Running in the 90s (Initial D) - Medieval Style with Latin Choir

The text of this canticle hath been adapted from the Latin Requiem Mass by Brother John. Sister Alison joineth him in the choir stalls whilst thine truly blasteth upon sackbuts, plunketh catgut, honketh racketts, and so forth.
Instruments used (multi-track recording by me):
Suona (chinese oboe similar to medieval shawm)
Trombones
Classical guitar
Church organ (synth organ + melodica)
Several straws taped together with double reed cut into one end (sounds like a medieval rackett)
Plastic bottles (drums)
Shaker
Small cymbals
Lyrics (adapted from the Dies Irae and the Requiem Introit):
Dies iræ
Dies iræ, dies illa
Solvet sæclum
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Dies iræ
Dies iræ, dies illa
Teste David
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor
Quantus tremor
est futurus
Quando Judex
est venturus
discussurus
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus
Requiem æternum
Dona eis Domine, O
Requiem æternum
Requiescat in pace, O
Requiem æternum
Dona eis Domine, O
Requiem æternum
Lux perpetua, luceat eis
Tuba mirum
Tuba mirum
Spargens sonum
Per sepulchra
Regionem
Ante thronum
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus
Requiem æternum
Dona eis Domine, O
Requiem æternum
Requiescat in pace, O
Requiem æternum
Dona eis Domine, O
Requiem æternum
Lux perpetua, luceat eis

I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for the awesome song!

[@BackPalSA]

Thank you for helping create one of the foundational memes of the internet.

[@scienceme9794]

Someone should mod this over the boss fight music of the charioteer boss in Dark Souls 2.

[@BornRemaining]

Dude.
These are supposed to be meme songs, not actual works of art.

[@pacotaco1246]

But also if they happen to be art then i don't mind

[@olafgurke4699]

The originals are already works of art, imo, but this just hits completely different.

[@gamechanger8908]

If we go by original definition of a meme, even a work of art like this is considered a meme "memes dna of the soul"

I am definitely using this in my DND campaign.

[@gabrielrussell5531]

Since everyone knows that Infernal sounds like Latin-chanting, this is perfect for any of the vehicle bits of Descent into Avernus.

[@CheesyChez421]

Here's the scenario:
Post apocalyptic medieval world with devil's, demons and aberrations running amuk.
PCs are escaping from a literal hellish prison from the BBEG who is an incubus lich. The party does battle but gets overwhelmed and flee, but the incubus lich summons a Necrosaur T rex and chases the party through a jungle. Cue music.

[@Fruitcupper]

As you drift your stallion the choir and orchestra kick in!

[@MichaelRichardson36]

Your medieval covers are fantastic! I love the incorporation of the original Dies Irae chant. Great work.

[@therasa001]

Thanks!

I know Medieval covers started as a joke but this is just true masterpiece territory. Great work! Love the Dies Irae in there as I used to sing similar pieces in a choir!

[@aname4399]

this is literally the best thing ivbe ver heard. i have never felt more seen by the youtube algorithm. this smacks so incredibly hard. i wish i heard this in my five years of latin so i could show everyone i know

[@therasa001]

I'm glad you like it!

[@XenoSun]

The artistry and effort put into this track may exceed the original.

[@ineedabetterusername7424]

The Dies Irae really lends the sense of dread and urgency this song needs.

[@OceanGroupGamer]

Legend has it this song was played at William the conquerors coronation

[@laamonftiboren4236]

Divine.
I just a-raised thy reckoning of likes to 10-score. Though me thinketh thou deservest 10-score times that for this noble chant. I beseech thee make more Bardcore, for thy craft is among the best, forsooth!

[@zeldanilador4]

So freaking underrated!!!

[@ShotgunDilo]

Time to blast this in history class

This improved my religious domination game in Civilization 6 by a ton

[@SwedishSinologyNerd]

Well this is hands down the best thing I saw in in a while.

[@capybaraman2836]

I can't stop listening to this. This is not a problem.

[@capybaraman2836]

back again to listen to this on repeat. I've probably done this at least 10 times since August. I went on vacation in early September, first thing I did when I got back? Listen to this song on repeat all morning. 9 hour time difference, this thing cured my jet lag I swear

[@capybaraman2836]

seems like another listening sesh this morning

[@capybaraman2836]

What a lovely day to listen to my favorite song on RUclips

[@TikoVerhelst]

I bloody swear! People always joke "this would have been a hit in 1300".
But, like, this would have ACTUALLY been a hit in like the 1200s!
Like, you could have played this during the Plague and people would sing along. Because they knew the melody from a vulgar song and the lyrics from a religious poem.
I like the pun with the 900s and also the idea of Dies Irae as the year 1000, was a real thing at the time. I just think it wouldn't be super realistic with my knowledge of that time. But idk, maybe it could still be a thing in a big city like Paris or Rome.
I DO KNOW this song can fit in right with "ai vist lo lop" and "Carmina Burana"! (Both roughly 13th century!)

[@aguyontheinternet8715]

Do these lyrics mean anything?

[@therasa001]

The lyrics are an extract from the Dies Irae, which is a medieval poem in Latin about the day of wrath. As far as Latin texts go, it's pretty famous since it's used in the requiem mass

[@Shadow-hw3kn]

The text at 0:25 should say Running in the 990s
