
This particular aria always makes my skin crawl.... never knew why. Now I do.
The vocalized version is also massively terrifying.
Can you imagine Mozart asking his student,
"Where is the composition you were working on?"
"Yes Maestro, here it is!"
Mozart: "This title, Baby Shark??!"
Myself: Hey if that soprano girl from that toyota commercial can sing this i can right?
*my vocals: no*
She did? link pls
Ever try? Start at a lower key, then work your way up. Whistle it even. It'll work.
She's abysmal tbh.
The Toyota girl is not a coloratura soprano 😑
Its actually a volvo commercial
*mom hitting me with a sandal while hitting those frustrated notes*
*thats what I hear*
1MLN subs finally! Congrats bro!
This splendor of words can not attach it
Mozart leaned to his wife, Constanze, and whispered,"Your adopted".
XD dude
I just imagined the whole thing even tough I don know who is constanze
@@yurianvise1672 His wife. After his death, she married a Dane and moved to Copenhagen.
wat
Mozart leans into his wife and whispers
"WTF"
Sounds like the music played for a silent movie when the villain ties the helpless heroine to railroad tracks.
Wunderbar !!! ... would love to time-travel back to see this 'Live' from Herr Mozart !!!
Mozart’s genius shines in this arrangement. The piano samples and mixing sound great!
when i saw the title, i knew exactly what they were talking about. this aria is incredible when performed live.
Literally no one:

HELL YEAH

슬프지만 노잼
This is actually very beautiful. I don't see how it is scary
It's a scary piece to sing for sopranos because it has some of the highest notes written for sopranos. Messing up, vocal strain, possible damage, etc
Marianne Azar
Only soprano opera singers can sing this perfectly, and even they struggle.
As a young inexperienced soprano, it terrifies me.
@@danyg1400 same! I have a performance tomorrow and I wonder how many years of experience it'd take for soprano to achieve that, if possible by just training at all
@@marianneazar, just the other way around. Only a young soprano is able to sing those F6. In fact, few sopranos have that note. Amazing sopranos like Callas, Caballé or Price never sung that aria.
@@robert111k However, Nilsson used to sing it backstage as a warm-up for her Wagner performances.
Mozart created the first “bet you can’t sing this” challenge
I can sing it
Desc:"Beware the Queen of the Night"
Me: *Watching this vid at night*
Help meh... XD
*rolls Mozart*
*Grailed to lvl 100, skill 10/10/10*
"You're truly a man of culture"
1:03 these notes are actually the queen's evil laughter as she mocks her daughter
0:43 why does that sound so good? it sounds like perfection
Because the chord progression is I-V-vi-iii-IV-I, which features three consecutive motion down a perfect forth, which is very satisfying to the ears

@@meowtank AHAHAHAHA
1:08 I've been hearing people sing this part and I was like "damn whose song is that" and now realized it was Mozart's.
Actually the facts that more scare me is that for mozat, rage is like a positive energic feeling that a negative energetic feeling (for example, when you recive a gift you are normally happy and excited, but then if the gift cause you to rage, then you are upset and wants to destriy something but in both feeling you feel with energic) like if in reality when you are in fury you can have pleasure from that.
I just moment ago discovered your channel, and this posting is 2 now years old. I certainly hope you are still doing them! Magnificent! Love it!
Diana Damrau managed to sing this so
Diana : 1 Mozart : 0
Diana Damrau is just one of the best Mozart performers of our time. But Edda Moser deserves to be mentioned too.
Mozart was the only pne who could play it ao
Mozart: 1
Diana: 1
i mean mozart obviously couldnt do this, men have lower pitch
The moment when your music teacher is her friend and she congratulate you on your 1 at music
“Men have lower pitch”
Uhhhh
I have helium?
"Magic Flute, Queen of the night" took me only the first couple of notes to know what it was.
It looks like we are celebrating Halloween early with this amazing, yet spooky aria composed by none other than Mozart himself. I must say, my disappointment is nonexistent and my day is perfect.
Jesus those subtle extras Mozart just threw in to give flavour. Man was insane, just understood music with no barrier other than time.
This is the most beautiful aria of the most beautiful opera ever composed.
"Mozart leaned to his wife, Constanze and whispered these words:"
*it's free real estate*
LOL 😆 🤣 😂
What is the most terrifying aria ?
.
.
.
Aria Stark.
i know what you did there :p
I love the visualizations, it is an advancement in music for us all
This is not only my favorite aria, but also one of my favorite musical works of all time.
"Piano Hero" is much harder than "Guitar hero" it would seem.
Mozart don’t scare me like that
just think about the fact that the whole piece has to be sung
Thomas S. I guess that comrade Kim just won’t be afraid in any case)
@@sailorv8067 oh didnt realised that until now
This is one of my favorite pieces from Mozart!! Just stunning, and so other worldly!!! He was a genius, and will forever be remembered as such! ♥️ R.I.P Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ♥️
